Humidity Havoc in Crawl Space
The fiberglass insulation falling down in the background (which happens when it gets heavy from absorbing moisture in the air), the discolored beam, and the mold on the walls all result from humidity.
Mold and Mildew on Crawl Space Wall
Standing water in a crawl space lead to what you see here, mold and mildew buildup. This is what's responsible for that musty smell.
Crawl Space Vents Encourage Water and Nightmares
Do not vent your crawl space! You're just inviting water, outside air (which then messes with the temperature of your house), and all types of critters inside.
High Humidity in Crawl Space Can Cause Problems
Ambient moisture, or humidity, doesn't only occur when it's warm outside. It's below 50 degrees in this crawl space but the relative humidity is still 82%. Mold thrives above 70% humidity.
Closeup of Gunk and Debris Filled Drain
It's not hard to figure out why this crawl space has standing water when you get a close look at the only water evacuation system.
Overflowing, Clogged Crock in Crawl Space
Yuck. This crawl space had constant water problems because the only way out was full of water, debris, and whatever that slime is.
Super Sump Clears Water Without Clogs
Sorry for the slight blur, here - it's dark in a crawl space - but look at how much more effective this sump pump will be, solely for the reason that it is not, and doesn't have the capability to be, filled with gunk! The lid and airtight discharge connection allow water to enter while keeping everything else out, and expedite said water out into the yard.
Lawnscape Outlet Provides Unobtrusive Discharge Point
We extend the discharge to work with the grading of your property and release the water in the most effective spot. By putting a Lawnscape outlet on the end of the discharge line, we can do this without creating trip (or lawnmower) hazards.
IceGuard Prevents Winter Backup
In the winter, discharge lines can freeze underground. With some systems, this might lead to water backing up into the crawl space. With our IceGuard, the water is instead sprayed through the grate seen here and will not end up in your house.
Vent Covers Protect Crawl Space from the Elements
Covering the crawl space vents prevents water, debris, and vermin from entering and wreaking havoc on your crawl space.
CleanSpace Creates a Clean, Dry Crawl Space
Instead of water, dirt and mold, this crawl space only has clean, dry space that you don't need to be afraid to walk on.
