A homeowner in Severna Park, MD reached out to us regarding repairs for their damp crawl space, which was experiencing moisture and humidity issues. This condition can arise from external elements infiltrating the crawl space, leading to problems such as wood rot, elevated energy costs, and potential mold growth. To address this concern proactively, we dispatched our System Design Specialist to conduct an inspection. He recommended the installation of an encapsulation system to effectively isolate the crawl space from the external environment. Our foreman, Bernie, successfully installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, ensuring the crawl space remains dry and healthy. Since the installation, the homeowner has reported no further issues with their crawl space.
All the walls had to be removed in this basement because they had mold and water damage. We made repairs to the foundation wall using carbon fiber straps and installed a waterproofing system including the WaterGuard drainage system and a TripleSafe sump pump. Next we replaced the old drywall with waterproof wall panels which are covered by a 50-year warranty against water and mold damage. We also installed our ThermalDry Flooring system designed specifically for cold basement floors. The basement was transformed and the homeowners were happy!
The basement in this Parkville, MD home had drywall damaged by water and mold growth. To begin, we removed the old drywall and repaired the foundation walls using carbon fiber wall straps. Then we installed the WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump to help prevent future water problems. We then installed Total Basement Finishing waterproof wall panels which are covered by a 50-year warranty against water and mold damage. Much better than drywall! We also finished the basement floors with ThermalDry flooring, which is designed specifically for basement conditions. Now the basement is dry AND comfortable!
At this property in Parkville, MD, the laundry room area of the basement collects a lot of water seepage from heavy rain and also in the winter after snow melts. After evaluating the water problem, we installed the below-grade WaterGuard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. This system provides a permanent solution to help prevent basement flooding and also collects water from wall leaks that will be redirected into the below-grade drain.
At this home the owners were experiencing water coming in through the basement door and the walls on the inside of the home were starting to deteriorate due to the water damage. Our team jackhammered along the outside of the doorway to install our TrenchDrain that is a grated drain which sits flush to the door and prevents doorway flooding. The drain is integrated with the drainage system that connects into the sump pump system that will safely pump out any water that comes down into the stairwell.
