Photo Album: Moldy Crawl Space Waterproofing in Philippi, WV

This Philippi, WV homeowner had a growing mold problem in her crawl space caused by water and moisture that needed to be dealt with quickly. She discovered Alford Foundation and Crawl Space Repair, and we installed a customized waterproofing and crawl space repair solution, including a sump pump, trench drain, and discharge line that pumped any intruding water away from the home. She now has a dry, mold-free space protected from heavy rains that will keep her safe and breathing easy over the years!

Rocky, Dirt Crawl Space with Water Seepage

You can see water damage here due to the staining and streaks, as well as the water marks along the side of the cinder block. Over time, this water and moisture cause mold, rot, odors, and impact the air you breathe in the upper levels of your home.

Dark, Musty Crawl Space with Water Heater

See a total view of the crawl space, which also holds the water heater. If water were to rise too high in the crawl space, the water heater may also be damaged and lost. It's also clear this space is a bit dysfunctional and in need of a solid clearing of debris.

Crawl Space with Wooden Beams

Wet crawl spaces with lots of moisture love wood. These wooden beams were at risk of rotting if the homeowner hadn't called us when they did.

Severe Mold from Water Intrusion

A wet basement will cause mold to form. In this case, it may have been left undetected or unresolved for a while. The goal is to get ahead of mildew and mold so they don't become a hazard to you or your family's health.

Sump Pump to Keep Water Out

We installed a powerful sump pump with an alarm to pump out any invasive water from the crawl space and foundation. The space is much clearer and cleaner, which creates a better environment for everyone living in the home.

Trench Drain Installation

Along the perimeter of the crawl space, our crew installed a trench drain that easily allows water to flow properly outside, rather than sit inside.

LawnScape Outlet

All water ends here at the LawnScape Outlet, which helps prevent clogs in the drainage lines from debris. The low-profile design blends right into your landscaping, allowing a lawnmower to pass over.
