Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Vapor Barrier in Marion, KY

In Marion, KY, a homeowner was interested in purchasing a vapor barrier and insulation for their crawl space. Without a vapor barrier, mold and water could damage the crawl space. Whenever there is a vapor barrier, it will protect the environment of the crawl space by keeping all gaps or air from entering the space. The key to a healthy crawl space is to make it dry! The reason for making a crawl space dry is because mold spores and water will not be able to thrive in this type of environment. A bright white liner called CleanSpace never fails to save the day! CleanSpace was used to cover the entire floor and sides of the space to create an "indoor" atmosphere. A dehumidifier called the SaniDry Sedona effectively crates a dry airflow 24/7. A SmartSump Pump is installed to remove any water entering the crawl space. The homeowner was pleasantly satisfied with a functional system set in place to continuously create a healthy environment.

EverLast Crawl Space Door

The EverLast crawl space door was installed to ensure that the crawl space wouldn't be a welcoming space for future issues.

SmartSump Pump

The SmartSump Pump is put in the ground to pump out water that enters the crawl space.

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation such as this is useless when humidity enters the crawl space. Humidity and moisture will damage the insulation, leaving it to hang down from the ceiling. It is best to remove any Fiberglass insulation.

Dimple matting

Dimple matting is laid across the crawl space before the CleanSpace is put on top. Dimple matting helps direct water to the SmartSump Pump and also adds an extra layer of protection for the CleanSpace.
