Note* Basement Systems sump pump was recommended.
Problem: This home's basement seeped water in and did not have an efficient sump pump. There was carpet directly on the concrete slab.
Solution: We installed a perimeter footing drain, a sump pump system with our battery backup, Bright Wall panels behind the laundry sink and Everlast Finished Wall System around the bathroom. Thermal Dry tiles were put down to keep the floor warmer and dry!

Although this crawl space was very clean with little evidence of pests and no standing water, the unencapsulated space still affected the home above by what is known as the stock effect. https://www.advancedbasementsystems.net/home-mold/stack-effect.html Resulting in problems such as:
Damp, musty smells
Higher than healthy levels of humidity
Less-than-desirable heating and cooling costs
The best method to remedy these problems is by completely sealing off the crawl space from the outside environment! Our Advanced Basement Systems team was happy to help these Chatham homeowners.
Problem: These home owners contacted Advanced Basement Systems to improve their crawl space environment for the benefit and health of the entire home. The access area was unlevel, often wet and not properly enclosed.
Solution: With crawl space accesses, there are two important points to remember:
Our team did a great job improving this access area for ease of entry and to seal off the outside environment from the crawl space.

Problem: Even after replacing their sump pump system earlier in the year, this owner still experienced a large amount of water coming through their walls, especially after a heavy rain.
Solution: We gave these homeowners a peace of mind and a dry space for them to come home to by installing our Ultra sump batter back up systems. We also installed ThermalDry wall and our perimeter drain in the floor along the problem basement wall.
