Before & After Photos

This basement had quite a few issues, with the main one being mold. The major issue was water entering the space, mainly through wall cracks. In a small area, a little water feels like a really big issue and a large amount of water means real trouble. The homeowners knew their basement had issues, and finally, enough was enough. They gave Healthy Spaces a call and Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came out to the home and did a thorough inspection. 

A WaterGuard system would be installed around the perimeter of the basement to catch water and take it directly to the new TripleSafe sump pump. From there, the water would then be taken outside and released throughout the LawnScape outlet. The homeowners also decided to add IceGuard on to this in case the line would ever freeze, the water would still be able to come out of the basement. 

For the appearance factor of their new, dry basement, CleanSpace was placed on all of the walls. CleanSpace wall coverings provide an economical mold and mildew resistant layer to brighten up the space, and new expertly installed egress windows allow more light in and provide an emergency escape in the event of a fire. New double pane EverLast basement windows were also installed in the basement. These windows won't ever rot, rust, or even need paint. These windows won't ever ruin your finished basement from water running in. 

This old and outdated basement in Providence, KY had so much potential. Aside from installing a complete waterproofing system, this homeowner opted to upgrade their basement windows as well. The purpose of basement windows is to add appeal to your space by bringing in natural sunlight. If those windows are rusted, covered in debris, or doing little more than affording a view of an old, rusty window well, then they're not doing their job

Our EverLast Windows are made specifically for the basement environment with vinyl, which will hold up for the lifetime of your basement. They're energy-efficient, designed with double-paned, low-E glass, they are much more energy efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard.

Homeowner Chris S. had reoccurring water problems in his basement, but couldn't figure out why. He had a sump pump to get the water out, but it wasn't doing its job. He tried every solution he thought was possible, but every time it rained he found himself worrying about his basement. In the before photo, you can see that his sump pump didn't have a lid. It is very important to have an airtight sump lid to prevent water from evaporating into your basement. A lid is also important to stop stuff from falling into the sump and clogging it.

For this homeowner, our design specialist installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump system to keep the basement dry. This sump pump includes an airtight lid, a floor drain, a pump stand, and a pump alarm. The alarm lets homeowners know if their pump has failed and they're in danger of being flooded. The water that enters through the sump pump will then be discharged through 2 lines from the basement and away from the home. 

In Dawson Springs KY, a basement had water entering in and creating a possible hazard for the family living there. Due to the water and humidity in the basement, mold was starting to spread on the bottom half of the basement walls. If mold is not taken care of, it can affect someone with asthma and other health problems.

To control the water to pump out of the basement rather than in, a sump pump is installed. A water guard is put on the ground on the sides of the walls to allow water that entered the floor to flow toward the sump pump. CleanSpace is arranged on the sides of the basement walls. CleanSpace is a tear-resistant, bright white liner that prevents mold growth on the surface. CleanSpace blocks water vapor from entering the atmosphere and creating mold spores. The basement now has a clean and fresh atmosphere that the family loves!

Homeowner Larry D from Patoka, IN. struggled with the musty odors in his home. Every time he would walk in the front door, the smell would hit him out of nowhere. He decided to go straight to the source- his crawl space. He hadn't been down there for years, and he suddenly remembered why. There was water sitting at the bottom, and mold growth everywhere. He decided to turn the issue over to someone he knew could handle it, so he gave Healthy Spaces a call.

Design Specialist, Chris Russell, came out to inspect Larry's crawl space. After he was finished, they sat down together to discuss the plan of action. This crawl space majorly needed a mold remediation treatment. Any time there are damp, humid conditions in your basement or crawl space, there is potential for mold growth. Our remediation process includes removing all mold-damaged materials, drying out the basement or crawl space, and thoroughly cleaning all surfaces. We use safe, effective cleaning products, and all of our technicians are trained and certified in professional mold remediation techniques that won't spread the mold in your home.
