Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Humidity and Moisture in a Crawl Space in Mt. Carmel, IL

Whenever a crawl space is allowing humidity and moisture to enter the space, it will eventually rise to the home above it. A dilemma such as this was happening in Mt. Carmel, IL. Whenever temperatures are between 32 and 100 and the relative humidity is between 70% and 99%, mold can thrive. When mold grows, it reproduces more airborne seeds to grow more mold, which is why it is crucial to remove it before it affects a homeowner's health. All mold is scrubbed and sprayed away through mold remediation. A trench is made beside the sides of the crawl space to allow any water to not overflow the crawl space floor. Brown matting, called Dimple matting, is laid throughout the space to create a flow toward the sump pump that will be installed in the ground. A SmartSump pump will continuously pump out any excess water that enters the crawl space. A white, pool-like liner called CleanSpace is put over the Dimple matting, creating a clean and healthy space for the family!
