High humidity in the crawl space led to moisture accumulation, which caused the floor joists to become damp and weakened. This weakened state made the joists susceptible to rot and structural damage. To address this, our team carefully repaired the joists by sistering them, which involves attaching new, healthy wood alongside the damaged joists to reinforce and restore their strength.
Water intrusion was a problem for this customer due to a poorly sealed crawl space. We completely encapsulated the crawl space, making sure it was completely sealed. This will prevent leaks from occurring in the future. During this process, a SmartSump crawl space sump pump system was installed. If there is a leak in a pipe or water enters the crawl space, the sump system will remove it.
Water was leaking into the customer's basement through the block wall due to hydrostatic pressure pushing water through cracks and pores in the foundation. To address this, we installed our WaterGuard drainage system, which captures water at the perimeter of the basement floor and directs it to a sump pump, preventing further water intrusion. This system ensures the basement stays dry by effectively managing water seepage and maintaining a waterproof barrier.
SilverGlo Thermal Insulation Panels were installed throughout the walls of this customers crawl space to prevent moisture from seeping through while regulating the temperature of the space at healthy levels. In the before photos, you'll notice moisture seeped in and soaked into the structure. SilverGlo will prevent this from happening any further.
Chris contacted Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair interested in brightening up a spooky small basement at his home in Fayetteville, NC.
Our crew installed the ThermalDry Basement Flooring within this small basement. The benefits are fantastic with the ThermalDry Carpeting Tiles. The unique floor tiles are designed to hold up during flooding, including the types that happen during groundwater flooding or plumbing failure. The other benefits are that they are fast and easy to install, stain resistant, a plastic base material that will not support mold and mildew growth, they will not warp, bow or delaminate like wood products, and they come in a variety of colors and styles including subfloor tiles, carpeting, and vinyl- faced tiles.
Chris is thrilled with the look, style, and affordability of the ThermalDry Basement Flooring that Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair installed.
