Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: CarbonArmor and CleanSpace Installed in New Johnsonville, TN
This Tennessee home had several issues that needed to be worked on. There was an excessive amount of moisture in the crawl space, which was causing mold to grow in the basement, and cause a mildew aroma to drift throughout the home. Did you know that 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from downstairs? Make sure your crawl space is healthy and sealed, so your family isn't breathing in moldy and unhealthy air. The homeowners started to worry about the future of their forever home. The foundation cracks in their basement were getting worse and the walls were bowing. Their crawl space was not sealed, so it allowed excessive moisture to come in and absorb into their wood supporting beams. They decided it was time to call a professional to help them!

Uncovered Crawl Space
An uncovered (and even partially covered) crawl space is no good! The moisture from the soil rises up and becomes condensation on your wood beams. Excessive moisture can easily lead to mold growth in your crawl space!
Foundation Cracking
The wood beams have mold on them and are weakening by the minute. If you have mold on your floor joists, you will soon have uneven or "bouncy" floors!
If you look past all of the mold on this basement wall, you can see foundation cracks! The walls in this basement seem to be moving inward/bowing, but no worries.. we have the perfect fix!
CarbonArmor
The CarbonArmor system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. CarbonArmor uses fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) which are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against your basement wall. The ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to your floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls.
Encapsulation
We now have our drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier installed! The liner is 20mil thick and has 7 layers of polyethylene composition and polyester-cord reinforcement. It is made to reduce moisture in the crawl space and it can also reduce energy bills!
SuperSump Pump
This powerful top-rated 1/3 HP Zoeller cast iron pump offers reliability and high-volume pumping. It can pump up to 2,280 gallons of water per hour! It even has a built-in alarm that alerts you when water level rises too high.
