Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Crawl Space Spruced Up With CleanSpace

This creepy, cobweb-filled crawl space was just as damp as the adjacent basement. Our experienced team visited the home to work on both areas to make them dry. We cleaned up the crawl space before installing CleanSpace, a moisture barrier to keep water out, and installed WaterGuard, a subfloor drainage system, along with a new sump pump in the basement to do the same.

Cobwebs in Crawl Space

The cobwebs in this crawl space are an indicator that the homeowners probably don't enter the space frequently. Not only will CleanSpace clean up and seal off the crawl space, but it can transform the area into a usable space for storage.

Moisture in CrawlSpace

You can see that water is coming in through the cinderblock foundation in this corner of the crawl space, and the dirt floor is damp from this.

CrawlSpace Vent

Most older homes have a vented crawl space, which was originally thought to dry out the crawl space. Instead, it lets unwanted air and moisture in, so its best that these vents are sealed.

Wet Basment

The moisture in the basement is apparent just by looking at the bottom of the wall.

Drainage Matting

Dimpled matting is installed beneath the CleanSpace liner to allow any water that enters to flow across the matting to the sump pump.

CleanSpace and SilverGlo

SilverGlo insulation panels reflect heat back into the space, while spray foam insulation seals the small spaces where outside air is entering the space. CleanSpace provides a durable moisture barrier and dramatically brightens the space.

WaterGuard in Basement

WaterGuard installed along the footing of the basement collects any water that may come in through the walls and reroutes it to the sump pump. The SuperSump then effectively pumps the water out of the basement through a discharge line.
