All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

Very few items complement a moisture filled crawlspace like our patented CleanSpace liner. It is honestly the ultimate vapor barrier. Look at what a difference it has made. With its implementation, water vapor can no longer rise from the dirt and into the air. The CleanSpace on the walls actually block water that comes through the walls from ruining the moisture free environment.

Everything in the “before” photo is a product of an overexposure to water. The deep, muddy trench is where water has collected over the years and dried slowly. Along the crawlspace walls you can see a dark line where water had turned the trench into a pool at some point. This issue will no longer be present with the install of our CleanSpace.

One product that we do not get to install too often is the Turtl Crawlspace Entrance, which is a shame because it is a very cool product! They are installed when a crawl space entrance is located below ground level, which is one of the main reasons we do not get to put them in too often. These are airtight and leak-free entrances, so when it rains, you will not have to worry about water getting into your crawlspace.

The "before" photo shows the old crawlspace entrance, which certainly was not the prettiest sight. While it did have a cover, it still has a lot of areas for water to leak into. This entrance is also pretty tight to squeeze into, which the Turtl fixes!

The "after" picture shows the Turtl in action! As you can see, this entrance is much cleaner and nicer to enter the crawlspace in! You can also see the CleanSpace liner has already been installed in the crawlspace, which is another way we help to prevent water from making its way into the crawlspace.

One of the most important parts of an installation of our system is making sure that the water is pumped out of the home and far enough away that it won't get back to the home. Sometimes this may be just a few feet and sometimes this can be a few dozen feet. In this homeowner's case, it was the latter of the two.

This discharge line can be seen in the first photo. As you can see, the discharge line comes from around the side of the home, through the front yard, and to a bed in the front of the home. This may seem excessive, but because of where the home was built this was the closest area that the water would not run back towards the home. Our crews only remove what they need so that the impact that they leave is as limited as possible.

The photo that was taken after the crew was packed up and about to head home was much different then earlier. They do such a great job making everywhere that they work look like almost no work has been done. In this case, the area of grass that had been removed cannot really be seen. One of our goals is to solve your problems, while keeping our footprint as small as possible. The crew did a great job of this for this homeowner!

Sump pumps are an important part of the majority of the systems that we install. Sump pumps are important because they are how the water actually gets pumped outside and away from the home. There are several different ways to install sump pumps, but we find that the sump systems that we use are the best!

The first photo shows off the sump pump set-up that the homeowner had before our company had come out. While they were definitely ahead of the game by actually having a sump pump, there were still many things that needed to be improved upon. Having an open sump liner allows for moisture to escape and get back into the basement. 

The "after" photo shows our SuperSump pump system with our UltraSump Battery back-up. Our sump system includes an airtight lid with a WaterWatch Alarm, which helps to alert the homeowner if the pumps are not turning on or if there is water on top of the lid. This homeowner also decided to have an UltraSump installed, which provides a battery back-up in case of a power outage. They loved their new sump system and basement waterproofing! 

Our All-Dry of the Carolinas team was able to solve this problem by using a series of our watering proofing technology. Our crew installed a CleanSpace liner, sump pump, and dehumidifier. When encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace, it seals the area to keep moisture from creeping up from the ground and causing damage to your foundation.   A dehumidifier was placed in the crawlspace as a solution to the humidity that is produced from the pipes under your house. A SumpPump is to flush out entering water and excess water from the dehumidifier from the crawlspace. Together with all these tools, the crawlspace is completely protected from moisture.
