Photo Album: Basement and Crawl Space Moisture Control in Nazareth, PA

Following a conversation with one of our professionals at a home show, a Nazareth, PA business owner scheduled a free basement waterproofing and crawl space repair estimate with our office. After hearing about the benefits of our basement waterproofing services- such as preventing mold growth, structural damage, and musty odors- the business owner was convinced that it was worth investing in our services. In order to identify any problems, Robert W., an expert in basement waterproofing and crawl space repair, was scheduled to do a thorough assessment and provide a customized solution.   Robert discovered that the basement and crawl space in the customer's house were connected. It was damp and humid, with dirt floors. As a result of the damp environment, the joists became weakened, compromising the structural integrity of the building. In turn, this resulted in sagging floors above. Having thoroughly assessed the space, Robert talked with the customer about his findings and proposed a permanent fix. Following their discussion, the business owner was confident that Liberty Basement Systems would solve their problems permanently. Rather than risk moisture problems in the crawl space and basement, and not repair the sagging floors above, it was decided to fully encapsulate and stabilize the areas to protect its owners and customers. Moisture can lead to rot, mold and mildew in these areas, which can be a health hazard and can cause significant damage to the building. By encapsulating the area, you prevent moisture from entering the space and reduce the risk of future problems. By stabilizing the structure, you will correct the sagging floors and prevent them from happening again.   To fully encapsulate the basement and crawl space, foreman Codey B., and his crew sealed the rim joists and any open gaps that allowed outside air to enter, fastened Foamax basement wall insulation and vapor barrier panels to the walls, installed a SuperSump Pump system to protect the space from water intrusion issues, and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the crawl space walls as well as covering the entire floor. Additionally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain low humidity levels and keep the air dry. To stabilize the floor above, the crew installed SmartJack support posts. The SmartJack support posts help to reinforce the weak areas of the floor and keep it from shifting or sagging. These high-quality basement waterproofing and crawl space repair products provide this business owner with full protection against moisture and structural issues.
