Damp Basement in Burr Oak
Water and air were coming in through the crumbling mortar in these stone walls.
DIY Window Cover Still Lets in Moisture
Someone attempted to seal off this window themselves, but it's not an easy process and the window still lets in air and ambient moisture.
Musty Crawl Space
While the crawl space didn't have standing water in it, it did show the effects of previous water issues in it and the basement. Bad smells and moldy debris are major signs of water problems.
Insulating the Rim Joist
We insulated the rim joist and what little wall space existed in this crawl space with spray foam insulation, which will ensure a total seal.
CleanSpace Protect Small Crawl Space
Even a small crawl space can cause a big problem. Installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier system will protect the crawl space - and the home above it - from ambient moisture and all the problems that come with it.
Properly Sealing Old Window
We put new blocks in to seal the old window that was letting air and water inside the basement.
Spray Foam Insulation Covers Stone Basement Walls
The best way to insulate these walls was to use FrothPak spray insulation to get into every nook and cranny.
CleanSpace Covers Newly Insulated Walls
Once the FrothPak was in place, we covered the walls with CleanSpace to give the basement a little cleaner look and add an extra layer of protection.
