Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

Water had begun to seep into April's basement in Evansville, IN. After hearing from a friend who used Healthy Spaces, she decided to give us a call! After one of our System Design Specialists completed a thorough inspection, the best option was for our Lead Foreman to install a TripleSafe sump pump system, WaterGuard, a Sedona Dehumidifier, and line the walls with CleanSpace. As seen in the before picture, water coming in where the wall meets the floor. By installing WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump will keep her basement dry all the time!

Here is a sump pump that was installed and this shows what it looks like before concrete is laid and after. This process takes a lot of percise digging and laying of concrete and other materials in order to ensure the drainage of water in a clean, safe, and efficient way.

The crawl space in this Evansville, IN home was not a place you wanted to be. It was wet and growing mold, giving the are an overall damp feeling. Since crawl spaces are the lowermost points of a home, the "Stack Effect" explains that air flows in your home from top to bottom, meaning that the mold in the crawl space can be easily breathed in by those upstairs, causing a serious problem. 

Here you can see in the before and after photo that our team worked to remove all the debris and organic material from the crawl space. With that out of the way, they could start the mold removal process. The first step is to seal off openings to prevent cross-contamination. The second step is to remove airborne contaminants by using air scrubbers. Next, we used a HEPA vacuum to remove any loose contaminants. And lastly, we applied a solution that foams on contact, then it penetrates the soil load which will leave a contaminate free surface.

Evansville, IN homeowner Thea J. was having issues with her foundation. When she went into her basement, there were 2 walls beginning to bow inwards. This wasn't the first time she had seen this- it had been doing this over the course of many years. She finally decided to ease her mind and give her local foundation repair company, Healthy Spaces, a call. 

Upon making an appointment, System Design Specialist Donnie Stuteville came to Thea's home and completed a free, no-obligation inspection of the issues she was having. He noticed bowing walls and stair-step cracking in the foundation, which is never a good sign. Of course, the signs of wall failure will look different depending on what your walls were built with, and hers were concrete blocks and poured concrete. Donnie recommended installing the PowerBrace System. This system is designed to support basement walls and allow for potential straightening over time, therefore, it can improve the condition of your wall. Thea agreed and our foundation crew quickly installed the work. Thea is thrilled with the results!

Janice B. knew that her basement needed upgrades. She had been living in this home for numerous years and it needed a refresher. She also had issues with water intruding in her basement and knew that issue needed to be fixed before she spent the money on updating her space. Without further ado, gave Healthy Spaces a call to get her project started!

Not only did Janice B. from Evansville, IN get a new WaterGuard basement waterproofing system installed, she also decided to upgrade her basement walls with our EverLast wall panels. The WaterGuard system was installed around the perimeter of her basement catching any water that intrudes and taking it directly to the sump pump. From here, the water will be taken out through discharge lines. The EverLast wall panels are hard, durable, and won't dent like drywall. Along with that, they will never get moldy, rot, or get ruined by a flood or leak- even if the water is a foot deep for a week! They really brighten up the space with their beige and white color, too.

Janice is thrilled with her decision to get her basement waterproofed and the first step of her Total Basement Finishing journey!
