Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Fountain Inn, SC Has Crawlspace Renewed and Relieved of All Moisture Issues

Homes are a lot like people. Honestly, they’re basically the biggest member of your family. Sometimes they need a little work. Sometimes, they don’t always behave the way you want them to, or even look the way you had dreamed. Regardless, this home is yours and you love it. Nothing can change that fact. However, it’s always a good idea to take steps to make sure that your home is secured so it can last every bit as long as you do. That is what this Fountain Inn, South Carolina resident wanted to do when they decided to get their crawlspace waterproofed. Because they were having problems, they started with a quote from Terminix. The professionals there told them that they needed to reach out to a basement and crawlspace water proofer, so their issues won’t persist. After a lengthy search on the internet, they found us: All-Dry of the Carolinas. We were able to set them up with a free estimate with one of Design Specialists. He went out to the home and looked through it, top to bottom. He took pictures as he went through the entire crawlspace and, once he was finished, he set the homeowner down and explained their next steps. To solve the home’s water issues, they needed to install CleanSpace, Drain matting, seal the vents, and install a Sedona dehumidifier. The total install only took a few days to complete. We were in and out in a flash. I know the homeowners were happy the process went so smoothly, so they were able to get back to their home, new and improved.

Crawlspace In Disrepair

Many crawlspaces often look just like this one. It looks worn and not lived it. It makes sense. However, just because you don't live in the space it doesn't mean that you can't take care of it.

The Ill-Suited Liner

This is the way the liner acts when it isn't properly sealed. It doesn't completely cover the dirt crawlspace and leaves your home open to the moisture vapor that rises from the dirt.

No True Barrier

From this photo, it's plain to see that this liner is thin. It's so thin that it has ripped and torn in places. With rips and tears, its not acting as a true barrier at all.

Termites Love Damp Wood

When this homeowner contacted us originally, they reported having moisture issues in the wood. That is why they had Terminix come out as well. If not properly dried, the wood will become a hunting ground for termites and other pesky bugs.

Open Sump Hole

This is the original sump pump the family had. Open sump holes like this one are useless in stopping water vapor from rising from the ground.

CleanSpace

This is the crawlspace after we've installed the CleanSpace. It looks brand new, doesn't it?

Safety in Thickness

This CleanSpace install honestly makes it safer for any equipment or wires to be housed in the crawlspace. With our thick, reinforced liner, there is no risk of any stray rock piercing the liner and damaging any wires you may have.

Begone Mold and Bacteria!

Our CleanSpace has an antimicrobial agent called UltraFresh right in the plastic, which prevents mold and bacteria growth.

CleanSpace May be Used for Storage

One added benefit of using CleanSpace, which may surprise a lot of people, is that you can use your crawlspace for storage after the CleanSpace has been installed. In fact, It was manufactured specifically for this purpose.
