All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

This basement in Lexington, SC was taking on water. Our All-Dry of the Carolinas team installed at 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 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!

Anything below grade is susceptible to water intrusion in some form. There are several different ways for water to get into a crawlspace or basement, but many times it is mainly caused by hydrostatic pressure pressing against the foundation walls. This is the common cause especially when a home has consistent and continuous water intrusion, however, this can get even worse with heavy rains. 

This was the case for this homeowner in Lexington, South Carolina. They had pretty consistent water intrusion through the bottom of the basement walls, but when it would rain heavily the homeowner would really start to notice the water coming in. The homeowner knew that they couldn't just continue to let this happen, so they began to do a little research and found us! 

The system that our crew installed in the basement made a huge difference with the water intrusion the home was having. The homeowners no longer had to worry about water getting into the basement with the installation of the CleanSpace and WaterGuard. The CleanSpace is the liner that can be seen on the walls around the basement and helps to catch any water or moisture coming through the basement walls. The WaterGuard can't actually be seen, but is in the floor around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard catches the water that the CleanSpace drains down and then takes it to the sump pump that was installed in the lowest part of the basement, where it is then pumped out.

This basement in Batesburg, SC was having water issues. Water would seep down the walls from ground level and puddle on the floors. These home owners did the right thing by calling All-Dry of the Carolinas. Our All-Dry crew was able to tackle this issue with three of our most used products: WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and the SuperSump Pump.

There are many reasons why homeowners call All-Dry of the Carolinas to come to take a look at their home. It ranges from people who have noticed potential issues starting to arise to homeowners who have had problems for 15 years without ever addressing the problem and everyone in between! Fortunately, we have a solution for just about everyone that we visit, no matter what shape their basement or crawlspace may be in.

This homeowner actually had not noticed any major issues with their crawlspace, but was interested in having their crawlspace encapsulated for the many benefits it provides. The only thing they had ever noticed was a slight musty smell in the crawlspace. Through some online research they found our site and the information about the benefits of encapsulation. 

We had one of our System Design Specialists go out to the home and see what we could do for this homeowner. After checking everything out, he agreed that there wasn't too much to be worried about as far as water in the crawlspace. This led to the Specialist suggesting the homeowner go with a simple CleanSpace encapsulation with a dehumidifier. Our crew came out just a few days later to install this whole system. The homeowner was extremely happy with their new, healthier crawlspace.
