Water in Crawl Space
In the photo above, we can see the damage the water has done in the crawl space. The space cannot be used for storage, making the space a burden for the homeowner.
Attempts to Seal the Crawl Space
In this crawl space, the homeowner attempted to seal the window, to remove the excess outside air and water from entering the basement. Little did she know, Woods Basement Systems had a better solution to cover the window.
Before Waterproofing Crawl Space
Here in this photo, we see a large view of how damaged the crawl space is from water and being exposed to the earth.
The Solution
The first step to waterproofing a crawl space would be fixing the groundwater leakage. In order to fix this, we installed our SmartSump at the lowest point of the crawl space. The SmartSump collects any water on the ground and sends it up and out of the crawl space.
The Solution
After installing the SmartSump, we installed a IceGuard outside of the home that keeps the discharge lines clear and any water exiting will be far from the homes foundation. Next, we installed our WaterGuard system catching any water entering through the foundation walls, sending it to the SmartSump and out of the home.
The Solution
Previously, the homeowner had attempted to seal the window off from outside air to keep moisture out. Unfortunately it was not doing its job, we decided to install our CleanSpace cover and now moisture and water are sealed out of the space.
The Solution
The last measure we took in waterproofing this crawl space was installing our CleanSpace wall system on the floors and walls of the crawl space. The liner seals the space away from the earth, and also creates a usable storage space for homeowners.
