This pair of photos highlights the difference our CleanSpace and WaterGuard products can have on a basement. Both of these products do an excellent job at transforming a basement from a gathering place for water to a dry, protected area. The primary job of both products is to gather seeping water and direct it away from the basement to a sump pump where it is sent out of the home. Call today to see how these products and more can improve the quality of your basement!
This Rensselaerville, NY basement had WaterGuard, TrenchLock, EDC, UltaSump and a CleanSpace Footer Installed to keep it dry all around!
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!
ThermalDry tiles are 12" square modular tiles that lock tight together. They have raised pegs on the bottom of them to suspend your basement floor above the cold, hard, damp concrete floor, allowing your floor to breathe. Water vapor does not get trapped in the finished flooring. If there is a leak, the ThermalDry tiles can easily be removed, the floor dried out, and the tiles can be reinstalled without having to be replaced with new tiles.
If you want the warm look of wood in your basement, we have just what you need! Real wood should NEVER be installed on a basement floor because it absorbs water vapor from the concrete slab and swells, gets moldy and rots. Just one plumbing leak will ruin your wood in minutes.
