Crawl Space Repair & Basement Waterproofing Company in Highlands, NC

While water intrusion issues in crawlspaces and basements can be extremely frustrating and sometimes harmful to a person's health, foundation issues are on a whole other level of safety. While it may take a long time for a foundation issue to really do serious damage to a home, if this damage is done, it can ruin whole parts of a home. Walls collapsing and foundation issues can cost an enormous amount of money to get repaired, so taking care of them early is certainly the way to go.

This homeowner probably should have called sooner than he did, but he still caught the problem before it got too bad. This was a more unique case because of the location of the crack, which was right on the edge of the home's foundation, that was also connected to a retaining wall. Since this was the case, our System Design Specialist suggested having wall anchors installed all along the retaining wall, as well as a few installed on the foundation wall of the house under the garage.

The first photo shows off one of the major cracks that was the homeowner's concern when he first contacted us, this crack can also be seen in the second picture. The cracking was mainly caused by the retaining wall being pushed out by the driveway. In order to correct this, the wall anchors were installed and tightened to slowly pull the wall back to its original position. This is done by digging holes on the other (driveway) side of the wall and placing an anchor plate in it. A long rod is them put through the wall and ground until it can be connected to the plate. After this is done for all of the anchors, they are tightened.

The owner of this home started to notice a strange smell coming from their crawlspace, and when it was not going away, they decided to give the experts a call. One of our Systems Design Specialists went out to this home to inspect the crawlspace, and come up with a solution to solve the homeowner's problems. Our Specialists go through a lot of training to prepare them for every problem or scenario that they may run into, so this Specialist knew exactly what to do!

This was a relatively simple solution in order to encapsulate the are and provide a safe and healthy crawlspace for the owners of the home. The first couple pictures show what the crawlspace looked like before our crew got to the house to install the CleanSpace liner. While there are no obvious areas of water or water intrusion. There are a few areas where you can see mud, mostly around the perimeter of the crawlspace in the first two pictures. This is partially where the strange smell was coming from.

The final two pictures show what the crawlspace looks like after our crew installed the CleanSpace liner, as well as a dehumidifier. The CleanSpace under this home completely sealed the floor and walls, so that no water vapor could get into the crawlspace. While the dehumidifier is not in any of the pictures, it was installed and is there in order to keep the humidity level of the crawlspace at a level that doesn't allow for mold or mildew growth.
