Otto, NC Basement Waterproofing & Crawl Space Repair Company

This home in Otto, North Carolina had some pretty serious foundation issues in their basement, mainly the basement walls bowing inwards. This bowing was bad enough, that our Service Design Specialist noticed it from outside the home. In the first picture, our specialist is able to stick his figure under a ledge caused by the bowing walls.

While serious, this issue was something that our company and crews had dealt with many times before. Our specialist knew that a few wall anchors would be more than enough to whip this wall into shape! So our crew got to work on installing the wall anchors. The last three pictures are great action shots and should be cherished because it isn't often that we get shots of the crew working, only what they've accomplished.

Although these pictures aren't in order, they are all vital parts of wall anchor installation. The second picture shows one of our crew members tightening the wall anchor bolt. This helps to keep the wall anchor tight to the wall to prevent any further bowing. The third picture shows the crew actually drilling the hole for the rod that connects the wall anchors. The final picture shows off our crew member doing a little extra cleaning. All of our crews do their very best to leave a customer's home in BETTER condition than we found it in.

We hope that this helps you understand how wall anchors work, just a little better. As the saying says, "a picture is worth a thousand words"! If you have any foundation issues like this home, or crawlspace or basement problems, call us today!

This mountain home in Otto, North Carolina needed some work done in its crawlspace, mainly the installation of our CleanSpace Liner. While there was some water intrusion into this home, it seemed that this customer wanted peace of mind more than anything. Since he would not be in the house all the time, he wanted to make sure he was protected even when he was not home.

In order to provide him with the best option and protection for the home, we installed a CleanSpace Liner, SantaFe Edge II Dehumidifier, and SuperSump sump pump. These three products together are a great defense against moisture and mold. While they are all very important products, CleanSpace definitely takes the cake. This is because of the protection provides and the redundancy it takes out of the other two products. CleanSpace is great by itself, but more than likely moisture will find its way into the crawlspace through tiny cracks and holes around pipes, wires, and anything else. More than likely, water will find its way under the CleanSpace, whether that be from the ground or from outside the home.

Since it is difficult to overcome nature, we install these other products. We install the SantaFe dehumidifier so that any moisture that does get into the crawlspace, is taken out of the air and sent to the sump pump. We have sump pumps in the crawl space so that the water that comes up from the ground and any that make it through the walls get pumped out. While the standing water may not cause problems in the crawlspace, it could still produce odors and have other effects under the CleanSpace.

We're glad to have helped this Otto resident and hope that anyone seeking basement, crawl space, or foundation repair will give us a call!
