Waterlogged Crawl Space
The staining on the walls and warped beams is indicative of longstanding water issues in this crawl space.
Flooded Coldwater Crawl Space
This isn't what you want to find in the crawl space of your newly purchased cottage. The sump pump had stopped working and the resulting flooding turned this crawl space into a muddy mess.
Evil Crawl Space Vent
Next to the access door, you can clearly see the dreaded crawl space vent. These things are outdated and cause a world of problems in crawl spaces by letting in water, wind, and debris.
Flooded Sump Pump in Crawl Space
Well. This certainly isn't doing its job. One of the big problems with coverless sump pumps is that they're susceptible to clogging or breaking from debris.
CleanSpace Turns Flooded Crawl Space into Clean, Dry Space
What was once murky, dirty, and wet, is now dry, usable space.
CleanSpace Installation in Progress
With drainage matting on the ground and CleanSpace on the walls, we're in progress of fully encapsulating the crawl space.
SmartSump Pump Stays on Top of Standing Water
With an actually working sump pump (that has a cover), any incoming water will be swiftly evacuated.
SaniDry Keeps Humidity Down
For ambient moisture issues, a SaniDry dehumidifier will keep the space dry and prevent mold.
Discharge Lines
Discharge lines from the sump pump go all the way outside to discharge water away from the house.
Wrapping Support Piers Adds Extra Protection
In addition to encapsulating the walls and floor, we wrap the support piers to keep every part of the crawl space protected.
Drainage Matting Speeds Process
By installing this dimpled drainage matting between the ground and the CleanSpace material, the water has an easier time funneling to the sump pump.
A Clean Space with CleanSpace
Doesn't this look light years better than the dark, flooded crawl space?
IceGuard Protects Against Backups
In the winter, discharge lines can freeze, which can cause water to back up into the crawl space. The IceGuard system provides an 'escape route' for water meeting a frozen discharge line, which means no flooded crawl space.
