Wet Crawlspace Transformed In Ellendale, ND

Tuesday, April 18th, 2023 by Ella Wiebusch

Challenge

If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, this will extend to every part of the home. Alfred, from Ellendale, ND, was beginning to fear that his unstable crawl space was causing issues throughout the rest of his home and wanted to make sure that the issue was corrected before any more damage could be done.

After deciding on our company, Alfred gave us a call, and we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help.

Solution

We explained that the home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. Our recommendations were approved, and so we got to work! Our Foreman, Cameron, and his team worked diligently to install a variety of products. First up was our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, which reduces the humidity levels, musty smells, and odors, as well as makes the home drier and more comfortable. Next, our Foamax Wall Panels were installed, which is a foam insulation that is a great investment and brightens the entire basement. Then, the crew sprayed the remaining points of entry with our SprayFoam. Finally, Cameron saw that our PowerBrace wall repair system to fix the wall. He explained that The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. He went on to say that the steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment and that, over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know he no longer had to worry about a faulty crawl space affecting the rest of his home!
