All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

Crawlspaces are often not taken advantage of nearly as much as they should be. This crawlspace ended up being a trash dump for rocks, tubing, and just about anything else. Unfortnately a lot of crawlspaces look very similar to this one before it had CleanSpace installed. Crawlspaces are a huge part of your home and have great uses, like a ton of extra storage, but many people don't realize the potential for it. 

This homeowner was having issues with too much moisture in their crawlspace, which is why they initially had one of our System Design Specialist out to the home. However, once our crew came out to the home and rolled out the CleanSpace, the homeowner realized the potential that they had with this "new" crawlspace. While they were certainly excited that the moisture problem had been taken care of, they were also excited that they had a new area of the home to use!

This customer's crawlspace was showing signs of mold, caused by excessive moisture and humidity. After the homeowner reached out to All-Dry of the Carolinas, our crew was fully encapsulated it with the CleanSpace ecapsulation system.

The "before" picture shows just one of the sections of insulation that had mold on it, of course, caused by excessive moisture under the house.

The "after" picture shows a wide angle of the finished crawl space after the installation of the CleanSpace system, ensuring a low humidity and mold-free crawl space.

This homeowner had a lower level workshop/basement that had water coming through the walls. This water intrusion could have some very serious repercussions, especially having tools that could be affected by the moisture. Our Service Design Specialist knew that the best solution to this homeowner's problem was to install Waterguard and a sump pump.

The "before" picture shows the condition of the basement before our crew had gone in and installed any products. There is no water visible in this picture because the water was slowly seeping in through the wall, which can sometimes be more dangerous than a lot of water coming in because this way it is still causing damage while being pretty undetectable.

The "after" photo shows the same area, but with the Waterguard having been installed. This product catches any water that seeps through the block wall and drains it to the sump pump. This is a very low profile solution, but a very effective one.

This home in Franklin, NC had some major foundation issues on the back side of their home. There were several smaller cracks, but one huge one, which is shown in this before and after. These cracks were mainly due to foundation settlement and needed push piers in order to correct these cracks and for the home to have a sturdy foundation.

The "before" photo shows off shows this gap that was fixed using the push piers. As the tape measure shows, this gap was about an inch wide, which is pretty significant when referring to a crack in a home. This was already past the point of being an issue and needed to be taken care of sooner, rather than later.

The "after" photo shows how big of a difference the push piers that our crew installed, made. The gap was almost completely closed, and with a little mortar, the crack will completely disappear. These push piers do a great job in transforming a home and make it much safer for the homeowners to live in.

This homeowner was worried that part of their home wasn't being supported how it should be, unfortunately, they were right about that. When our Service Design Specialist Stuart went out to his home, he saw that the home's foundation was starting to crack under the pressure of the extended part of the home. The extra part was only held up by a few thick, wooden beams.

The "before" picture shows what the area looked like before our crew was able to get out to the home and do any work. While it is difficult to actually notice any sagging or other problems in this photo, there are a few places where the wooden posts can be seen through the lattice. While these posts may have worked for awhile, it was only a matter of time before the ground started to shift and these posts caused more problems than they solved.

The "after" photo shows the same area but with the five SmartJacks installed in order to support this part of the home. These SmartJacks were able to provide ample support to this overhanging part of the home. A large part of this job that isn't really seen at all is what we call "supplemental beam", which is basically an extra beam that gives the SmartJacks a connected area in order to disperse the weight evenly between all five SmartJacks.
