All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

This customer had a dirty and messy crawl space, but that wasn't the biggest problem. Our Specialist noticed the standing water right away. Several different spots in the owners previous crawl space liner had sunk and had pools of water. Our team came to the rescue and installed our CleanSpace Liner and regraded the crawlspace to prevent water from continuing to pool.

The "before" photo shows the crawlspace before the installation of our CleanSpace Liner. On the right had side of the picture, you can see a small trough where water can collect, which can be very damaging to your foundation.

The "after" photo shows the installation of our CleanSpace Liner. It doesn't just stop on the ground, having the barrier go up the wall pushes any condensation down into our WaterGuard drainage system, where it will get pumped out.

All crawlspaces have their quirks. This Piedmont, South Carolina crawlspace is our prime example. What we have here is a space that has a very high moisture content. Looking closely at the “before” photo, we notice that the dirt floor does have a liner. That’s a well and good. However, the crawlspace still has a terrible moisture problem. Why is that? Well, consider this. There may be a liner and said liner may be steadfastly holding back water vapor, but the walls are not protected. The cement block walls allow in just as much water, and the amount to this water varies depending on the force of the rain outside. Even with the added thin barrier of protection, the crawlspace is exposed and vulnerable.

Flash forward to the present. Flash forward to the crawlspace renewed. Take a look at the “after” photo. Isn’t it pretty?

There are very few products on the market today like CleanSpace. CleanSpace was designed specifically for the moisture-ridden crawlspace. It was designed to be a barrier. Lucky for us, it does the job without even trying. Pull up the wall, it provides protection from the outside moisture. Any water that slips through the blocks is met with immediate resistance. The CleanSpace says ‘no.’ It is not allowed to come into this safe space created here. Even the piers are subject to this method, they, too, are wrapped and sealed. The outside stays outside and the inside is well protected. Water issues exist no more.

This home's basement had a lot of water intrusion through their basement walls, floors, but mainly from this doorway leading into the basement from the outside. This is a common point of entry and if the proper precautions are not taken around these problem areas, then water will more than likely get into the basement. This customer actually had a sump pump around this area, but because there was so much water, the sump wasn't able to handle it all.

The "before" picture shows what the customer was dealing with as an entrance to their basement. There really isn't all that much here besides the concrete with a little bit of a slope to it and a small sump pump to the left-hand side of the photo, just where that mesh is. All in all, this does not provide all that much protection for the basement.

The "after" photo shows a huge difference in protection for this basement. There are several lines of defense now! The first one we have is the drain right in front of the door, so that before the water even has a chance to make it into the basement it gets taken care of. Then we have the SuperSump sump pump, which is able to pump 2,650 gallons of water per hour. Last but not least, if those two fail, we have another small backup that was installed inside the basement, called WaterGuard. While the WaterGuard won't contain huge amounts of water pouring in, it will catch a small flow of water, which would more than likely be the case.

This customer had standing water, which created a very wet and humid crawlspace. In order to help alleviate and fix their problems. Our experts installed over 1200 Square feet of CleanSpace liner (on both the floor and the walls). we also installed drain tile, and a SuperSump pump to get rid of any water that does make its way into the crawlspace.

The "before" photo shows how bad of a condition the basement was in; insulation was falling, bricks and cinder blocks were just sitting there, and the clay and mud that made its way onto the previous liner.

The "after" picture shows the installation of the CleanSpace System. Not only is it functional and keeps the water out, but it looks great too! You, your kids, or any technician that does work under your house will love this!

When it comes to your crawlspace, protecting it from moister is very important. In this home the crawlspace was taking on large amounts of moister. Not only was moister the problem, but the crawlspace was littered with debris, trash, and an old liner.  To solve this problem, our All-Dry of the Carolinas team encapsulated the entire crawlspace.
