Hot Springs Village, AR Skilled Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair

The client's home is on a hill, and they were really struggling with dampness and knew they needed a new vapor barrier, at a minimum. Our system design specialist, Jack knew this home would need a full encapsulation. 

Jesse and his crew cleaned out all of the old debris and insulation, then graded and prepped the area. Next, they installed our drainage matting under our thick, 20-mil CleanSpace liner. With this space, the crew also needed to re-insulate the area with our SilverGlo wall insulation.  They completed the job by installing the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep that relative humidity down to a recommended 55% or lower. 

This homeowner was interested in encapsulating their crawl space because they knew there was nothing down there but had never been underneath the home to see the damage. Under this home there was the beginning signs of mold and mildew growth on the support beams. The System Design Specialist explained to the homeowner that the best step to take would to be to encapsulate the crawl space to eliminate any chance of the mold and mildew from grown and spreading. 

The crew removed fallen insulation from under the home and graded out the floor. They then installed Drainage Matting, which creates small tunnels for the water to flow through and not sit in holes in the crawl space. On top of the drainage matting Clean Space was installed, this locks out the moisture, prohibiting any chance that mold has to grow under the home. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed under the home to control the relative humidity level. A SmartSump was installed under the home to remove any water that may enter the home. This homeowner is now enjoying a healthier home from the ground up! 

During heavy rains water would infiltrate the basement of this home. The homeowners had some type of sump pumps installed, but they were not working. The system design specialist inspected the sump pumps and they were not the correct type of sump pump and needed to be removed from the basement.

To fix the problems that the home owner was having, the crew installed WaterGuard, which is a basement drainage system to capture water that leaks through the walls and floor joist. A CleanSpace Wall System was also installed to capture to all water seepage and leaks. They also installed a SuperSump, a special basement sump pump that pumps the water out of the basement. To assist the SuperSump an UltraSump was installed, this is a battery backup for the sump. If there is ever a storm that causes the power to go out the sump will continue working to pump the water out. 

This home had water standing in the basement, which made the basement difficult to use for storage. To get the water out of the basement the system design specialist created a plan to install a number of products that would dry out the basement. The crew installed WaterGuard to lead water to the SuperSump and out of the basement. The crew installed two SuperSumps, these are specially designed for basements. To go with the SuperSumps the crew installed two UltraSump Battery Backups. These ensure that the sumps with continue to work even in the case of a power outage.
