Before & After

A homeowner called in with concerns of water stained walls, and a leaking basement that could damage appliances. We installed full-height Cleanspace to protect the walls, and a Triple Safe Sump Pump to guide the water outside.
This basement in Ballston Lake, NY had a crack in the wall that was leaking and unappealing to look at. The homeowners wanted to repair the crack to prevent any further water damage and dampness in the basement. Fortunately, Adirondack Basement Systems had the perfect permanent solution, Flexispan crack repair sealant. Instead of trapping the water in the wall causing the crack to worsen, Flexispan allows the water to drain at the base of the crack and into your basement. The inorganic material helps to prevent any mold growth from moisture.
Here’s a great look at the difference our CleanSpace vapor barrier can make in your crawl space. Before, this spot in the house was old, wet, and musty. Water was having no problem getting in so it had free reign to do whatever kind of damaged it pleased to the walls and floor. And though crawl spaces are not particularly a highly visited part of a house, they are vital to the overall health. If too much water is getting in it can cause the air quality in the rest of the house to be stale and stuffy. High moisture levels can also lead to foundational issues which can only lead to trouble. With CleanSpace—thanks to its 7-layer polyethylene composition—the crawl space will have a nice protective barrier from intruding moisture, keeping it at bay and from causing any disturbances. Pair it with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and some Drainage Matting and the crawl space will be even more protected from water and humidity. And, as an added bonus, CleanSpace also makes the area look pretty sleek, providing a bright boost to your dreary crawl space.
