Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing a Flooded Crawlspace in Newton, IL
Water had entered a crawlspace in Newton, IL, causing damage. To prevent this from happening again, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first 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.
Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water.
Additionally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This efficient, high-capacity, 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 TripleSafe, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system.
An EverLast Crawlspace Door was also installed. This will seal off outside air, so it doesn't enter the crawlspace. It will never need paint, rust, or rot, so it will do its part in keeping the crawlspace dry.
Lastly, an EverLast Access Well was installed. This is big enough to crouch down and enter the crawlspace. This durable system won’t rust, rot, corrode, or need paint. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will now stay dry and clean for years to come!
