Sayre, PA Basement Finishing & Waterproofing Experts

Having to deal with musty odors and humid air raised concerns for a Sayre, PA homeowner. After investigating the area, they discovered the odor was coming from their crawl space. Their search on the internet for a crawl space expert led them to Liberty Basement Systems and they decided to give us a call. We scheduled an appointment to have one of our highly-trained inspectors inspect their crawl space and recommend the most effective solution there is!

It was discovered that the crawl space was wet, humid, and emitted a musty odor. High levels of moisture provide a hospitable environment for mold to grow and spread. The mold not only affects the air quality, but it can also cause structural damage to the house and attract a variety of pests. These problems can worsen if the area is not properly ventilated, as the moist air can stay trapped and create a breeding ground for these issues. Besides the musty smells from their crawl space and humid air, the customer also noticed bouncy flooring in their kitchen. The moisture in the crawl space caused the wood joists to rot and become weak. This weakened the structure of the flooring, resulting in bounciness.

In response to a thorough assessment, a customized solution was built and recommended to the homeowner.The solution was tailored to the individual situation by addressing the cause of the problem and preventing the moisture from causing further damage. To resolve these issues, it was decided that encapsulating the crawl space with a durable vapor barrier system, sealing all cracks and open vents, installing high quality insulation on the walls, installing a drainage system and high-performance sump pump to keep the water out of the space, and installing a crawl space dehumidification system to ensure the air is dry and rid of that musty odor were essential. To stabilize the sagging floor, SmartJack crawl space support posts were recommended. This comprehensive approach to crawl space repair would not only address the structural issues, but also the issues with moisture, humidity, and odors in the space. Additionally, the SmartJack support posts would help to ensure that the floor was strong and stable, and would not further sag or warp over time.

When looking for a foundation repair and basement waterproofing professional, a Sayre, PA homeowner scheduled a free estimate with our office. Through cracks in the foundation wall and through the dirt basement floor, water is leaking into their basement. Moisture levels were high due to excessive water seepage, causing the wooden joists to rot. To make sure that the problem was properly addressed, a full inspection was carried out to determine the extent of the damages. As a result of the inspection, a recommendation was made to fix the problem and prevent the seepage of water in the future.

Our expert inspector recommended to the homeowner that installing a basement wall vapor barrier system, an interior perimeter drainage system, a high quality sump pump, and a basement dehumidifier is the most effective solution to these foundation wall issues. The vapor barrier system works by preventing moisture from entering the basement walls and dirt floor. The perimeter drainage system collects any water that does enter the basement walls and diverts it to the sump pump, where it can be removed from the house. It is also essential to ensure the basement air is healthy and dry with a high-performance basement dehumidifier.
