Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing a Damp Crawlspace in Edwardsville, IL
Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Edwardsville, IL, creating a damp and musty environment. 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 just the right size to fit in the crawlspace and still can collect plenty of water from the home and sudden groundwater problems beneath the liner.
Additionally, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will stay dry and clean all the time!
