This customer was experiencing sagging floors on the first level in her home. Upon inspection, we realized the structural support was deteriorating. We used SmartJacks, our crawl space high-capacity steel pier to stabilize and support the home beneath the crawl space.
This homeowner was noticing that their unburied discharge pipe was quickly wearing down and was also a tripping hazard. To fix this, we were able to find a convenient place to bury it under the sidewalk and in the yard while still ensuring the water was carried far enough from the home so it doesn't damage the foundation.
This owner had a problem with a settled slab in their back patio. It not only looked bad but it was also easy to trip over. Since they loved spending time in this peaceful space, it was important to them to fix the issue and make it functional again.
To solve the problem, we used a solution called PolyLevel. It lifted and leveled the concrete by filling in the empty spaces underneath the slabs. These empty spaces were causing the shifting and cracking. After applying PolyLevel, we sealed the concrete with a product called NexusPro. This made the concrete more durable and helped prevent similar issues in the future. The owner was really happy with the result. They can now enjoy their backyard without worrying about the uneven slab.
Louis closed on his new house in September 2021 and wanted to address the issue of excessive moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space. Excess moisture can lead to a host of problems, including mold growth, musty odors, and potential damage to the structural integrity of the house. To tackle this issue and create a more comfortable living space for Louis, we implemented a comprehensive moisture control system.
The first step involved installing CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that acts as a moisture barrier between the ground and the crawl space. This effective barrier prevents moisture from entering the crawl space, thus reducing the humidity levels. To further enhance the moisture control, we incorporated a drainage mat, which allows any water accumulation to be channeled away effectively.
Because of the impact of open vents on moisture infiltration, we proceeded to block off the vents, preventing outside air and humidity from entering the crawl space. This step was crucial in maintaining a controlled environment and preventing excess moisture buildup.
To efficiently manage any potential water intrusion, we installed a SmartDrain, a smart sump pump system designed to detect and pump out any excess water that may enter the crawl space. This added layer of protection ensured that Louis' crawl space remained dry and free from water-related issues.
Lastly, we implemented a Sedona dehumidifier, specifically designed for crawl spaces. The Sedona effectively regulates humidity levels, removing excess moisture from the air and creating a healthier environment.
Martin F. was looking for a proactive approach to removing water from his basement and wanting to protect his home from future humidity and mold concerns. During an annual maintenance call, he was able to address his concerns.
Service Technician Brandon Roast found the sump pump was starting to fail in the basement. This left Martin at a higher risk of water damage and high humidity in the basement. Brandon was able to install a new sump pump and a Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier to give Martin’s home a proactive solution to prevent water damage from occurring. Martin was happy that we were able to provide him with a same day solution.
