CleanSpace Wall Barrier Puts an End to Leaks in Ludington, MI

The owners of this Ludington, MI home had grown accustomed to water leakage from their walls and overflow in the drainage area. After all, it had been a regular occurrence in their basement during heavy rains and snow melt, and with all the construction that was happening to their home, they didn’t have a chance to do anything about it. But since the construction was finally complete, they wanted to put an end to the leaks once and for all. The after photo shows how our crew was able to do so.

The white liner covering the walls is the CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier. Impenetrable by moisture, the liner separates the leaking wall from the rest of the basement as it escorts water down to a drainage system at the foot of the wall. The drainage system, WaterGuard, sits in the foot and wall joint around the perimeter of the basement to collect water and direct it to the SuperSump system in the after photo. Capable of discharging over 2,000 gallons of water per hour, the SuperSump will be able to stand up to any rainfall or melting snow that the basement encounters.

Removing Moisture From Damp Ludington, MI Crawl Space

John G. contacted us because he noticed a musty odor coming from his crawl space that was located under his sun porch. There was mold found in the space in the past, and the homeowner wanted to encapsulate the area and prevent further issues. The open vents and sand floor in the crawl space was allowing moisture to easily enter, which was the cause of the high humidity levels, musty smell and mold growth. We used the CleanSpace liner to fully encapsulate the space. The liner was waterproof and vapor proof, which prevented excess moisture from occupying the area. We also installed vent covers to create an airtight seal between the crawl space and the outside world. To insulate the space we installed FrothPak spray foam. This spray foam insulation doesn’t absorb ambient moisture like fiberglass insulation and is made of inorganic materials that will not lead to mold growth.
