This homeowner from Lake Charles gave us a call because they were having some moisture and mold issues in their crawlspace. Brett DiBiase performed the inspection and found a moisture content of a whopping 25% in the wooden joists. This is extremely high since mold can START growing when the moisture content is at least 16%.
Fortunately, we were able to treat the mold and install our waterproofing encapsulation system in the crawlspace of this beautiful home. We completed the job with a dehumidifier to maintain the dry atmosphere and a sump pump to keep the ground water out. We left with a happy customer!
Sweaty concrete walls and leaky window vents led to constant water seepage in this Louisiana basement. The homeowners were looking for a permanent solution to this problem. Constant water intrusion not only made the basement unusable space, but the stagnant water created an unhealthy atmosphere to breathe in. Our team was able to get out there and propose our basement waterproofing solutions. We repair basement leaks from the inside, rather than the outside. First, we install our WaterGuard product underneath the concrete to catch and direct water directly to the sump pump. This will keep it from gathering on top of the concrete and staying in the room. Then we install our BrightWall wall coverings to not only brighten up the space, but create a system for the wall leakage to follow, directing it into the FlowGuard and eventually into the sump pump. This is the most effective system to alleviate the basement of water leakage and buildup.
