Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

A crawl space in Leitchfield, KY, had wet floors with no plastic sheets laid throughout the space. This caused the family to reach out about their concerns. Crawl spaces need to be protected from any outside air that could potentially cause humidity or water to enter the crawl space. This can invite critters or mold to enter. If the crawl space is turned into an “inside” environment rather than an “outdoor” environment, then a dry airflow will be constant. To protect the crawl space from future issues, it would need to close all cracks in the space that have light entering in.

To create a peaceful mindset for the family about the health of their home, CleanSpace was laid out on the floors and walls. CleanSpace is a 20-mil thick plastic liner that completely seals off crawl space from the earth. A bonus to installing CleanSpace is that the crawl space can be used as storage if needed. A SaniDry Sedona was hooked up to create an ongoing dry airflow throughout the crawl space. A SmartSump Pump is put in to pump out water that is beneath the CleanSpace and wherever else, outside. The family felt reassured that their home would be a space to continue thriving in and having extra storage space was a plus!

During the fall time, a homeowner in Evansville, IN, noticed a bit of water entering the basement but recently, there has been a great increase in water that has made its way inside due to a large quantity of rainfall.  Whenever there is a leak in the basement and water is entering it, it can flood the basement over time.  Water can damage the interior of the basement and can create Efflorescence to show on the walls.  Efflorescence is a chalky white powder that comes from minerals in the concrete, mortar, or soil that dissolves in water and is left behind after it evaporates.  It is essential to prevent water from leaking into a basement to protect the home from major issues down the road.

To keep the water away and dry air in, the walls are covered using CleanSpace.  CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that is tear-resistant and prevents mold growth on the liner.  A basement needs a bigger sump pump system unlike a crawl space, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump is installed.  A small trench is dug beside the walls and a water guard is put in to direct water flow to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. A SaniDry Sedona is plugged in to keep a continuous dry air flow.  Having tools that work effectively as a system will create a tranquil mindset.

A home in Evanston, IN had a loft with light brown wooden beams on the ceiling.  The homeowner reached out to us when a few mold spores were spotted on the beams. Mold can be an irritant for anyone with asthma or allergies.  Mold likes to spread onto processed organic fibers, and since the ceiling is constructed of wooden beams, then the mold is being attracted to that area.  This is a treatable issue, but it is best to catch it later to prevent any physical signs of allergies or asthma. 

The mold on the ceiling is removed through mold remediation. Every problem area is scrubbed to remove any mold stains and then sprayed.  After mold remediation is completed, if a homeowner wants reassurance that the mold is not able to thrive there again, a service technician can come annually to inspect the area.  If any spots are spotted, it is normally sprayed and scrubbed. The homeowner was satisfied with the results of a mold-free ceiling!

In Evansville, IN, a family began to worry about their keepsakes in the basement when the mud was finding its way inside. If the mud was finding its way into the basement, then some cracks needed to be sealed. Whenever water or mud is leaking into a basement, then mold may grow on the corners or bottom of the walls. If water is touching the wall, then more than likely, mold will too. Unwanted things entering a basement can be overwhelming, but it is fixable!
Since it was a possibility that water was entering through the walls as well, CleanSpace was put up on the walls. This will direct any water to flow to the bottom of the wall, into the water guard system. A trench is placed beside the bottoms of the walls and then the water guard system is put in place. The water guard system will then direct the water to the SuperSump Pump. The SuperSump Pump pumps water to the outside. This whole system made it possible for the family to be able to store their keepsakes safely in the basement again.

A basement in Hartford, KY, needed waterproofing done to the basement when the homeowners noticed water coming in. Water damage can be a serious issue if it is affecting the foundation and creating mold on the walls. A basement staircase can be affected if it is made out of processed organic materials such as wood. The stairs can become unsafe and bouncy if stepped on. The homeowners were adamant about the safety of their basements.
To transform the basement from a once damp and humid place to a clean and relaxing room. Basements to Beautiful panels were put on the walls.  These panels are waterproof, insulated with integrated electrical chases, and “warm” studs. These panels are custom-engineered foam panels with integral studs that are fastened directly to your foundation walls. Water guards were also installed along the borders of the wall to direct the water to the TripleSafe Sump Pump that was put in.  The basement modified the space into a peaceful atmosphere that the family could enjoy.
