Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Damp and Moldy Crawlspace Encapsulated in Marissa, IL
Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Marissa, IL, allowing mold to grow. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. A SmartSump was also installed. This sump system is designed just for crawlspaces and will pump out any water that enters it. An UltraSump was also installed on this system. This system will take over and pump the water out if the power happens to fail. Lastly, a TimeMachine Data Logger was installed. This system takes the guesswork out of sump pump maintenance. It will record and report up to ten years of data like battery status, power outages, relative humidity, and temperature history, and connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth to make it easy to review a date range of usage history. This will make it easier to spot potential problems early to help avoid water damage. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry and clean for years to come!
