3 Pros Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Trench Lock can be a great addition to a basement waterproofing system.  Installed at the doorway, it can catch water coming in from outside and deliver it through the Water Guard system to a sump pump in a basement.  

Every project we work on, big or small, starts with a full Home Performance Inspection and a plan of action created by a Home Performance Sales Team member.  Here you can see the plan and what it resulted in.  

This Herndon VA home had a vented crawl space that had insulation falling from the ceiling of the crawl space.  That insulation was meant to help control the temperature of the floors and rooms above but was not doing the job.  The crawl space being vented meant that external air was able to come into the home and bring with it allergens and dust along with whatever outside temperatures were happening.  Our production team removed all of the old insulation, sealed up the air vents and then used spray foam to insulate the walls and rim joist of the crawl space.  this turned the area in a controlled space with no impact from outside temperatures or air.  Although taken at slightly different angles and distances, these images are of the same exact corner of the crawl space before and after our team did their work.  

This home in Herndon VA had a crawl space that had become very nasty over the years.  Uncontrolled air flow lead to humidity issues and excessive moisture.  The failed insulation was leading to cold floors above in the winter and the musty smell from the crawl space was noticeable in the rooms of the home above.  Our team was able to clean out the old insulation, level out the dirt floors, close off and air seal the vents to outside and then properly insulate and seal the rest of the crawl space.  Improved air quality in the home above and reduced energy use were the results.  The crawl space is now clean and safe to use for storage if needed.  

A homeowner in Herndon, VA wanted to reduce the chances of mold and humidity in their crawl space area. This crawl space was vented, like most homes in our area, and the vents let warm humid air in which is cooled by the subterranean crawl space. This causes relative humidity to go way up and condensation to form all over the crawl space surfaces including floor joists and ducts. Then mold can grow, wood will rot, and musty odors can appear. To address this, the 3 Pros team sealed up the vents and a dimpled plastic drainage matting is installed on the floor to create a thermal break. A heavy duty liner, CleanSpace, is installed across the floor over the matting and up the walls. Finally closed cell spray foam is installed on the walls to the top of the rim joist.
