Expert Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Company in Greenwood, SC

This home in Greenwood, SC was experiencing high moisture levels in their basement and crawl space due to water seepage. The dirt floor in the crawl space had turned to a muddy mess as a result of the flooding. Along with the crawl space taking in water, the water would seep into the finished section of the basement and began to ruin the flooring.

            To solve this issue the homeowners called us at All-Dry of the Carolinas and we sent out our design specialist Alex Rogers. Alex was able to identify the problem and suggest to the homeowner a combination of waterproofing products that would protect both the crawl space and the basement.

The products that were added to the crawl space are designed to keep water from getting to the basement, but ground water comes in in mysterious ways. So to prevent the basement from being subject to water if the crawl space system fails or if it is over flooded, the basement has its own waterproofing system that will keep the interior of the home dry. Together with these products our team at All-Dry of the Carolinas were able to protect this home from water and high moisture levels.  

This home in Greenwood was dealing with some very serious foundation issues in their garage. The problem in this particular home was that the back wall of their garage was beginning to bow out. This is obvious when looking at the first couple of pictures below, where there are several cracks throughout the wall. This was an issue that definitely needed to be taken care of before more permanent damage was done to the home.

This was actually a pretty big job because not only were wall anchors installed in order to begin straightening out the wall, but our crew also installed our BrightWall paneling, Wall Anchor covers, and two sump pumps. The first part of the job was to install the wall anchors, which can be a lengthy process. The first thing that has to be done is to determine exactly where each wall anchor is going to be placed. Then the crew has to determine where the outside anchor plate will be installed. After the logistics are worked out, the crew begins digging. The anchor plates are placed in the holes (like the one in the third picture) where a metal rod is driven through the basement wall to connect the two anchor plates. Once all of the plates have been installed, the crew begins to tighten them, moving the wall back towards its original position.

Now that the biggest part of the job is out of the way, the crew was able to work on the rest of the project. The next thing that they did was to install the BrightWall on the walls of the garage. This can be seen in the last photo along the back wall. The wall anchor covers can also be seen in this photo, they are the grey boxes in the middle of the wall. These covers allow the wall anchors to be accessed, but provide a much better looking alternative than leaving them open to see. The last thing that the crew did was install the sump pumps (SuperSump and UltraSump), in order to pump any water that came into the crawlspace out of the area, away from the home.
