Crawl Space Entrance
A look at the entrance of this crawl space. Most crawl space entrances are only a few feet wide and can be located just about anywhere in the home.
Pooling Water
With water seeping into the area it has no where to go so it has started to pool in areas. This crawl space will definitely need a sump pump to be sure any water is directed away from the home.
Encapsulation
When we encapsulate a crawl space, we use our vapor barrier from top to bottom like you see here. Everything is encapsulated.
Vapor Barrier
We like to think of our CleanSpace® as a pool liner in a sense. It's a thick 20 mil poly sheet that is fastened to the top of the rim joist on top of the basement wall.
Encapsulating Piers
We fasten our effective vapor barrier around everything, including piers in the crawl space. This ensures everything stays dry.
Water Damage
Here you can see where water is starting to erode the bottom of the block foundation and the piers.
