3 Pros Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Fairfax VA homeowner wanted to get their crawl space upgraded.  They had excessive moisture which had lead to mildew and mold in parts of the crawl space.  Open vents to outside were allowing air, dust and allergens to come in from outside and were making the air quality of the home poor.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Jason visited and was able to identify the right products and services to help improve things.  Our production crew removed the old insulation, plastic floor covering and other dirty materials.  They sprayed the space with a botanical cleaner to prevent mold growth, covered the floors with Clean Space, covered the walls with Silver Glo insulation panels, air sealed the panels using Zyp Foam and then used Spray Foam to seal and insulate the rim joists of the home.  

This Fairfax VA home had a sump pump that has been doing its job.  Because of that, it was covered in corrosion, dirt, and sediment that came along with the dirty water it had been pumping out of the home for the last year.  Our service tech Brent stopped in for an annual service check and got the pump cleaned and ready to keep working in the future. 

This basement in Fairfax VA had unwanted water collecting in it.  The home owners had installed a stand alone dehumidifier and placed it next to their existing sump pump to drain it.  unfortunately, this is a common mistake made by many homeowners trying to self address basement water problems.  Placing a dehumidifier next to a sump pump can lead to the same water being pulled back into the dehumidifier once it is drained in the sump pump well.  This can overwork both devices and keeps the moisture in the area.  Our production team installed a new sump pump with a cover and had it properly located to receive all of the water collected by our Water Guard basement waterproofing system.  

This crawl space in Fairfax VA was wet and nasty with a musty smell.  Open air vents allowed for external weather and temperatures to impact the air inside of the home.  Dust and allergens were passing into the crawls space through the vents as well.  After removing the old insulation and plastic covering the floors, our production team installed a layer of insulation on the ground along with a moisture barrier.  This was followed by covering the floors and walls with Clean Space material and then Spray Foam insulation being applied to the crawl space walls and rim joists.  Eliminating uncontrolled air flow and insulating the space from the outside in helped improve the air quality of the home.  

This wet basement had mildew and poor air quality due to unwanted water.  A Water Guard system helped to make it all better.  Here you see the installation in progress and after it was completed.
