What Other Waterproofing Solutions Does Tar Heel Basement Systems Offer?

Besides different sump pump installations and a dehumidifier, Tar Heel Basement Systems offers other innovative waterproofing solutions for your home. Our CrawlSeal™ vapor barrier can be applied to the walls and floor of your crawl space to fully encapsulate it and completely separate it from the soil. For basements, WallSeal™ is applied to the walls, giving it a sleek, clean look. Our vapor barriers are 20-mil thick and consist of 7 layers of polyethylene. It prevents cold air and water vapor from seeping its way into the space and keeps it as dry and warm as possible.

Without a vapor barrier, your crawl space or basement’s humidity will remain high. The resulting condensation, insects, mold growth, and wood rot will not be pleasant to deal with and they will destroy your home’s foundation. It’s not enough to have a single dehumidifier take care of the moisture in the air, especially in a place like Hickory, where the precipitation is frequent and the soil is always saturated. If you want to keep your home’s sub-level clean and energy efficient, we’ve got you covered.

Speaking of energy efficiency, our ExTremeBloc™ insulation panel is another life-changing product we can install in your crawl space. Because of the stack effect, 50% of the air you breathe in your home comes from the sub-level. During the summer, hot air enters your home and leaves it during the winter, making it very difficult for your AC and HVAC to do their job without consuming a drastic amount of energy. Your high energy bill problems can be solved with highly efficient crawl space insulation that keeps the air trapped in the space. With an R-value of 11 per inch, our ExTremeBloc™ insulation panel is the best in the industry.
