Ironton, OH's Skilled Concrete & Foundation Repair Contractor

An Ironton, OH, homeowner found water pooling near the footer of their crawl space every time the snow melted or it rained. This was especially concerning because, as excess moisture and humidity levels lingered, it began to cause an unhealthy environment in the home. The homeowner needed a fast, professional fix!

After finding Alford online, he gave us a phone call for an appointment. Our inspector discovered mold growing on the floor joists and wanted to find the right solution that would eliminate the groundwater, protect from future water seepage, and keep moisture out of the air. Our crew installed a full encapsulation system, including CleanSpace vapor barrier, new drainage to redirect water to a new sump system, and a powerful dehumidifier that removed moisture from the air. 

Together, this solution managed any intruding water at every level and prevented mold, smelly odors, health issues, and future foundation problems. Now, the space is clean, dry, and safe for the foreseeable future.

Derek needed a quick solution once he found groundwater pooling at the footer of his crawl space in Ironton, OH. This was a drainage problem, as it rained and snowed, water collected in the same spot and had nowhere else to go. This put his foundation and home at risk of the problems associated with moisture, including mold, mildew, odors, and rot.

The Alford Foundation & Crawl Space Repair crew came to rescue by first fixing the drainage. We installed a Flex Drainage System around the interior perimeter of the crawl space to collect groundwater and move it along to the new SuperSump sump pump. This prevented water from pooling and protected the foundation from water. In addition to drainage, we installed CleanSpace vapor barrier, a high-performance dehumidifier, and IceGuard to avoid flooding if ice blocked discharge lines during the winter months. 

Together, this solution brings Derek a dry, sealed crawl space that protects the foundation, circulates healthy air throughout each living area, and increases the overall value of the home.

When a homeowner in Ironton, OH, discovered water pooling near the footer of the crawl space in their home, they knew they needed to call a professional quickly. When groundwater collects at the footer, the foundation becomes at risk, and moisture can lead to wood rot, mold growth, and unhealthy air, leading to asthma and allergies. 

After finding Alford online, the homeowner gave us a call for help. As part of the crawl space encapsulation solution, we installed a SmartSump sump pump system, designed especially for crawl spaces to collect groundwater from the newly placed interior perimeter drainage system, and discharge it away from the footer and home. We also installed a vapor barrier and a reliable dehumidifier, both working together to protect against moisture and humidity.

Now this crawl space is dry, clean, and safe from water intrusion. This long-term defense solution not only brings peace of mind but also makes living in the home more comfortable and enjoyable with healthy, clean air year-round.
