Recently, we had the opportunity to help a homeowner in Wilmington, DE, who was facing a persistent and troubling issue with water in their partially finished basement.

This not only damaged property but also led to mold growth - a worry for anyone's health and home. We found the water was not just making an unwelcome entrance but also had no way to exit, trapping moisture and causing damage. Our solution included installing our WaterGuard system, an innovative interior basement drainage system designed to effectively capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor.

When a homeowner in Wilmington, DE, contacted us about a persistent musty smell and cool floors, especially noticeable after the rain, we knew we faced a familiar challenge. Like many homes in the region, their new property was suffering from an inadequately protected crawlspace, a common issue that can impact comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency in homes. Following an inspection by one of our experienced System Design Specialists, the root of the problem was clear: moisture infiltration had created an ideal setting for mold growth, contributing to air quality issues inside the home. To tackle this, we recommended our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system alongside SilverGlo insulation panels. CleanSpace is designed to create a thick, durable barrier against moisture and air, effectively sealing off the space from earth damp, while SilverGlo helps to insulate the crawlspace, reflecting heat back into the space and ensuring that floors above remain warm and energy bills get a break. Our production team jumped into action, first cleaning and preparing the crawlspace, subsequently laying down the CleanSpace liner, and installing SilverGlo panels with precision. The process not only requires thorough technical expertise but also a sensitivity to the homeowner's daily life, ensuring that our work was carried out carefully and cleaned up promptly, reducing hassle and stress. The outcome was a transformed crawlspace - dry, insulated, and free of musty smells.

This partially finished basement often had water come in due to heavy rains. Water seepage mostly occurred in the unfinished portion of the basement. Our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the footer of the unfinished section of the basement.

There were several problems with this complicated, multi level, home in Wilmington, DE.

First, the deck boards on the front of the home were painted closed and no longer allowed water to drain in between them.  As a result, the customer would have several inches of rain build up on the deck, which then leaked into the home and caused the lower level drop ceiling to get damaged.  To solve this issue, we had to rip up the old deck boards and replace them with new, pressure treated boards with spaces in between each board so that the water could properly drain.  Problem solved.  

There was also a problem with sub-flooring in the basement.  There was no vapout barrier on the dirt floor below the plywood.  This caused a constant moisture problem which resulted in the floor and joist rotting.  We ripped out the old floor and the joist and installed a drainage system along with the CleanSpace Vapor barrier so that the space would be dry.  No more high mosture levels under the floor.   Then we reinstalled the joist and the floor decking. 

There was also an adjacent crawlspace with mold all over the joists due to high levels of moisture.  The primary reason for the mold was that the existing vapor barrier was only 6-mill poly plastic, which could not keep the moisture from the ground from leaking into the crawlspace and causing high humidity levels.  We did a full mold remediation job on the whole CralwSpace.  A new SmartSump was installed to make sure we could control water seepage under the vapor barrier.  We installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier  to make sure that the ground was properly sealed off.  We also installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifer to make sure that the remaining air in the crawlspace would always stay dry.  We spray foamed the ban-board/sil-plate area and some above ground framed walls to keep the cold air out.  We also replaced the old, leaky, crawlspace door with the airtight EverLast door to keep the humid and cold air out.  

To finish it off, we repaired the water damaged drop ceiling on the first floor. This job tool about 7 days and came out beautifully.  Most importantly, all the customer problems of mold, rot, high humidity, water seepage and bad insulation have been resolved.   

This little crawlspace was moldy, damp, and cold.  The problem was that it was vented to the outside which lets cold and wet air into the crawlspace. It also had fiberglass insulation in the ceiling, which is the worst product to install in damp areas. Fiberglass  is organic and will suck the moisture out of the air and then grow mold. The floor was also missing a vapor barrier. This means moisture from the ground can evaporate into the crawlspace. We had the solution; we closed the vent and removed the fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. Then we insulated the perimeter walls with SilverGlow foam board. We also installed Drainage matting and the CleanSpace vapor barrier over the floor. The crawlspace is now t clean, dry, mold and odor free.  

This basement was very wet and damp and looked like an un-usable dungeon.  It would be a bad idea to use traditional basement finishing matrials like drywall in this basement because you would have mol din no time.  

We first made sure that the basement was waterpoofed with our Wateguard waterpoofing system.  The we used in-organic materials to finish the basement.  TBF everlast walls not only look beautifull, they also com ewith a 50-year guarantee against water or mold damge.  The flooring is also waterpoof and even the ceiling tiles are made of an inorganic material and come with a30 year guarantee.  The space was small but it turned out great.  Can you imagine the difference in home value this job made?
