This basement was semi-finished with some rooms left bare for general storage, and others finished for a bedroom, craft room, and bathroom. Over the years, water began to come in through the foundation along the rim joist and the floorboards. It was a slow intrusion, but over time became water mold and an odd odor took hold of the space. To fix up the basement, we removed the damaged portions of the basement walls and flooring. A full parameter WaterGuard drainage system was installed to collect water and grade it to a TripleSafe sump pump. On the unfinished walls we installed CleanSpace panels, and the finished spaces we insulated with a ThermalDry radiant barrier. Our finishing crew came out afterwards to re-finish the livable spaces for the homeowners to enjoy once more.
This customer had a finished basement that was used for kids living space, but without the proper waterproofing system in place they started to get water seepage and leaks down in the kids’ bedrooms! This was destroying their stuff and leaving it an unsafe place to dwell in. Our team came out and put in a full WaterGuard system and put in our Thermaldry Wall system which will help reflect heat and make the room much warmer for the kids as well. The homeowners chose to finish the basement themselves so we set up the basement for them to finish over.
As you can see in the photos, encapsulating your crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier protects the structure of your home from mold and dampness.
The access to the crawlspace was very small and difficult to get in and out of, the cement barrier around it let water and debris pour in to the uncovered access hole. Cables and wires were exposed to the outside elements. The open space allowed cold air and animals to enter the crawlspace. Our install crew came and provided an easy way to get in and out of the crawlspace. The system installed will protect the crawlspace from taking on water and air, while giving it a pleasant look.
In these before & after photos, you can see what a difference the CleanSpace vapor barrier makes. Now, this crawl space is protected from moisture issues for years.
