Crawl Space Inspection
During our initial visit, we assessed the crawl space to see what was causing their water issues.
Moisture in Crawl Space
Under the home, there was water, rodents, mold, and wood rot.
Health & Air Quality
The homeowners indicated that air quality and the health of the home were important to them. They were dealing with respiratory issues, and wanted safe, controlled environment.
Rotting Wood Post
Due to the moisture, a post supporting the spiral staircase was starting to rot.
Existing Sump Pump
Their existing sump pump left them high and (not-so) dry and water was accumulating in the crawl space.
New & Improved
First, we came and cleaned out the crawl space. David Nush led the Production crew for this project.
Interior Crawl Space Drainage
We dug drainage trenches to install 278 feet of piping along the perimeter of the wall and footing.
CleanSpace Encapsulation
We encapsulated the crawl space in 1540 square feet of CleanSpace.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
Using CleanSpace, we seal, tape, and caulk all edges and penetrations. Our encapsulation system protects the home from mold, moisture, and high humidity.
Durability
CleanSpace is a 20mil material reinforced with cord to resist punctures and tears.
Foamax Insulation
We installed 624 square feet of our Foamax Wall System. Foamax is waterproof and helps insulate this taller than average crawl space.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
To replace the old pump that was flooding and open, we installed our TripleSafe sump pump system. With three pumps in one airtight basket, flooding is a thing of the past. It also has a battery backup to ensure the system continues working even during a power failure.
