This Kentucky family was having a problem with an excessive amount of moisture in their wood beams. They had a liner of types on the ground, but it did not do a good job at sealing out most of the vapor, plus they had an open vent in their crawl space, which is a big no-no. The reason why it is a bad idea is because you are letting the moisture outside come inside, bringing drafty winter floors, high energy bills, and pests with it!
This family had noticed their floors starting to sag and worried about the health of their home. They found us via HomeAdvisor and called immediately. Our inspector came over to inspect and then discussed with the family what he found and which of our products would work to resolve the problem best.
They agreed on these products:
CleanSpace Liner- thick 20 mil liner that reduces moisture and vapor in the crawl space
CleanSpace Drainage Matting- has dimples that help trapped water flow to the designated drain
IceGuard- prevents flooding due to frozen discharge lines (because of its perforated top!)
SaniDry Sedona- energy efficient dehumidifier that keeps your humidity levels below 55%, plus you never have to worry about dumping this one out!
They now have a healthy crawl space that they no longer have to worry about excessive moisture getting to their wood piers!
This 1912 Tennessee home's patio starting dropping and cracking. There are a number of reasons why this could happen, a few of them being erosion, flooding, and the soil not being properly prepared for the concrete. Puddles of water would form in the drop and stay there for a few days following rainfall. A huge void under the patio appeared and that got the homeowners even more worried about their concrete slab because they knew more water could find its way underneath the slab much easier and cause more damage.
The homeowners looked for concrete specialists online and liked our lifting and sealing products. They called our office and we scheduled them a free inspection with our inspector. After speaking in person with a trained specialist, the homeowners loved our products and system even more and agreed wit hall of his suggestions to fix their patio.
Our concrete guru lifted the concrete slab with PolyLevel to make it level with the other slabs, sealed the cracks with NexusPro Sealant, and filled in the void back in!
PolyLevel- an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. It also fills sinkholes and other voids!
NexusPro Sealant- a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks specially engineered to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, which means it won't crack, bubble or dry.
The homeowner was thrilled with this easy solution and is glad to no longer have to worry about the cracks getting worse or the void growing larger!
This homeowner in Clarksville Tennessee had a large unsightly crack in the stairs leading up to their doors and it was starting to become a tripping hazard. This is when they reached out to Frontier for a permanent solution. Frontier injected poly level and smoothed everything out. The results are wonderful!
This Tennessee basement had major moisture issues! Space would constantly flood and the homeowner hated how he could NEVER store anything in his own basement. He decided to call the experts to finally solve his problem!
After our inspector inspected his basement and went over different sump pump/drain options, they decided a mixture of two pumps was perfect!
At Basement Systems, we are not manufacturers of sump pumps. This frees us to research the best pumps in the industry and use them.
With more than two decades in the business, we've found that cast-iron Zoeller Sump Pumps are the highest quality systems on the market. They're powerful, long-lasting, and factory tested -- which is just a few reasons they're our brand of choice!
Our crew installed the TripleSafe Single (M53 pump) to ensure the water would be transported out of the basement and the UltraSump III Battery Backup Pump System was also installed.
Advantages of the UltraSump:
The homeowner now has a dry basement that can actually be used for storage!

This homeowner had a bad flooding problem in his basement. Due to the excessive moisture, mold was growing and this made him worry about the future health of his home. He decided he was done with having a useless and wet basement...it was time to call us, Frontier Basement Systems!
Our inspector came to meet him at his home, he inspected the space, and then came up with a plan with the homeowner.
Along with a few other products, they agreed upon installing the CleanSpace Wall System and a WaterGuard System.
The WaterGuard System works to capture groundwater before it leaks onto the basement floor. Basement Systems' WaterGuard was designed to solve the issues not addressed in alternative methods of waterproofing and to protect the basement against all possible leaks. The drain lines are large enough to handle heavy water flow during wet weather. The drain lines also are designed to resist clogging that can cause backups.
As for the CleanSpace Wall System, it not only works with the WaterGuard System to collect wall seepage, but it also used to hide the ugly water-stained walls that are quite an eyesore!
Now that the homeowner has a waterproofed basement, he has one less thing to stress about!
