Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Sealing And Waterproofing A Crawlspace In Greenville, IL
A crawlspace in Greenville, IL, had humid and wet conditions. It had water seepage on the ground that was affecting the quality living space of the home above. Woods came out to address these issues. The first installation was the CleanSpace system to seal off the space and protect it from water and humidity. It consists of a highly durable sheet of material that is placed directly on the walls and ground of the crawlspace. Not only does this help with the humidity, but this seal will also protect the crawlspace from rot, insects, and water. With this in place, the next issue was to access the collected water. Woods installed a new sump pump system called the UltraSump sump pump. This sump pump is specially designed to operate in high humidity environments like those found in a crawlspace. In addition, the homeowners also chose to install an extra battery-operated sump pump. This extra pump will activate in the event of a power outage. Thanks to Woods, this crawlspace will much dryer in the years to come.
