Transformed Crawl Space
This crawl space is now encapsulated with CleanSpace, isolating the home from the damp earth. CleanSpace is permanently held in place, providing a reliable environment. CleanSpace will never mold or puncture, keeps out critters and provides stable humidity levels. David and Bonny now have a healthier home and comfortable living space.
Before Debris Removal in Mount Vernon, WA
We removed all the wood pieces, rocks, fallen insulation and other rubble shown in this picture before installing the drainage and encapsulation system.
Old Matted Liner in Mount Vernon, Washington
The black liner shown here had mold, rips and a loose improperly sealed layout. It was soaked with water puddles and was caked with dirt and other matter.
Old Broken Liner in Mount Vernon
Unlike CleanSpace, the previous liner was not designed to withhold a clean environment. As shown, the old liner was molding, leaking and not sealed properly. CleanSpace has 7 durable layers, is manufactured with an antimicrobial additive, is puncture resistant, has great flexibility and is always securely installed with drilled-in fasteners, making it so that something like this never happens.
Old Rust Damage in Mount Vernon, Washington
The water on the floors and moisture in the air created a perfect environment for rust and corrosion.
New CleanSpace Liner Installed in Mount Vernon
20 mil. thick and flexible, CleanSpace provides a smooth reliable seal to avoid humidity, condensation, mold, wood rot, insects and other critters, cold floors, higher heating/cooling costs, odors and upstairs drafts. CleanSpace will give David and Bonny a comfortable and healthy home.
Old Water Leakage
Water was coming in at the base of the walls, contributing the leakage, water damage and mold.
Before Vents Were Installed
The home owners had 13 open vents around their crawl space, letting in water, moisture, bugs and other pests.
Old Wide-Open Vents Installed in Mount Vernon
As seen in this picture, the vents were wide open, inviting in all kinds of unwanted bugs and water. To the right, you can see some of the many large spider eggs that covered the crawl space walls and ceiling.
WaterWatch Floor Alarm
David and Bonny can now relax knowing that if they were to have a future leaking issue, an alarm will sound until water is no longer touching the base sensors of the WaterWatch.
Old Sump Pump
This pump here was installed by another company. The homeowners said that it was replaced a year ago when the previous one broke, and that they could hear it pumping often when it was working. It quit again on them, and they were seeking out a reliable drainage system.
TripleSafe and Floor Alarm Installed
The TripleSafe has a primary pump and backup pump, allowing for a backup plan if the first pump fails or excessive water is coming in that one pump cannot handle alone. The first pump can output 2,018 gallons of water per hour, and together the pumps can remove up to 6,299 gallons! Also, with its battery backup system, the TripleSafe can continue pumping even in a power outage which commonly happen in storms. Connected to it is a WaterWatch Floor Alarm that will tell the owners if water is leaking on their floor again.
Old Moldy Ceiling
The atmosphere of the old crawl space gave mold/mildew everything it needed to grow and fester. Bugs such as spiders like rotting materials like wood. As the picture shows, spiders were making themselves cozy in the muck.
Spider Infestation in Crawl Space
The moldy environment attracted bugs such as spiders, and the 13 open vents around the crawl space welcomed them right in.
New Clean Insulation Installed in Mount Vernon
We placed SilverGlo and CleanSpace on the walls after we cleaned them. With their inorganic properties, these durable items will keep the prior water damage and pest invasion problems from happening. The installed vent covers and EverLast Door will also keep the crawl space clean and healthy.
Old Clogged Vent
The open vents created entrances for dust, dirt, water, pests and more. Also seen in the picture are large spider eggs which were found all over the crawl space.
Old Falling Insulation
Fiberglass insulation likes to get everywhere, creating a mess and dispersing micro pieces of fiberglass that can irritate our eyes, skin and lungs. Unlike fiberglass insulation that is an inadequate and messy insulator, SilverGlo and CleanSpace will give any house a clean and efficient seal.
