Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Sealing And Waterproofing A Crawlspace In Mount Olive, IL

A crawlspace in Mount Olive, Illinois, needed sealing and some waterproofing work done. There were high levels of humidity that needed to be contained as well as water seepage issues. To address these, Woods first installed the CleanSpace System. This consists of a highly durable sheet of material that is laid directly onto the floor and walls. It creates a seal between the earth and the crawlspace, protecting it from rot, insects, and humidity. After this installation was completed, Woods moved on to address the water issues by installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. 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 that 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. Lastly, Woods installed the SaniDry Dehumidifier. 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 area. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the TripleSafe, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these installs, this crawlspace will remain dry and humidity-free for decades to come.
