We were called out to assess the crawl space in this Wilmington, DE home. The customer had concerns that the floors above were sagging and uneven and needed our help. We came out to the property and installed 7 Smart Jacks and 4 Galvanized Steel Support Beams.
This was a previous customer of ours, we had just finished up with waterproofing their basement and they asked us to finish it as well. Included in that finish the customer requested an Egress window install as an emergency exit.
We installed a 27 x 45 In-Swing Egress with a metal well and plastic cover. Not only will this new egress add a safe exit in case of an emergency but will also add a lot of natural lighting in the basement.
This homeowner had a dirt crawl space that was bringing moisture up into the home. We installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system with the CleanSpace drainage matting that lays under the CleanSpace liner. Our CleanSpace liner prevents ground moisture or any type of gases going into the crawl space. By using the encapsulating system the owner of the home will notice the change of having a damp, moldy crawl space to a clean, dry space.
At this property, the owner had a number of sump systems throughout the basement and was still getting water into the home during heavy rain. We removed the old pump in the corner of the basement and installed our SuperSump pump system with Zoeller M53 iron pump. This install comes with a liner and an airtight lid that has a WaterWatch alarm system, which will let the homeowner know if the water level has risen too high. This system's feature is designed to have top performance and includes the best components.
In this Wilmington basement, the walls had water seeping into the corner of the home, which started to build up and create mold in the area. We went out to the property to assess the area and installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that will reduce the moisture and capture the wall leaks seeping in. This durable 7-layer polyethylene reinforced composition keeps humidity down which will make your basement free of mold, mildew and even seals out cold drafts during the colder months.
