In Evansville, IN a homeowner reached out to us because their floors felt bouncy above the crawlspace and they wanted to learn more about encapsulation. During our inspection, we found floor joists that were stretched too far, water seeping into the crawlspace, mold growing on the wood, and debris adding to the moisture problem. To fix it, we treated and cleaned the affected wood, removed all debris, installed drainage matting under the CleanSpace liner, added SilverGlo insulation to the walls, spray foamed the rim joists to help seal out air, and sealed the crawlspace vents from the inside. The result is a cleaner, drier crawlspace and a stronger, more protected home overall.

Powerbraces Stabilize Walls in Henderson, KY Basement
These Henderson, KY homeowners were very concerned about the stability of their foundation wall. It was bulging out due to swelling soils. The soil was swelling because groundwater was present. That created another problem--leaking walls. The homeowners met with Damon Cheatham of Healthy Spaces and together, they designed a cost-effective, custom solution to both problems.
First, the installation team would jackhammer out a trench around the perimeter of the basement to install Waterguard, a french drain-like system, that would capture the wall and floor moisture and direct it into a sump pump to be removed from the basement. Second, the installers would place a wall moisture direction system called Brightwall on to the walls. This will direct the wall leakage into the Waterguard before it comes into contact with the interior basement air. This will keep the relative humidity lower and reduce the risk of mold growing in the basement. Brightwall also has the added benefit of making the basement look brighter and cleaner--a real wow experience! Third, the installation team installed several Powerbraces along the wall to stablize and reinforce it. The Powerbraces are secured at the top and bottom to provide a rigid and structually sound reinforcement to the block wall. As you can see, it looks like a completely new basement.
Henderson, KY Flooding Basement Gets New Sump Pump System
These Henderson, KY homeowners were at their wits end! They had constant basement flooding the last two weeks and prior to that, seasonal flooding that had ruined the walls and floor of the basement, laundry room, and garage.
After meeting with a dry basement expert from Healthy Spaces, the homeowners realized that they could have an interior drainage system installed in about 4 days that would leave their basement, laundry room, and garage dry all the time.
First, the Healthy Spaces installation team cut trenches into the perimeter of the three flooding areas, even around tricky corners and a curved fireplace. Next, they installed a Waterguard interior drainage system and hooked it up to a powerful Zoeller sump pump system.
In these two pictures, you can see where Steven Joseph and his installation team battled severe water intrusion to install the sump pump in the best location to remove all the water from the basement. In the After picture, you can see what a difference the right system can make! The basement is already dry and the system installation isn't quite finished yet!
Your Henderson, KY Basement Sump Pump Installation
Any Henderson, KY basement experiencing flooding needs a reliable, powerful sump pump constructed of quality components. This is a SuperSump Sump Pump from Basement Systems. Our Healthy Spaces installation team is trained to install this remarkably compact, reliable Zoeller sump pump with our Waterguard Basement Waterproofing perimeter drain system. As you can see here, the pump is placed into a cut out in the basement slab, which is then filled with rock to allow the water to freely enter the perforated sump pump basket. The basket and entire shell are composed of rigid, durable plastic that will not degrade, warp or crack like other pumps. The tight-fitting lid ensures that outside debris stay out, but there is still a drain in the lid to handle those unexpected plumbing emergencies like a broken pipe. There is a WaterWatch alarm housed in the lid as well, which will alert the homeowners if the pump fails, becomes overwhelmed, or loses power in the midst of a storm and is being filled. Finally, you can see the rigid PVC style discharge line and dedicated outlet that make this sump pump system dependable--you don't have to worry about an overloaded circuit or a kinked discharge line. If your sump pump doesn't match these standards, it is time to have one of our Waterproofing Experts out to show you how Healthy Spaces can keep your basement dry all the time!
Sealed Crawl Space Entry in Henderson, KY
This homeowner in Henderson, KY, was having issues in his crawl space with moisture and mold. Part of the problem was that they did not have a crawl space door to seal up any moisture getting in. And a leaky crawl space access door lets in cold air in winter and humid air in summer, causing condensation, mold and rot in your crawl space.
We installed an EverLast Crawl Space door which will seal off outside air, never rust or rot, and will never need paint. In addition to the Crawl Space Door, we installed an EverLast Access Well which replaces old, corroded metal window wells and rotted wood entryways. An access well finishes nicely off the outside of your home and also complements the landscaping around your home. A bed of gravel is laid along the bottom of the well, which assists in drainage to help keep out flooding water.
