Hendersonville, NC's Number One Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Company

This basement in Hendersonville, NC was having water seep into it where the wall and the floor met. In the pictures that were taken during the free estimate by our design specialist, David Listovitch, you can see where the floor and bottom of the wall has water stains and dirt. This water was coming down the hill through the flower bed and against the exterior basement wall. The homeowners placed a fan in this section of the basement as an attempt to keep it dry to avoid high moisture levels and humidity.

            Our crew led by crew foreman Jose Najera, installed 62 units of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is equipped with an inspection port that allows the drainage system to be flushed and checked annually. Water was getting into the basement the worst under the stairs at the front of the house, since this was also the lowest point of the basement that is where our crew installed our SuperSump Pump. Our SuperSump pump is designed for the convenience of basements, with a bigger liner, airtight lid, and the WaterWatch Alarm System. The WaterWatch Alarm system alerts the homeowner if water reaches the top of the pump. The SuperSump flushes water from the basement through the drainage line and through the LawnScape outlet that is in the yard. Since this home is in Hendersonville, NC, which is a city that experiences freezing temperatures, IceGuard was added to the basement discharge line. This product is place at the top of the discharge line right outside of the home. In the case of an frozen water or snow clogging the line, water will back up and go out of the holes in the IceGuard, instead of backing up into the pump where it could flood the basement and damage the pump.

This homeowner in Hendersonville, NC reached out to us at All-Dry of the Carolinas to get a free estimate to get her crawl space encapsulated. We sent our design specialist David Listovitch out to the home where he told her the options of different crawl space waterproofing methods. This homeowner decided to go with CleanSpace which is our encapsulation liner to help control the moisture that was getting under her home. This home owner knew that moisture under the home could lead to foundation issues, floor problems, mold, and pest, so she took the proactive measures to have her home protected before something happen.

This home in Hendersonville, NC had moisture that was in their crawlspace. This moisture weakened the ground and foundation which caused the home to sink. When the home started to sink it caused cracks in the walls and bulging in the floors. To solve this problem our team installed twelve Push Piers that were placed against the footing of the foundation to push to home back into place.

This home in Hendersonville, NC had an existing sump pump that had stopped working to keep the water out. Water that was coming in through the floor was starting to build up once the pump has stopped working. Out All-Dry team installed a new SuperSump Pump and WaterGuard to stop the water issue in this basement.

This basement in Hendersonville, 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!

This Hendersonville, North Carolina homeowner was having water coming in through two places for a long time. It was creeping in through the walls and the garage door. This would happen during heavy rains and sometimes during the tiniest of showers. It didn’t matter. There would still be issues. Once the water would get in, of course, it would leave a complete mess. The floors would be left grimy and dark, and, naturally, the water would wash any dirt and debris right into any open space. It was not a particularly welcome sight. However, the same cannot be said about All-Dry of the Carolinas.

Our Design Specialist came out, inspected the entire basement, and discovered the root of the problem. Once he did that he was able to prescribe a few products to take care of it. In all, the home needed our SuperSump Plus sump pump, a Sedona dehumidifier, trench drain, and WaterGuard. All of these products work together to both remove the moisture from the air and direct the collected water away.

Crawlspaces sometimes seem like more trouble than they are worth. Many homeowners may never have a problem with their crawlspace, but the ones that do can easily be stressed out by the issues stemming from water or moisture in their crawlspace. Some homeowners wait to address the issues, while others take care of it as soon as they find out about the water intrusion or high humidity levels. 

This homeowner found out about the high humidity levels in the crawlspace after it had been happening for a while. However, once they found out, they began to search for someone who could help them out. During the search, the homeowner was actually told about All-Dry of the Carolinas, so they gave us a call to have one of our System Design Specialists out to the home. He was able to get out to the home and inspect the entire area and figure out what would be best to solve the issues in the basement and crawlspace. The system that our Specialist suggested included; vent covers, a condensate pump, CleanSpace, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. 

