Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Moisture in the Home

Peter found his basement damp and unsure of where the water originated from. The only solution was to call Ayers and have one of our resident foremen inspect the area. Our foreman Bruce was able to look around and draft a treatment plan. Bruce installed a CleanSpace lining to protect the vulnerable material, an IceGuard modification to protect the pipes during the winter, and treated the entire area with a powerful dehumidifier.

Dehumidifier

Moisture in the air is a major risk to the home. Moisture can invite micro-organisms into the home that consume organic materials like the wood found in most homes' Support works. This process weakens the home's integrity risking the safety of the home. Moisture also invites mold spores that can risk the occupants' health directly as well as indirectly.

CleanSpace

CleanSpace is an antimicrobial lining that is placed on every flat surface of a home's crawl space. CleanSpace provides a protective barrier between the home's vulnerable material and any possible moisture inside the home. Moisture in the home is a danger because it can invite microorganisms that consume organic material like wood (wood found in the support works of a home). If too much wood is degraded then the home's support is compromised and a major risk factor.

IceGuard

IceGuard is a modification that attaches to the pipes of the home's sump pump. Without the mod ice can build up when the pump pushes water through the system, risking buildups and ruptures. IceGuard is a simple attachment that requires no energy to function year-round.
