All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

Our crew, led by crew Forman Will Harris, started on this basement by removing the old sump pump that was once in the basement. Then our crew began to jack hammer the perimeter of the basement so that the WaterGuard drainage system could be installed. Once there was a space for the WaterGuard to be laid down, it was leveled out at a slight angle so that any water that was to enter the system would flow towards the new SuperSump Pump, then covered with concrete. The SuperSump Pump system is one of the best sump pumps on the market. The system can pump up to 2,650 gallons of water an hour, a WaterWatch Alarm System, A SuperLiner, and Airtight Lid. The WaterWatch alarm system warns the homeowner of when water has reached the top of the pump. The Airtight Lid keeps moisture from evaporating into the basement, keeps bugs out, and is strong enough to stack items on top of so that you don’t lose floor space in your basement. The water that drains from the WaterGuard into the SumpPump is then flushed out to the yard through the LawnScape Outlet.

In the “before” picture you see water stains at the bottom of the stairs and in the “after” picture you see where WaterGuard has been installed to intercept the water.

This homeowner in Hendersonville, NC reached out to us at All-Dry of the Carolinas to get a free estimate to get her crawl space encapsulated. We sent our design specialist David Listovitch out to the home where he told her the options of different crawl space waterproofing methods. This homeowner decided to go with CleanSpace which is our encapsulation liner to help control the moisture that was getting under her home. This home owner knew that moisture under the home could lead to foundation issues, floor problems, mold, and pest, so she took the proactive measures to have her home protected before something happen.

            The crawl space was cleaned and any debris and old insulation was removed by our All-Dry crew before they began to place in the waterproofing products. CleanSpace was then placed on the floors, walls, and wrapped around any piers in the area. CleanSpace is a 20-mil-thick liner that is designed to keep ground water or moisture from getting into the air. This liner is white, which also makes the crawl space bright and clean, and also makes it easy to notice if any pest or mold begins to take up a home in the crawl space.

 A TripleSafe sump pump was added to the crawl space as well, to flush any water that comes in from the crawl space. The TripleSafe liner is one of the best sump pumps on the line. It consists of two pumps that work together to flush out any and all water. Typically only one of the pumps will run, although if the first pump fails or is unable to keep up with the intake of water the second pump will kick in to out help out. In the case of a power outage, the TripleSafe pump also has an UltraSump installed in it. The UltraSump is a battery backup pump that turns on when power is lost to the main pump.

An Aprilaire dehumidifier was placed into the crawl space to keep excess moisture that is produced under the home from lingering around. The moisture is removed from the air and then drained into the sump pump where the water is then flushed from the crawl space.

To finish off the encapsulation of this crawl space our crew installed interior seal vents and an Everlast door. These products are used to give the crawl space an airtight seal so that no outside air enters under the house. Keeping outside air from entering the crawl space will help keep moisture levels down and with the help of the encapsulation and dehumidifier, there will hardly be any moisture. The crawl space was completely waterproofed by our All-Dry crew within two days by our crew led by crew foreman Ray Petry.

This basement in Hendersonville, NC was having water seep into it where the wall and the floor met. In the pictures that were taken during the free estimate by our design specialist, David Listovitch, you can see where the floor and bottom of the wall has water stains and dirt. This water was coming down the hill through the flower bed and against the exterior basement wall. The homeowners placed a fan in this section of the basement as an attempt to keep it dry to avoid high moisture levels and humidity.

Our crew led by crew foreman Jose Najera, installed 62 units of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement.

This basement had severe water intrusion causing this area to be a damp, moldy, and unusable space. After installing our WaterGuard System and BrightWall Panels, along with other products, this is now a more appealing and viable space.

The "before" picture shows just how serious of a problem water intrusion can be, creating a damp, moldy, and potentially dangerous situation.

The "after" picture is after our team installed the Waterguard System-which drains any water away from the basement floor and walls, BrightWall Panels, as well as other products. The difference between the two is incredible!

This home in Hendersonville, NC was experiencing water issues in their basement. Water would seep down the walls of the basement and begin to puddle around the perimeter of the area. To solve this issue our All-Dry of the Carolinas team installed WaterGuard. The WaterGuard system is added to basements by jackhammering the perimeter. Once the cement is removed the WaterGuard System is paced into the space then recovered with cement. The WaterGuard system intercepts the water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it unseen and safely into the SmartSump where it is then flushed from the basement. WaterGuard is different because it is designed to not sit in dirt like most draining systems do. There is a special wall flange that creates space between the floor and wall allowing wall seepage to drain through the WaterGuard while keeping it away from the dirt. Since this type of drainage is separated from dirt, the chances of it clogging are nearly impossible! The WaterGuard leads the water to the SuperSump where it is then flushed from the basement outside to the LawnScape outlet. All resulting in a dry basement!
