CleanSpace Saves Flooded Gladwin, MI Crawl Space

After intermittent water issues in the crawl space - regularly occurring but usually negligible amounts of water - our customer looked into his crawl space to find four inches of standing water.

We drained the water (the before picture is the immediate aftermath, where everything is still nice and soggy) and installed a Smart Sump to help with any future water accumulation, before encapsulating the crawl space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier system and drainage matting.

A Proven Sump Pump System in Gladwin, MI

The problems with this sump pump system began back in the spring when it was installed as a replacement. The owner was hoping that a new system would be the end of his crawl space troubles, but the sump continued to run after it had pumped all the water out. When the owner had someone come out to repair the pump, it resulted in the before photo.  Not only did the pump and liner come out of the original hole, the discharge line was also broken and sprayed water all over the pea stone ground. After the failure of a second sump pump system, the owner wanted a trusted system he could depend on and began researching sumps. When he found our sealed crock systems with backup pumps, he knew that his search had come to an end. The pump he chose to use in the after photo is our TripleSafe system with a twist. Instead of 3 pumps in the sump, the owner elected to remove the secondary ½ horsepower pump but kept the additional battery powered pump in case of power outages. This crawl space won’t have to worry about sump pump failure again.
