The water seepage in this basement posed a unique problem because of its finished walls. In a few places we had to strip sheetrock back to install the interior drainage. The room housing the water filter and other utilities was particularly prone to high humidity and made it a perfect place to install the sump pump and SaniDry dehumidifier.
Our Triplesafe sump pump system, paired with an Ultra Sump and battery backup, ensures continuous operation even during power outages, providing reliable water removal from the crawl space. The Starpipe drainage system efficiently channels water away, preventing accumulation and maintaining a dry environment.
The SilverGlo Thermal Insulation panels were installed on the walls in the crawl space to enhance energy efficiency and maintain a consistent temperature. These panels provide superior insulation, reducing heat loss and preventing drafts, which helps in creating a more energy-efficient and comfortable living environment above the crawl space. Additionally, SilverGlo panels are designed to resist moisture and mold, making them ideal for crawl spaces where dampness can be an issue.
The Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to eliminate moisture in the crawl space because it is specifically designed to maintain optimal humidity levels, prevent mold growth, and improve air quality. Its efficient operation ensures the space remains dry, protecting the structural integrity of the home and reducing the risk of allergens and odors associated with excess moisture.
This Vilas, NC basement was showing classic signs of moisture intrusion dark water stains on the concrete block, efflorescence, and musty odors. Over time, these symptoms can lead to mold growth, weakened structure, and poor indoor air quality.
Our team stepped in with a full waterproofing solution. The walls were sealed with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, designed to lock out moisture and prevent further seepage. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity levels under control and ensure the space stays dry year-round.
Now, this homeowner has a clean, bright, and dry basement they can finally use with confidence no more damp smells or water worries, just lasting peace of mind.
