Basement Waterproofing & Drainage Photo Album: Mold Prevention in Bellevue, NE
Moldy Insulation
These homeowners had this insulation installed, in hopes of keeping the home at the correct temperature. This insulation is not waterproof though, so mold has started to form on the backside of it.
Mold Growing on Wall Behind Insulation
After the insulation was taken down, they found a wall full of mold. The insulation was collecting all the water, and because it was not waterproof, it caused mold to grow.
CleanSpace Installed
A nice after picture of the CleanSpace installed. Water may come through the wall as it has, but the CleanSpace stops it from coming through further. It trickles down the tarp and into the waterproofing system and out of the home. Great thing about CleanSpace is that it is waterproof, so the water will not sit in place for a long time, giving a place for mold to grow.
Waterproofing System Installed
These homeownes already had part of our waterproofing system. This included the sump pump, and WaterGuard. WaterGuard you can not see, as it is around the perimeter under the layer of concrete. The CleanSpace was added later, as they were still getting water into their home. The water can no trickle down the CleanSpace, into the WaterGuard and WaterGuard will flow it into the sump pump and out of the home at a safe distance!
