This crawl space was very damp leading to deterioration and a musty smell. You can see the rusty parts on the metal ducts in the crawl space from moisture exposure, which we wanted to stop. We decided to encapsulate by installing CleanSpace liner all over the walls and floors of the crawl space, as well as wrapping them over the concrete piers. Not pictured is a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which does a lot of the heavy lifting. Also important to note, this crawl space was not experiencing any ground water leaks, so waterproofing was deemed unnecessary.
The crawlspace in this home was beginning to rot and build mold. We went in to encapsulate, and waterproof. We installed CleanSpace matting, a SaniDry Sedona, a SmartSump, a Turtl cover, and a SmartJack XT.
Do you have a sinking, moisture ridden crawl space? These two problems can work in a tandem to destroy your upstairs finishing, leaving gaps between cabinets and the floors. When we inspected the crawl space, we noticed the concrete piers were sinking into the ground, and the humidity levels were high. We fixed both the problems by encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace moisture barrier, and by installing SmartJack posts under the sagging main beams to stop the crawl space from sinking.
This crawl space was open to the earth, and as well all know, was allowing moisture from the dirt to slowly deteriorate the newer crawl space. These customers made a good call by completing this project early on in the crawl space's life. The Clean Space moisture barrier and the Smart Jack posts will be keeping this crawl space new looking for a long long time.
This home had a failed crawl space that was comprised of mold, water, and rot. We cleaned it up by removing the rot, installing CleanSpace and SilverGlo, insulating the rim joists, and plopping down a SaniDry Sedona with a SmartPump. This crawl space is now healthy again.
