Stacy owned a home in Bellevue, Kentucky, that was built in 1906. The old home had a stone foundation that leaked. Having used The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati previously, she called us and scheduled an estimate. Other companies say that stone foundations can't be waterproofed. Our foreman David however, was able to waterproof this 120-year old basement with no problems!
This home had a musty smell and bugs coming up from the crawlspace. We fixed these problems by encapsulating it with CleanSpace matting. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels as well.
A nasty crawlspace formed by dirt, moisture, and bugs can lead to poor living conditions for the inhabitants living above the crawlspace. In order to encapsulate and reduce the risk of the crawlspace flooding we installed a lot. First we installed a vapor barrier by placing CleanSpace and drainage matting over the walls and floors. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a SmartPump sump pump on one side of the large crawlspace, and a UltraSump 4 sump pump on the other side. We topped it off with SilverGlo insulation panels, which will help save big money on energy bills.
This crawl space was exposed to the open earth resulting in issues like wood rot, moldy air, and poor insulation. We fixed these problems by encapsulating the crawl space and installing a SmartSump sump pump.
This customer was unsatisfied with their crawl space leaking out air that they were paying to control, and they were unsatisfied with how mold was growing in their crawl space. After calling for an inspection and reading up on our science, they realized they needed our help. After replacing the wood which was beginning to rot, we began to lay down our CleanSpace liner which completely isolates the house from the earth. Next, we seal the vents that insures we keep the outside air out and the inside air in. Lasty, we install our SaniDry dehumidifier system to make sure the air stays dry, and then we insulate the floor and walls of the crawlspace to save money on energy.
