Crawl Space Inspection
Initially, the homeowners were looking for a vapor barrier, floor leveling, and insulation in this crawl space.
Crawl Space Inspection
We found a lot of water under the home that needed to be fixed.
Crawl Space Inspection
Prior to installing vapor barrier, it is important to make sure water can properly drain underneath to prevent mold growth and bad odors from lingering.
Crawl Space Inspection
This particular crawl space had rodent problems in the past, and the insulation was quite old.
Crawl Space Inspection
The open design of their existing sump pump was clogging and rusted.
SmartJacks
To address the sagging floors in the home, we cleaned out the crawl space and installed 7 SmartJack supports. Below the SmartJack is a deep hole filled with gravel called the "Bulb of Influence." This helps to stabilize the support and prevents settling.
Crawl Space Vent Covers
Covering the vents is part of the encapsulation process to help stop moisture and humidity from entering the crawl space.
Crawl Space Access
Here is a view into the crawl space from inside the home.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Prior to this encapsulation, we installed 214 feet of perforated piping along the inside perimeter of the crawl space. This helps us capture leaks from the footing/wall joint.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
We installed 1440 square feet of our CleanSpace vapor barrier as part of the encapsulation process.
Crawl Space Moisture Barrier & Support
CleanSpace is wrapped around the supports and piers, and attached to the walls and floors to seal the space. Encapsulating will create a healthy and controlled environment under the home.
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier
We inserted this SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to purify the air from mold and keep humidity low. Our system is energy efficient and automatic.
TripleSafe Sump Pump System
Before, the sump pump was open and clogged. Now, they have this TripleSafe sump pump system to help prevent flooding/discharge water. It has three pumps in a single airtight basket, and it can handle a high volume of water easily. TripleSafe continues working, even during power outages, using a battery backup pump.
SmartJack
Our SmartJacks are fully-adjustable and made of galvanized steel with zinc coating to prevent corrosion.
Finished Crawl Space Repair
This completed crawl space project will keep the home safe and protected long-term.
