Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Sealing and Encapsulating a Wet Crawlspace in Carbondale, IL
Water and moisture were entering a crawlspace in Carbondale, IL, causing several issues. To solve these problems, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth and reduce the humidity level. Any mold growth will also be eliminated, making the whole house healthier. The white color will also brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside it. Additionally, a dimpled polyethylene membrane was installed underneath CleanSpace. This will create an air space that will allow water to flow to the Smart Sump System. This system is designed to fit into the crawlspace and will pump out any water that enters it. Lastly, a vent cover was installed. This cover features an airtight seal that will prevent uncontrolled air from entering the crawlspace and will help control the indoor environment. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain clean and dry for years to come!
