Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing and Stabilizing a Crawlspace in Jackson, MO
Water was entering a crawlspace in Jackson, MO, and the beams above were becoming unstable. To solve these issues, 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. Next, a SaniDry Sedona was 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.
Additionally, the Turtl Crawlspace Access System was installed. This will provide clean and convenient access to the below-grade crawlspace. Made from rigid plastic, it will never rot, rust, corrode, or need paint. Lastly, the SmartJack System was installed. These steel support systems can permanently stabilize and level the floor joists and girders in the crawlspace. These add strength and stability to the existing columns and piers. They are unaffected by moisture, as they will not rust, weaken, or be affected by mold. These will lift the floors above back toward their original position and reduce floor “bounce” caused by excessive joist spans. This crawlspace will now forever remain dry and stable thanks to these systems!
