Photo Album: Water puddles in the Crawl Space in Newburgh, IN
A homeowner in Newburgh, IN, had water puddles throughout the space, causing the flooring to be muddy. Due to the humidity and moisture, a few mold spores were spotted on the wooden beams. Water vapor kept flowing up from the soil, causing the water to build up. If this keeps happening, water may eventually flood the crawl space, causing bigger issues for the home. The homeowner was ready o transform the crawl space into a dry and usable space.
To prevent future water vapor from disrupting the crawl space's environment, CleanSpace is laid throughout the floor and walls. It will allow water to drain from the walls and floor to the sump location. CleanSpace is treated with an antimicrobial ingredient so mold and bacteria will not grow on it. SmartSump is put in to continuously pump water out by itself. It has a pump alarm to alert if the sump pump may fail or bring awareness if the crawl space is flooding. Any mold was removed through mold remediation. The crawl space gave the homeowner peace of mind to know that their space is safe from water and mold.
