Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing a Moldy Crawlspace in New Athens, IL
Moisture was entering a crawlspace in New Athens, IL, causing mold to grow around it. 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. Additionally, the SmartSump System was installed. This system is designed just for crawlspaces and will pump out any water that enters it. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water.
Next, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the crawlspace. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the SmartSump, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Lastly, a vent cover was installed. This airtight cover will stop letting uncontrolled air into the crawlspace, helping control the indoor environment. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will stay dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!
