Alford Foundation and Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The before and during a concrete polylevel lift

Before, this homeowner in Cottageville, WV, had a serious basement water intrusion problem that was causing mold growth and smelly odors throughout the home. To stop the water intrusion and prevent future incidents from flooding or heavy rains, we installed a trench drain along the garage door as part of a larger waterproofing system. A trench drain catches any water entering from outside the home before it reaches the garage or basement. This was a crucial step in waterproofing this Cottageville home to keep it dry for many years to come.

The finished basement of this Cottageville, WV home was suffering from a severe mold problem due to water intrusion in both the basement and crawl space. Over the years, moisture in the air caused mold to grow and spread throughout the home, even on the walls and ceiling. The Alford crew converted this moldy, unhealthy basement into a dry, safe one by first waterproofing it. We installed reliable interior drainage called WaterGuard, engineered to sit on top of the footing, instead of alongside it. This design prevents mud from getting into the drain and causing overflow. Next, we demolished the mold-ridden walls and replaced them with beautiful EverLast wall panels. These are designed for basements because they resist mold growth and water damage. Finally, we applied BactroClean to remove any visible signs of fungal growth. This customer's basement in Cottageville is now safer, cleaner, and livable.
