Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Preventing Standing Water Damage in Harbor Springs

Paul's Crawspaces had evidence of previous standing water and a musty smell. This usually means mold is not far behind. To help, our team installed discharge lines to carry the water away from the house and drainage matting a dimpled membrane that goes between the floor and CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that protects your home from moisture and creates a more energy-efficient space. The result was a dry and more finished-looking crawl space. This space can now be used for things like storage, and the house is ready for renters in the summer.

Evidence of Standing Water

Without a strong drainage system, water will gather in your crawl space. Our team detected evidence of standing water in the space due to the absence of a strong drainage system and barrier to catch the water that may leak in from higher walls and floors.

Before CleanSpace

Before Cleanspace this crawl space is unusable. After installation, this space can become usable and have a more finished look.

Water is Carried Away From The House

Discharge lines are installed to ensure that water is carried away from the house to prevent unwanted moisture in your space.

Extra Drainage

Drainage matting provides extra prevention against standing water by acting as a dimpled membrane underneath CleanSpace. This is so it is easier for water to get to the sump pump and drain out of the space.
