We got a call from this concerned homeowner regarding water in their crawl space. They set up their free estimate and inspection to have their concerns addressed. We sent out one of our knowledgeable system design specialist and he thoroughly inspected the crawl space. When he was done, we met with the homeowner to go over the best options to stop water from entering their home. After going over the estimate, the homeowners decided to move forward with the project. We began by removing all of the debris, including the fiberglass insulation and old vapor barrier. Next, we dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space in which we then lay a 3 inch perforated pipe into a silt sock that will secure a safe passage for the water to drain to the lowest point. At this low point, we install our SuperSump Plus that will collect all of the water and pump it outside and away from the foundation via discharge line. We then install our Turtl access. This will create entry into the crawl space and can be locked when not in use. To create an insulated barrier between the home and the earth, we install our TerraBlock system directly on the dirt floor. We anchor our CleanSpace system into the foundation walls, up to the rim joists and install it all on-top of our TerraBlock system. We also use a bottle jack to raise the posts to install some of our CleanSpace between the footing and the wooden posts and it is then sealed with our waterproof tape. Next, we make sure to cover and seal all of the vents to prevent outside air from entering.
To control the environment, we install our SaniDry Sedona. This effective dehumidifier will dry and filter the air to eliminate damp and musty odors. This will also keep the home at a healthy relative humidity. Lastly, we install our spray foam insulation directly on the foundation walls up to the rim joists to guarantee a complete airtight seal. This crawl space is now fully protected against water, rodents and mold.
