Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Lansing, MI Crawl Space Receives a Much Needed Makeover

Jerry R. called because when he first bought his house, the inspector told him there was water in his crawl space. There are many reasons his crawl space was wet or damp, all of which our team of experts could fix. The first problem was that his home has a dirt crawl space, which is constantly letting water vapor enter through the exposed earth. The space was also vented, which is a big no because any outside elements can easily enter the space. A vent can let in rain, hot air in the summer, cold air in the winter, and an abundance of moisture due to humidity. Lastly, the space had no way to collect and discard any existing water from the space. In order to fully water and vapor proof his space we installed the CleanSpace liner, a SmartSump sump pump, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier, the IceGuard system, a Lawnscape outlet, vent covers, SilverGlo insulation and FrothPak spray foam insulation.

Exposed Earth Within a Crawl Space

A dirt crawl space allows water vapor to easily enter the space creating a substantial amount of moisture in the space. Not to mention if there is any standing water present, the water will create puddles until it eventually evaporates and enters the air as water vapor.

Vented Crawl Space Lets in Outside Elements

A vent within a crawl space can let in hot, cold, and humid air as well as rain and snow, which can lead to a damp or wet crawl space.

Drainage Matting Drains Water Into Sump Pump

Drainage matting is installed in a crawl space to ensure any water located under the CleanSpace liner can efficiently make its way to the SuperSump to then be discarded from the space.

SuperSump Sump Pump Keeps Crawl Space Dry

A SuperSump sump pump is installed in your crawl space to collect and discard any existing water from the space. This will ensure any water is filtered out of your home whether it is because of a small ground water leak or a severe flood.

SaniDry CX Diminishes Water Vapor in Crawl Space

The SaniDry CX is a great addition for your damp crawl space because it removes any moisture from the air and replaces it with filtered dry air.

SilverGlo and FrothPak Effectively Insulate Crawl Space

SilverGlo is a foam insulation made up of small graphite particles that serve as a radiant barrier to reflect heat back into the crawl space, which in the end will save you in energy costs. FrothPak is a spray foam waterproof insulation that will both insulate your crawl space and prevent any water from entering the space through holes or cracks.

Crawl Space Waterproofed With CleanSpace

CleanSpace is a waterproof, durable liner that encapsulates a crawl space to ensure water and moisture can not enter the space. It is fitted perfectly to your crawl space and is securely fastened to the walls so you can enter the space as much as you need without worrying about the liner coming undone.
