Photo Album: Protecting and Waterproofing a Crawl Space in Cement City, MI

We received a call from David after he discovered excess moisture in his crawl space. He realized this area lacked proper encapsulation to protect against water intrusion. Our team at Ayers suggested our drainage matting, CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and SmartSump after an inspection. David is thrilled to receive professional help to keep his crawl space dry.

David's Crawl Space Before the Repair

Here is an inside look at David's messy crawl space before our installations. Encapsulation was needed to keep the area protected and in better shape.

Drainage Matting Placed Under the Liner

We first placed the drainage matting on the crawl space floor to provide a channel for any water leaks to flow to the sump pump. The dimpled mat goes under the crawl space liner we installed next.

CleanSpace Liner Provides Airtight Encapsulation

Next, we laid the CleanSpace liner on the floor and walls of the crawl space. CleanSpace provides airtight encapsulation and has a vapor barrier, preventing damp soil from invading the area. With the airtight seal and without the moisture buildup, outside critters and mold no longer have a habitable space to flourish.

SmartSump Keeps Water Leaks Outside the Home

SmartSump is a unique sump pump system meant for crawl spaces. The SmartSump comes equipped with the Zoeller 1/3 horsepower pump capable of pumping 2,500 gallons per hour.

Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier Creates Clean and Dry Air

With the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed, David's crawl space will have clean, dry air. Having clean air reduces the likelihood of mold and musty smells, all while reducing electricity costs over time. Sanidry Sedona is the world's most efficient, highest-performance dehumidifier and filtration system.
