All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

This property contacted All-Dry of the Carolinas because they were experiencing moisture issues. Water was leaking into the basement from the foundation base. Pictured in the before photo, we have the space before the install.

If we look at the same space in the after photo, we see that object gone. It’s replaced by a strip of wet cement. This cement is actually covering where the WaterGuard was inserted. Once it dries, the cement will blend in with the floor and the only clue that something is there will be absence of water in the basement. This system is one of the best in the business and customers are usually pleased with its results.

This homeowner in West Union, SC was having some difficulty with water intrusion in their crawlspace. Water was building up under the home, which began to worry the homeowner, which was good on their part. They called our company to take a look at their crawlspace, and one of our Systems Design Specialist was able to give a quick and simple solution!

The "before" picture shows what this area looked like before our crew came in to install the CleanSpace liner. You can see the condensation that has accumulated under the old crawl space liner that had been put in the crawlspace before we came to the home. The good thing is that the water is being trapped under the liner, however, because it is not sealed correctly, the water is still able to into the crawlspace.

The "after" picture shows the area after the CleanSpace and drain matting was installed in the crawlspace. A picture is really worth a thousand words when it comes to jobs like these. You can see such a huge difference in the crawlspace with the CleanSpace installed. Not only is the liner functional, by keeping the water vapor from getting into the crawlspace, but it also makes the crawl space brighter and more "welcoming". The area is much cleaner and more pleasant to work in.

CleanSpace can really transform a crawlspace, as this customer in Liberty found out. This crawlspace had a lot of exposed ground and a lot of standing water, which can be very detrimental to your crawlspace's (and home's) overall health. This water will evaporate and start to weaken a home's wooden floor joists and begin to grow mold.

The "before" picture shows off a lot about this crawlspace. While it does not seem that bad, there are obvious signs of water in the crawlspace. The biggest sign is the amount of dirt on the old liner. While some of this may just be from workers crawling around or loose clay, the majority of this dirt/clay comes from water being in the crawlspace and moving the clay onto the liner. Once there, the water pools on the liner and begins to evaporate. We also see a lot of open ground in this photo, because the liner was not properly installed or secured onto the walls of the crawlspace.

The "after" picture shows a much brighter, cleaner, and water free crawlspace. This is the exact same area as the before picture but does not look like it at all. The CleanSpace liner is laid out following the contours of the crawlspace ground and walls. You will not ever have to worry about accidentally tearing it off the wall by walking or crawling on it. This liner will stay looking this good because there is no open earth to be exposed to.

Whenever you think of the space under your home, you more than likely aren’t imaging a small pond. This is actually a very likely situation if your home isn’t protected. Water always flows downward, even if there are walls and floors in its way. In scenarios like this, water can pool into your basement or crawlspace by seeping through the walls. But there isn’t a need to stress when you suddenly find yourself fishing under your house. All-Dry of the Carolinas can be considered expert “fishermen” when it comes to situations like these.

In the before picture you see an old crawlspace liner that has a pool of water and mud. There are several things that All-Dry of the Carolinas can do to solve this problem! Combinations of a drainage system, a SumpPump, and an extended discharge pipe have been used to save this home in Liberty, SC from its water issues.

In the after pictures you see a neat and clean space for the SumpPump to do its work. The SumpPump will traffic out any unwanted fishing time in your basement or crawlspace. More pictures of the drainage system and extended discharge pipe can be found in our photo gallery under, “Fishing in the crawlspace solved by SumpPump”.

Foundation issues are very serious and can lead to more extensive damage to a home if not taken care of promptly and correctly. There are a number of different foundation issues that can plague a home. One of the ones that we see most often are cracks forming on brick/block foundations. These foundation cracks are usually caused by unstable soil that has settled after the home was built. This is an unfortunate situation but the condition will only get worse as time goes on. 

 This happened to be the situation that this homeowner was in when they called, however they weren't aware of it. This homeowner actually initially called to have our Specialist take a look because of high moisture levels in the crawlspace (which we were able to fix for them). During the initial inspection, our Specialist noticed some cracks in the foundation around the back side of the home. Our Design Specialist notified the homeowner about the cracks and what we could do to take care of the cracks and provide a stable foundation for the home. 

While these photos don't show a great deal of change, the transformation that this home has gone through is quite incredible. There were a total of nine push piers installed on the  backside of this home in order to properly stabilize the home and help to take care of the cracks that had formed. In the second photo you can see one of the push piers while the home was being lifted.
