Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing a Damp Crawlspace in Norris City, IL
Water was entering a crawlspace in Norris City, IL, creating a damp environment and allowing mold to grow. 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.
Next, 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.
A SaniDry Sedona was also 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!
