Our client in Livermore, KY, would get water in their crawl space every time that it rained. They also knew that their vapor barrier in the crawl space would need to be replaced as well. After seeing a TV commercial for Healthy Spaces, they gave us a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. After our System Design Specialist, Damon inspected their home, he found a couple of other issues that would also need taken care of.
Because of the high moisture in the crawl space, it caused mold so our team would first need to remediate that. Next, our team sealed all his vents and completed encapsulated his crawl space. Encapsulating your crawl space prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. CleanSpace vapor barrier has a mold-resistant additive that won't support mildew or mold growth. The combination of these products ensures the crawl space will remain a clean, energy-efficient space and gave our client peace of mind knowing that his crawl space will stay dry!

Sara's home in Gentryville, IN had a water problem in her basement. Not being able to use it for storage due to the water, she gave Healthy Spaces a call. Our team installed our TripleSafe sump pump system that comes with an airtight lid, primary pump, secondary pump, and battery backup sump pump. We also installed CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on her basement walls. It's 100% waterproof and has anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh that will prevent any mold growth. Now Sara has peace of mind knowing that she can use her basement as storage without the worry of ruining any of her belongings.
Dennis E. from Montogmery, IN called Healthy Spaces because water had been taking over his basement. When it would rain, he would be waiting for water to creep in, while the uncertainty of how much would enter his basement kept him worrying. He had a shopvac ready to soak up all of the water, as well as fans to help everything dry up quickly. Dennis and his family were ready to have their life back.
Design Specialist, Mike McAtee, was called to the job. After completing a thorough inspection of the basement, he decided that a WaterGuard system would best conquer the issues the basement was having. This is a drainage system installed around the perimeter of the basement that collects any water that may leak in. From there, the water runs to the sump pump, which is then disposed of out of discharge lines. Mike also inspected that GeoLocks were needed to help the basements foundation become stable. This system will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened over time if needed. This will allow for improvement and straightening of the wall. Lastly, CleanSpace was installed to be a wall covering, but also a moisture control barrier just in time for the hot summer months.
When the work was finished, Dennis was very pleased with the work that was done and was happy that there won't be any more leaking water in his basement.
Our client in Dale, IN had walls in their basement that were bowing and beginning to crack. As forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interact with the soil around your home, the soil expands. That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation walls until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing, and tipping.
After seeing a post on our Facebook page, Larry gave us a call for a free inspection. Our team installed 5 PowerBrace's throughout the basement. The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement height and tightly secured against the wall with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor below and first-floor framing above. PowerBraces are the best option when access to the yard outside of the home is not possible and problematic walls need to be solved.

This family in Maceo, KY never went down to their crawl space. It was an "out of sight, out of mind" thing for them, but what they didn't know is that their crawl space was full of mold. In the before photo, you can see a nasty, old vapor barrier that has torn and become covered in mold. Not only that, but the barrier itself has pulled away from the walls and wrinkled up to the point that it is not functional.
Healthy Spaces was called to help the homeowners get their crawl space back to a healthy and clean state. Our Design Specialist, Bob Roberts, created a plan to keep the crawl space dry and moisture-free. The SilverGlo insulation panels contain tiny graphite particles, which give it that silver shine, and reflect heat back into the crawl space while keeping the cold out. A new plastic liner was also put down on the floor to help keep water and debris out.
The combination of the liner and SilverGlo, This Maceo, KY crawl space is now smell free, mold-free, and warm. By keeping moisture and cold air out she will also have lower energy costs which will save her money as well.
