Photo Album: A Pinckney Basement Gets a Total Makeover.

Andrea has a dirt floor crawl space and a lot of unwanted moisture. She was also using cinder blocks to support her home’s foundation. That may be a smart quick fix for a very short period of time but definitely not a reliable long-term option. She, like all other homeowners, wanted a long-lasting and reliable support system for her home. To waterproof, our team came out and installed IceGuard, the SmartSump Sump Pump, the SaniDry Sedona, CleanSpace, Rim Joist Insulation, and an EverLast crawl space door. For foundation support, our team installed Smart Jacks.

Before Any Systems are Installed

Before our team came out, Andrea had a dirt floor crawl space which leaves it susceptible to moisture. She was also using cinder blocks to support her foundation which is not a long-term solution.

SmartJacks Replace Cinder Blocks

SmartJacks support sagging floor joists and beams. Floors above basements and crawl spaces are vulnerable due to the damp nature of the lowest floor. The SmartJack system is a permanent fix to these issues. It uses steel columns, threaded rods, and a solid base to address any problems your basement may have. Installing this system usually takes less than a day and it provides immediate stabilization.

The Strongest Dehumidifier Around

The SaniDry Sedona is more powerful than any other dehumidifier and drains automatically so you don't have to worry about emptying the water yourself. It will control the humidity and make sure to stop mold growth, kill dust mites, and make your whole house healthier.

SmartSump Keeps the Crawl Space Dry.

The SmartSump Sump Pump has a unique lid design so that water can drain down but the damp air will not sneak back up into your space. When there is an indication of flooding an alarm will sound to alert you so you have plenty of time to take action and additionally you can also have a battery-powered backup installed so your pump will work in power outages. This sump pump works in tandem with the SaniDry Sedona and IceGuard.

CleanSpace transforms the Space

Clean space is an uninterrupted vapor barrier designed to keep out any unwanted pests, moisture, and mold. This barrier restricts airflow and therefore makes controlling the temperature of the home much easier. CleanSpace is applied to the floors and walls and wrapped around pillars and piers carefully to ensure that the space looks clean and refreshed. This can easily be wrapped around the EverLast door.

EverLast Door Seals Out

Typical wood crawl space doors can deteriorate over time and can allow insects and other pests to get in your crawl space. Not to mention, wood leaves room for outside air which makes the space cold and damp. Everlast doors are made from thick PVC Plastic and secured with weatherproof knobs. Unlike wood, it won't shrink or deteriorate over time and it won't require any maintenance. Once installed, the door will ensure that your space is sealed off from outside intrusions and keeps the space warm.
