Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

This Fairfield, IL home had a cold concrete floor that was uncomfortable and just unappealing. The homeowner, Julie D., wanted to have a complete finish look to their basement so all can enjoy it. After having us waterproof her basement to make sure it stayed dry, she opted to have the flooring installed by us as well. 

The solution for this basement was to install ThermalDry basement floor tiles. Unlike ceramic basement floor tiles, ThermalDry basement flooring will never crack or shatter. They are stain-resistant, and their interlocking design assures that damaged tiles can be easily replaced. Another great benefit of this product is that it cannot be damaged by water or humidity. Lastly, there is a thermal break engineered into the ThermalDry tile that allows the floor you walk on to be 8-10 degrees warmer than the concrete below.

This is exactly what the homeowner had wanted and was very impressed with the transformation. Just look at the difference! 

Hardin, KY homeowner, Jim and his wife were struggling to control mold and odor coming from their basement.  The basement seemed constantly wet and they never felt it ever got completely dry.  "Damon from Healthy Spaces came out for free and spent over 2 hours discussing issues and solutions with us", says Jim.

Damon and Jim decided the best solution for the home was to install a full-perimeter French drain in the basement.  Healthy Spaces has installed thousands of custom drainage systems just like this one in basements and crawlspaces across the area.  The systems are comprised of a rugged plastic drainage channel network called WaterGuard.  The Waterguard connects to a sump pump system that expels the water far from the basement to keep it dry.   

Homeowner John B., in Albion, IL started noticing water building up in his crawl space. If left alone, humidity and excess moisture can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. Crawl space moisture often migrates upstairs through the "stack effect," contributing to structural damage, musty odors, and high energy bills. 

Our team first had to go in and perform mold remediation. Next our team installed a waterproofing system in the crawl space that included a SmartSump Crawl Space sump pump system and EZ Flow Drainage. The last step was to install a durable vapor barrier made of a 20-mil material similar to a pool liner called CleanSpace. CleanSpace® 20 mil vapor barrier is puncture and tear resistant. An anti-microbial agent is blended into the liner to kill mold and bacteria. John will now have peace of mind knowing that his crawl space in Albion, IL is clean and dry. 

A home in Albion, IL, had a basement with a poor drainage system that persisted for many years. The block walls contained horizontal cracking, which was caused by the foundation settlement. Cracked walls can be a scary sight, but luckily, it is treatable.  When the soil around the home has experienced heavy rainfall, that is now drying up, the foundation is affected. The soil will expand when wet and shrink when dry, causing the foundation to move and form cracks. 

The GeoLock Wall Anchor system is engineered to stop wall failure and will perform in any soil type. This system requires soil on the outside of the foundation for the steel rods to be secured. The wall anchor system can fix severed problems such as leaning walls and wall sliding in at the bottom. The process presents minimal disturbance from installation. The homeowner was satisfied with the finished result!

Brian in Marion, KY had just purchased this home for his daughter and knew the basement needed waterproofed. His realtor had worked with Healthy Spaces before and recommended he give us a call. Our System Design Specialist, Auston, worked with Brian to design a plan that would keep his daughter's basement dry for good. Our team installed a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system, which is a piping system engineered specifically to solve water problems without the worry of clogging soils from under the floor. It intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe sump pump system keeps the basement dry with triple the protection. It comes equipped with 3 pumps and a battery backup in case the power goes out. Now Brian will have peace of mind that his daughter's basement is staying dry permanently.
