Water and faulty discharge lines never lead to anything good. This homeowner noticed his crawl space was in seriously bad shape after flooding and never draining properly took its tole. Design Specialist, Jimmy Schaefer, took a thorough look and quickly came to a conclusion..the crawlspace was in need of encapsulation and a SmartSump pump system. EZ Flow drain and Ice guard also needed to be implemented to control any flooding and excess water
SmartSump pump system was installed which included a cast iron pump, airtight lid and floordrain. This also came with a WaterWatch alarm system which works to emit very loud sounds if it is overfilled. The EZ Flow drain and discharge line were fashioned around the perimeters to control any excess water and displace it away from the crawlspace. CleanSpace Drainage matting was placed to ensure space for water underneath and to avoid any puncture damage to the encapsulation. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona was placed to reduce humidity and the rest of the basement was sealed efficiently with foam insulation in any cracks or holes.

From wet and dark, to dry and bright! Check out this crawl space transformation! This customer initially was concerned about possible mold in her crawl space. As we know where there is water, there is mold.
Our team started with debris and water removal. Then, we installed a SmartSump Pump system along with an airtight floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. Our team installed draining matting under our CleanSpace liner for optimal performance of the crawl space encapsulation. We then installed SilverGlo to provide insulation and SaniDry Sedona to keep the humidity levels low. Lastly, we installed an Aspen, a high performance air purifier with three stage filtration system to allow maximum air flow. Ending our project with yet another happy customer!
In Monroe City, IN, a home with a basement needed repairs to the cracks that were spreading throughout the basement walls. The crack was in the middle of the walls that spread throughout the rest of the walls, leading to wall failure. If a problem such as this one is not solved, then it can lead to severe issues such as leaning walls and walls sliding in at the bottom of the structure. The homeowners needed reassurance that their basement walls would not give out soon.
A GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed to stop wall failure in its tracks permanently. The rectangular, silver wall anchor system performs effectively by utilizing plates that are buried in the soil outside the basement wall. It will be installed to have up to 480 square inches of bearing surface. This system provides great stability and is designed to straighten the basement’s wall failure. The GeoLock Anchor System presents minimal disturbance to the home, lawn, and landscaping. Without the disturbance of their landscaping, it thrilled the homeowners about not having to worry about wall failure anymore!
In Monroe City, IN, a couple had a horizontal crack located on one of the walls in the basement. The crack seemed to worsen within a month or two, causing the couple to reach out to us for an inspection. Upon inspection, the wall was starting to bow and needed to be permanently straightened. The problem was solved using the Geolock Wall Anchor system. Once it was installed, the couple wanted to cover the GeoLocks to make the space feel more at home.
To cover the GeoLocks, each system is covered by the GeoLock cover. Covering the system is not necessary but it does create a "finished" look to the space.
