Before & After

This customer had purchased the property a little over a year prior to giving us a call to look at their crawlspace. The ground was more or less entirely dirt, which meant moisture had no problem getting in and disrupting the house. One of our design specialists met with the homeowner and inspected the area to determine some possible solutions. After getting a good feel for the space and what could be done to combat the moisture, we demoed the project for the homeowner, and they liked what they saw. The first big step for waterproofing this crawlspace was to install CleanSpace along the ground and walls to create a protective barrier from any invading water. Next, a SaniDry Sedona was put in to keep the humidity as low as possible. Installation of this product is easy due to the small size of the dehumidifier, but make no mistake; the SaniDry Sedona is powerful and effective against moisture in the air. With these two products working to protect the crawlspace, water problems won’t be a worry for this homeowner.
This set of photos showcases the versatility of CleanSpace. CleanSpace—a durable, reliable vapor barrier, is typically used on walls—but if the area in question is a crawl space or an unused basement, then it can also be spread on the floor to block moisture from coming up through the ground. And even if there’s a bunch of things in the way, CleanSpace can still be installed without a problem! This 4-layer polyethylene vapor barrier is the perfect choice to keep moisture to a minimum in your home!
This homeowner had some sizable cracks in their basement walls that leaked water from the outside. Luckily, the fix to this is simple, noninvasive, and clean-looking. While the installation process looks like a one-step job, it actually involves three closely-related steps. The first is a flexible sealant that goes across the entire length of the crack. Then, a strip of a porous, flexible foam is installed over the crack. Finally, an impermeable membrane is attached to the wall on both sides of the foam strip. The FlexiSpan works in all conditions and is not affected by any sort of pressure or movement with the walls. It also won’t leak or reopen like mortar-based repairs, making it a strong, reliable solution to any leaking basement cracks.
