Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing and Stabilizing a Crawlspace in Bethalto, IL
Water was getting in a crawlspace in Bethalto, IL, causing mold to grow. It was also becoming unstable, causing even more concern. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was first installed. This will isolate the crawlspace from the ground. It also controls water, humidity, outside air infiltration, and heat loss. The white finish will brighten the crawlspace and make it easier to see inside. the crawlspace was also big enough to install a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed to protect from all three problems that may occur. The TripleSafe is equipped to handle pump failure, extra water volume from hard rain, and a battery for power outages that may occur. The battery is the UltraSump Pump System and is a perfect addition to give homeowners that extra protection. Additionally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This dehumidification system protects the crawlspace from mold and mildew by controlling the relative humidity. Lastly, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in a crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry and stable for years to come!
