There are several different types of cracks that can occur with foundation problems like settlement. Sometimes these cracks are separation cracks (like a chimney separating from the home or around a door or window, drywall cracks, but the most common type of cracking is stair-step cracking. This cracking often starts at the corner of a door or window and looks like stairs from the side. 

One of the cracks that had appeared on the outside of this home was following a stair-step pattern. They are more common on cinder block or brick walls, because the mortar breaks easier than the bricks and takes the path of least resistance. However, this crack seemed to take a pattern similar to this. The crack started around the window and slowly made its way up and up to the top of the wall.

The difference between the before and after pictures may not seem too significant, but a lot has been done between the two photos. The biggest thing that was done was the crew installing several push piers in order to lift and stabilize the foundation. The push piers help to raise the foundation back towards its original position. After the lifting has been done, the crew mixed up some new mortar and covered the crack. A little bit of paint and the area will look as good as new!

Pictured as the “before” is the crawlspace before All-Dry of the Carolina began the process of moisture proofing it. It has all the tells of a bad, humid situation. Insulation is hanging on to the ceiling by a thread. The plastic liner they have is saturated with water and dirt. The air itself smells horrible and is not fit for man or beast.

Meanwhile, the Clemson, South Carolina is given a new lease on life in the “after” photo. This is only part two of a staged process. Here, the old liner has been removed. Along the walls, we’ve installed the first wave of our patented, 20 mils thick CleanSpace liner. Across the dirt floor, drainage matting has been fitted and installed. The purpose of this dimpled material is to guide the water towards the sump pump. The following stage is to place CleanSpace on top of this material.

The final stage should give this crawlspace a total encapsulation.

Nothing is worse than losing your stomach as you begin to freefall. We expect the ground that we are standing on to be strong and durable. So imagine how homeowners feel when their house begins to fall out from under them. After time, homes begin to settle and mold to the earth under them. Depending on how sturdy the earth is, determines how a home will settle. Homes that are on hills are very likely to mold to the natural layout of the land. But don’t worry! We at All-Dry of the Carolinas are here for you to lean on when you aren’t strong.

As you can see in the before picture, the crawlspace wall has cracked from the pressure of the house. To solve this problem our team at All-Dry of the Carolinas were able to install Push Piers, which is a support system. The crack in the wall is then forced back together, although in some cases the cracks don’t close completely. That is not something to worry about, the Push Piers will continue to support the structure and prevent further damage. In the after picture you can see the Push Piers holding the wall along with cement that has been used to seal the rest of the crack.

Job Stories From Clemson, SC
Clemson, SC Crawlspace In Desperate Need Finds a Solution

We should all be aware of the effects a crawlspace can have on a home. Even crawlspaces built according to Building Code can have an adverse effect on the homes above them. Many homes in the past and present have received the “okay,” but still suffer from moisture problems. These homes will continue to suffer as long as dirt floors are allowed in crawlspaces. There’s no other way around it. It’s large issue that tends to reach into small homes. That’s, honestly, one of the reasons this home is suffering now. That dirt floor, despite the thin liner, contributes to most of the moisture in the space.

This particular home in Clemson, South Carolina is up to its ears in moisture. The vents allow outside air inside to further disrupt the moisture inside the space. The trouble does not end there. The walls steadily allow in water from the outside. Once the water floods in, it has nowhere to escape. It either rests in the dirt (or on top of the liner) or evaporates into the air, adding to the humidity.

The insulation in this crawlspace is no stranger to suffering. Any insulation installed here is filled to the brim with water. And, as you know, damp insulation is basically a decoration. Once it’s wet, it immediately loses all of its insulation value.

When our company was contacted, we sought to rectify those issues. Design Specialist, Jonathan Geddie, offered the homeowner a free estimate and went about inspecting the home. He came back with all of the issues listed above highlighted. He also came back with a short list of products to eliminate those problems. Our crew, led by Foreman Jose Najera, installed drain tile, CleanSpace, drainage matting, an EverLast Door, a SmartSump, vent covers, and a Lawnscape Outlet.

The CleanSpace liner acts as a barrier. It protects your home from the earth including water vapor and natural gases. The drainage matting goes beneath it, directing the water to the SmartSump. The EverLast Door’s role is every bit as important. It’s sealed tight to keep the outside air. This is important because once the outside air mixes with the inside air, it can drastically affect moisture in the crawlspace. The vent covers are essential for this as well. Now that all of this has been completed, it is a better space for it.

The owners are happy, we’re happy, and there is nothing left to do other than to celebrate its completion. However, if you have any water issues in your basement or crawlspace, use this story as an example and reach out to us. We’ll be sure to take care of it for you.
