Before & After Photos

At this Nottingham home, the owner started to get a strong musty smell coming from the basement, but had no sign of water intrusion or mold. In order to eliminate the muggy feeling, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is designed to relieve allergens and high humidity. By getting this installed the relative humidity will lower significantly, which will affect the upstairs and will no longer have the muggy, wet smell.

In this partially finished basement in Nottingham, MD, the existing pump was no longer pumping out the amount of water it was taking in. We removed and hauled away the old carpet in order to install our SuperSump system that connects to the WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system. Alongside the foundation walls, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that will capture any moisture leaking into the home and have it flow down into the floor drain. By installing this system, the partially finished basement will remain dry and in case of a power outage or circuit shorts, the backup battery will kick in, keeping the system flowing. 

Current customer was looking for help updating their partially finished basement, no plans for use in mind, just wanted it to be up to date. We said, No problem, you came to the right place.

To bring this basement up to date, we covered the block foundation walls with paneling the customer already had going throughout the basement, we installed a brand new linen drop ceiling and Lifeproof flooring.
