This crawl space received the full Mid-State treatment! A dirt crawl space that hasn't been encapsulated can allow ground moisture to seep into the crawl space and increase the humidity level in your home. Standing water in the crawl space leads to moisture that causes mold, mildew, and wood rot. Crawl space humidity can cause discomfort, high utility bills, and aggravate allergies and asthma. This homeowner took action and now his home will be protected and DRY!
A musty smell had been bothering this homeowner for quite some time. She believed it was coming from the crawl space, so she called the experts at Mid-State Basement Systems to check it out. After an inspection we realized there was definitely a moisture problem that needed to be addressed. Once our expert discussed solutions with the homeowner, they were ready to move forward with the project.
We insulated and waterproofed the walls with SilverGlo Insulation Panels. Drainage Matting was laid on the ground to provide a thermal break between the crawl space and the earth. Then, a CleanSpace Liner was installed to protect the space from moisture. CleanSpace is a 20mil thick ultra durable vapor barrier that won't rip or tear! This home is now protected from the ground up!
For basement walls that are bowed, leaning, and/or sheered, we install our PowerBrace Wall Bracing System to offer stabilization and even improve the positioning of the wall over time.
SunHouse window wells from Basement Systems are designed to transform dark, dirty and deteriorated window wells into clean, bright spaces that bring loads more light into the basement. Made from reinforced plastic that will never rust, rot or require painting, they're just about indestructible. The SunHouse well also includes a vinyl floor that will keep out dirt, moisture, and pests.
