Greenserve Offers Crawlspace Waterproofing In Salisbury, Spencer And East Spencer

Greenserve, a company based in Salisbury, North Carolina, has announced that they are offering crawlspace waterproofing service to prevent mold growth in homes and other properties in Salisbury, Spencer, and East Spencer area. They provide technical assistance on home performance issues regarding heat loss, moisture, and indoor air quality. They utilize infrared scanning, diagnostic equipment, and their own knowledge and experience to search for problems and come up with the appropriate solutions.

Garrett Bean, co-owner of Greenserve, explains, “Greenserve, originally G&S Quality Insulation, is a full-service basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and home performance company that has been in operation since 2014. Once the problems are found we develop a scope of work, assist in securing rebates and tax credits, and eliminate the issue for good!”

An important service provided by Greenserve is the provision of a healthy basement. This requires basement waterproofing provided by the company’s waterproofing experts. They focus on the seven common areas where water can enter the basement and/or foundation. These are the basement floor and wall joints; basement floor cracks; between the foundation footing and foundation wall; below the foundation footing; foundation wall cracks; and window wells. Some of the reasons for the entry of water are poorly compacted soil, foundation setting, hydrostatic pressure, and clogged or poor drainage system.

To waterproof the basement, Greenserve installs a closed drain system that uses a vapor barrier on the basement walls that brings the penetrating water to a sub-floor drainage system. This sub-floor drainage system collects the water in a sump pump tank. A powerful, patented sump pump from Greenserve pumps the water outside and away from the home. The result is a dry basement that avoids health problems that can arise from a wet or damp basement.

Meanwhile, Greenserve also offers crawl space repair and encapsulation. A crawl space is basically a small basement. In homes, these crawlspaces are located close to the living areas so that moisture and unsafe air can enter the home, resulting in potential health hazards.

One component of the solution offered by Greenserve for a wet or musty smelling crawlspace is the crawl space drainage system. This is used when there is standing water. They will install a perimeter drainage system before the encapsulation. They will then run the drainage system into their GrateSump™ Sump Pump System to get rid of the water from the crawl space.

Another component is the DimpleShield drainage matting. This dimpled plastic material may be utilized on high footings or concrete floors to help with crawl space drainage repairs.

Meanwhile, most crawl spaces are vented because of old building codes. It is now known that venting a crawl space causes big problems and thus, it is necessary to seal any vents or areas where outside air is able to get in. For this, Greenserve has patented crawl space vent covers to solve the problem.

Greenserve may also use the CrawlShield™ Encapsulation System to complete the process of sealing the crawl space. This will completely get rid of any odors and vapors rising from the ground. Aside from providing a layer of protection between the dirt floor and the living space, this encapsulation system can also help reduce the home’s heating bills.

And finally, there is the crawl space dehumidification system. This is needed because after the area has been sealed, the moisture level will have to be controlled and maintained at a relative humidity that is lower than 50 percent.

Greenserve is a local crawl space, basement, and home energy expert serving Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and the Piedmont Triad in North Carolina. They have more than 25 years of combined experience in offering custom designed basement waterproofing and crawl space waterproofing systems including effective building envelope systems for new construction and the retrofit of older homes and business establishments.
