Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: CleanSpace Provides a Solution and Comfort to a Columbia, SC Homeowner
Gloria B. has lived and thrived in Columbia, SC for many, many years. A few years ago she was excited to finally be able to own her own home. Even though it is small, she appreciates that she finally has a place to really call her own for the first time in her life. Gloria started a garden in the backyard to fulfill another longtime dream but this signaled a possible problem. There was a great deal of water that would pool around the home and her garden. She imagined if this excess water was not good for her garden, it was not good for her home either. Gloria wanted an inspector she felt like she could trust to take a look at her crawl space. One morning at church she had expressed her concern and someone suggested calling Cantey Foundation Specialists. On Monday, Gloria called in and was scheduled for an appointment with System Design Specialist John Adams. Before the appointment, she was sent a packet from Cantey that provided her with information on products and the Specialist John. When John arrived, Gloria already felt comfortable having him as her inspector. John did his inspection and found that Gloria had a moisture problem that needed to be addressed. John recommended to her Cantey's CleanSpace system. The CleanSpace system would begin with drainage matting being placed on the floor of the crawl space. Then a thick liner of CleanSpace material would be installed on the floor, walls, and piers of the crawl space for an all-around barrier. The barrier would then be sealed with spray foam adhesive that solidifies the bond between the CleanSpace system and the crawl space. Gloria was more than satisfied with the information she received and felt like she was making an informed decision to install for the health of her home. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Jonathan Lowder, and Production Team Member Matthew Kelley came out and effectively installed the CleanSpace system. Gloria is no longer worried about water causing her home harm and recommends Cantey as a trusted company to her friends and family.
No Front Line of Protection
Homeowner Gloria's crawl space door was not assisting in preventing water from entering because of its condition.
Moisture Takes Hold
The excess water had found its way into the crawl space creating an environment that could produce mold and weaken the home's foundation.
Extra Defense
The homeowner also wanted to install a SmartSump that would assist in pumping out all the excess water for extra peace of mind.
The Finished Product
With the CleanSpace system installed, this homeowner no longer has to worry that her dream of owning her perfect home would be ruined.
