Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Moisture Barrier in Albion, IL
Homeowner John B., in Albion, IL started noticing water building up in his crawl space. If left alone, humidity and excess moisture can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. Crawl space moisture often migrates upstairs through the "stack effect," contributing to structural damage, musty odors, and high energy bills.
Our team first had to go in and perform mold remediation. Next, our team installed a waterproofing system in the crawl space that included a SmartSump Crawl Space sump pump system and EZ Flow Drainage. The last step was to install a durable vapor barrier made of a 20-mil material similar to a pool liner called CleanSpace. CleanSpace® 20 mil vapor barrier is puncture and tears resistant. An anti-microbial agent is blended into the liner to kill mold and bacteria. John will now have peace of mind knowing that his crawl space in Albion, IL is clean and dry.
Before
The crawl space consisted of humidity and moisture due to the space not being properly sealed.
SmartSump
The SmartSump will prevent moisture in the crawl space by pumping out water that enters the basement under the CleanSpace liner.
SaniDry Sedona
The SaniDry Sedona is a high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system, with air filtration, in a single unit.
CleanSpace
CleanSpace completely seals off the crawl space from the outdoor air. Outdoor air will compromise the health of the crawl space by allowing moisture and humidity to take over.
