Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing a Crawlspace in Jacksonville, IL
Water was entering a crawlspace in Jacksonville, IL, causing damage and concern to the homeowners. 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.
Lastly, a vent cover was installed. This goes over the old vent for a clean-looking finish. It is made of durable plastic, so it will never rust, rot, or need paint. It also has foam insulation on the inside to seal off the outside air completely. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain dry all the time!
