All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

                This basement in Weaverville, NC was having water issues. Water would seep down the walls from ground level and puddle on the floors. These home owners did the right thing by calling All-Dry of the Carolinas. Our All-Dry crew was able to tackle this issue with three of our most used products: WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and the TripleSafe Pump.

In the “before” picture you see the corner of the basement before our All-Dry team started installing the WaterGuard and TripleSafe Pump. In the “after” picture you are able to see where the WaterGuard has been placed around the perimeter of the basement.

This homeowner was in need of some protection for his basement and basement walls. Luckily for him, this was a problem that we could easily help him with. He was having some slight water intrusion in their partially finished basement. This was about to cause some serious issues, so they decided to call us and see exactly what we could and would do for them!

The "before" picture shows what the area looked like before our crew installed the CleanSpace liner and wall, as well as the SaniDry dehumidifier. As you can see, the room itself is very dark and dirty looking. You can also see how the area is hastily covered with another, less effective basement/crawlspace liner. This allows water, insects, or anything else to easily pass through the liner.

The "after" photo shows a much different story. You can see that the entire room is covered in either CleanSpace liner or our CleanSpace Wall. This basement is more than safe and sound now! Not only did this homeowner have this whole room encapsulated, but they also had a SaniDry dehumidifier installed. This helps to remove any moisture from the air and pump it outside the home.

This homeowner was worried about the area under their home because it had a strange smell and seemed wetter in this area. It was a problem that they had been experiencing for awhile, but finally decided to give us a call when they learned about the problems that could come along with the high humidity level. Our System Design Specialist was able to head out to the home and figure out exactly what to do to solve the problems they were having.

The "before" photo shows the area that the homeowner was worried about. As you can see, someone had laid out some plastic over the the dirt to try to keep the moisture in, but because nothing was sealed, the plastic did not do much to keep the moisture in. Another big issue that can be seen in the picture is the open vents at the top of the wall. Open vents allow outside air into the crawlspace, which is not something we want, especially with an encapsulation.

The "after" photo shows a much different place than before, it looks completely different! Our crew installed CleanSpace Liner that covered the entire area, covering all of the floor and the majority of the walls of the crawlspace. Every part of the CleanSpace is sealed up along the walls, which prevents water and moisture from getting through. We also installed a dehumidifier to make sure that the humidity level stays lower than 55%, so that mold in not able to grow. 

When water comes into your crawlspace there are several different ways to remove the water. In this crawlspace in Anderson, SC, water was flooding in during heavy rains.  In the “before” picture you see a bare crawlspace with a trench dug around the perimeter. This trench was made to fit in our 3 inch drain tile. This draining system is three inches in diameter and is placed under the soil. Whenever water tries to enter the crawlspace again, the water will enter the draining system and be guided to the SmartSump pump to be flushed from the crawlspace. The “after” picture shows the draining system anchored down by rocks and leading to the SmartSump.

Unfortunately, there are many basements that are plagued with water intrusion. There are a number of different ways that this water may be getting into the basement, but we know of one surefire way of keeping it out! Our systems have been installed in thousands of homes and these homeowners have been pleased at the results! While we hate that many homes are dealing with these issues, we are glad that we can provide a solution to them!

This homeowner was having some serious water intrusion in their basement, enough that some of the wood making up the stairs was beginning to deteriorate. The homeowner called knowing that this could certainly be a serious issue. Our System Design Specialist was able to diagnose the problems that were going on in the basement, and provide the perfect solution for the home.

The after picture gives a great view of some of the work that was done in the basement of this Anderson, SC home. The two biggest things were the installation of the CleanSpace liner and the WaterGuard, which cannot be seen well in this photo. The CleanSpace was installed along the walls of the basement in order to help catch and bring the water to the WaterGuard that was installed. WaterGuard is a drain that was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor in order to catch any and all water that was coming through.
