This basement needed a Cleanspace Vapor Barrier, Waterguard, and SuperSump Pump to correct the water seepage, Flexispan to correct some cracks along the walls, and our Geo Lock Anchor System to correct the bowing in the wall.
This crawlspace was damp, dirty and in desperate need of some help. The homeowner reached out to us to tackle the issues he was having with mold and water seepage. First, we started by removing all the debris and old insulation. We then treated all the joists with our botanical fungicide, Mold-X2. Once the area was treated we installed a SmartSump pump system with a WaterWatch alarm to remove water and prevent flooding. Next we insulated the walls with SilverGlo wall paneling and lined the entire crawlspace in CleanSpace vapor barrier. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which will remove moisture from the air and prevent mold growth, wood rot, and odors.
In this crawl space, the area was in need of encapsulation and to be closed off from the moisture that had been sinking up into the home. We went to the property to install our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation system with our SilverGlo insulated wall panels. The team laid the CleanSpace Drainage Matting that lies down under the clean space liner that will keep your space clean, dry and free of mold. By having this installed, your space improves your home comfort and the clean space material is designed to permanently prevent moisture and even pests.
Two steel beams were running East to West in the crawl space, one was a full beam, the other had a joint with no support. Customer had another company come out and install a temp support, but he needed something more permanent. We came out and installed a SmartJack, which provides solid support for sagging floors and undersized beams. Smart Jacks are galvanized for corrosion resistance and can hold up to 60,000 pounds.
This was a remarkable basement makeover. We took this basement from storage space to a beautiful, usable living and entertainment space, completed with a full bathroom.
The installation materials for this project consisted of TBF Everlast Walls, WoodLook-Stoney Oak Flooring, a Complete Ceiling and 5 Interior Doors.