The next step in the process was to have the crew come out to the home and get to work installing the system. The first thing that the crew needed to do was to remove the damp insulation, which helps to prevent mold from growing and spreading. After that the crew began working on installing the CleanSpace. the CleanSpace took the most time to install, especially in the lower areas of the crawlspace. After that was done, the last thing the crew had to put in was the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a condensate pump. This was an important part of the installation because the dehumidifier helps to remove excess moisture from the crawlspace and the condensate pump makes sure to pump that water out of the dehumidifier outside. 

This project started off just like almost every other one, a homeowner called because of water intrusion in their basement. We set up for one of our System Design Specialists to visit the home and see exactly what we could do to prevent this home from being damaged by water intrusion. However, during this visit, the Specialist noticed that there was also some foundation issues in the early stages. He drew up a quote that included the solution to both the water intrusion issues and the informed the owner about the foundation issues.

The homeowner decided to go ahead and get both the foundation issues and water intrusion taken care of. Our Specialist stressed the importance of taking care of the foundation issues before they got even worse. In order to solve both of these issues, our Specialist had figured out the best solution, which consisted of installing CarbonArmor Strips, WaterGuard drain, and CleanSpace Liner, as well as some other minor products.

This job wasn't too much different than many others, all the crew had to do was to install the CarbonArmor first, and made sure they were dry and secure before installing the other products.  After the CarbonArmor was installed, then came the WaterGuard and CleanSpace. The WaterGuard is installed in the floor around the perimeter of the basement in order to catch the water and drain it to the sump pump. The CleanSpace was laid over the wall (and CarbonArmor strips) in order to catch any and all water that would come through the basement wall and drain it down to the WaterGuard.

Having to deal with one problem is tough, but having to deal with two major issues affecting your home is even worse. Unfortunately that was the case for this Hendersonville homeowner. They initially called in order to get an estimate on waterproofing work for their basement. However, during the inspection, our Systems Design Specialist, Mike Lee, noticed that their walls had began to bow inwards.

This called for a foundation solution, which happened to be a PowerBrace system in this case. These are Zinc coated steel beams that are installed along the wall, in order to support and potentially correct the wall over time. Mike Lee, also suggested that the homeowner have WaterGuard drain and a SuperSump system installed for the water that was leaking into the basement.

The crew began with excavating the floor by the walls, for both the WaterGuard and the PowerBraces, as well as a hole for the SuperSump that was going to be installed. The PowerBraces were installed first, installing the anchors at the bottom and top (which you can partially see in the second photo). The crew then installed the CleanSpace liner along the wall, to help water drain to the WaterGuard. Once this was done, the PowerBrace beam was installed, fastened to the top and bottom anchors, and then tightened. 

After the PowerBrace system was completely installed, the SuperSump system was installed in the hole that was dug previously. Then the WaterGuard was installed along the wall to catch the water before it made its way into the basement. Once the WaterGuard was completely installed, new concrete was mixed and poured over the areas that were dug out. This makes it seem like no work was actually done, helping us leave as small as a footprint as possible.

This homeowner had issues with water coming into his crawlspace long before they decided to give us a call. The owner had even got another crawlspace liner installed in his crawlspace. This was one of the nicer liners that we have seen in a crawlspace, but it still was not able to keep the water from getting into the crawlspace. We sent a Systems Design Specialist out to the home to figure out the best solution.

When our Specialist went to this home, he noticed a few things. One was the amount of water in the crawlspace, it wasn't overwhelming, but it was certainly there. He also noticed the mold that was in the crawlspace. This meant that the crawlspace was going to need a "MoldX bath", as well as a CleanSpace encapsulation. The homeowner also got a SmartSump pump system and a dehumidifier to help out with their issue!

The first two things that were installed in this crawlspace were the 3-inch drain tile, and the SmartSump pump, which were both installed after the area had been dug out for each of them. The drain tile is a hard plastic pipe that runs around the perimeter of the crawlspace and helps to drain the water to the sump pump. After those were put in, the MoldX was applied to the floor joists. Once this was done, the crew began to install the CleanSpace, which is one of the main pieces of the job. The installed CleanSpace can be seen in the last few pictures. We also installed a dehumidifier, which helps to keep the relative humidity of the crawlspace down.
