Steps for Fixing a Vented Dirt Crawl Space

Step 1: Fix any groundwater leakage problems by installing an interior drainage system.  The SmartSump is designed specifically for crawl spaces and is the perfect solution.

Step 2: Isolate the crawl space from the earth by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation System.  This seals up all of the walls and across the floor.  It helps keep the crawl space dry and prevents the soil from drying out and shrinking beneath the CrawlSpace liner.

Step 3: Seal off any outside air leaks, such as vents.  Vents only suck air in rather than letting moisture out, causing even more problems.  Sealing vents makes a drastic difference in the overall air leakage rate of your home.  Studies show that sealing vents in your crawl space can lower your heating and cooling costs by up to 20%.

Step 4: Dehumidify the air by installing a SaniDry CSB Crawl Space Air System.  Not just any dehumidifying machine will do.  This system is a high-performance machine that prevents any and all mold growth.  Your floor joists and girders won’t be weakened by mold and will stand strong to support your home.
