All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

This apartment complex had water intrusion in one of its buildings. However, the intrusion was not anything too serious, although definitely something that needed to be taken care of. The help of just a few products was able to really transform and to solve this management's water intrusion problem.

The "before" picture shows the area where the water was coming in when our specialist first went out to the apartments. Many times, there is not a very obvious area where the water is coming, however, in this area, this is not the case. There is a large area where the ground is soaked with water, assumed to be soaking through the concrete on the wall.

The "after" picture shows the same area, but with the WaterGuard drain and CleanSpace liner installed. The CleanSpace liner helps to direct water down to the WaterGuard drain system, which then drains to the sump pump. The CleanSpace is definitely an important part of this system, but the "meat and potatoes" is the WaterGuard drain. The drain runs down the perimeter of the wall and collects all of the water that comes through the wall. The final step of this is for the water to drain off to the sump pump where it is then pumped out to the outside of the home, or apartment in this case.

This home in Union, SC 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 and a Sump Pump is placed 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. The SuperSump can pump up to 2,650 gallons an hour, has a WaterWatch system, Superliner with 96 holes for water flow, and an Airtight Lid. The SuperSump then drains all water outside through the LawnScape Outlet

Our team installed CleanSpace to encapsulate this crawl space, located in Edgemoor, SC.

Have you ever been sitting in your home late at night and heard a strange noise? Typically humans react with fear to things that lurk in the dark. Under your home might be scary, but you remind yourself that nothing is there. In this Toccoa home, the crawlspace actually was something to be scared of. This crawlspace was the equivalent of children fearing the monsters under the bed. But there is no need to fear because our All-Dry of the Carolinas team is the nightlight of crawlspaces. 

When our team arrived at the home the crawlspace was in ruin. The floor was covered with an old muddy liner that collected had water. Insulation hung from the ceiling, the foundation had begun to deteriorate, and even the crawlspace door was falling apart. There was even evidence of wildlife that littered the entire crawlspace.

But the All-Dry of the Carolinas team knew exactly what to do. After cleaning out all rocks, trash, insulation and animal nests, our team installed a drainage system and SuperSump Pump. This system was then covered with a drainage mat and CleanSpace Liner. Smart Jacks were installed in the ground to give the house a steadier foundation. Then after the crawlspace was picture perfect an EverLast door was installed. This project started off as a nightmare but with the help of All-Dry of the Carolinas it was able to be saved.

This basement in Mount Airy, GA was taking on water. Our All-Dry of the Carolinas team installed a WaterGuard. A water guard is a system that intercepts the water at the perimeter of the basement and drains it unseen and safely into the SumpPump where it is then flushed from the basement. WaterGuard is different because it is designed to not sit in the dirt as 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!
