Preinstall of Crawl Space
During the inspection, Ed photographed and measured the crawl space, taking note of the problem areas.
Crawl Space Before
The crawl space was leaking in water from the porous foundation.
Crawl Space Inspection
The home was losing energy from the various openings.
Damp Crawl Space
Under the vapor barrier, the ground was damp. This was causing mold to grow as well.
Clean Crawl Space
For this project, we cleared out the old vapor barriers and insulation to encapsulate the crawl space and leave the space dry and usable. Encapsulation will help retain energy, help insulate, and seal out the draft.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Not all crawl space vapor barriers are created equal. CleanSpace is made of 20 mil thick material, compared to the usual 6 mil. That means better protection and durability.
Encapsulation
Encapsulation includes covering the vents, caulking the edges, and sealing the penetrations.
Sealed Crawl Space
CleanSpace helps keep mold, moisture, and pests out.
Crawl Space Waterproofing
Underneath this aesthetically pleasing CleanSpace is a super-effective crawl space drainage system.
Drainage Piping
Since we want to make sure water would not accumulate under the CleanSpace, we installed 128 feet of drainage piping along the perimeter of the foundation. The piping is perforated to capture leaks with ease.
Sump Pump System
Our sump pump systems are made with Zoeller cast-iron pumps. We installed this SuperSump Plus, which has two cast-iron pumps in one airtight basket.
SuperSump Plus
SuperSump Plus systems are capable of expelling over 2220 gallons of water per hour from the crawl space if needed!
CleanSpace
Along with reducing moisture, the CleanSpace moisture barrier helps reduce humidity, too!
Controlling Humidity
If you have the peanut butter, you need the jelly. Our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier goes hand-in-hand with the CleanSpace Encapsulation System to ensure humidity is low enough to prevent mold.
Our Crawl Space System
We completely transformed the once damp space into a clean and healthy one. Best of all, the work is guaranteed.
