Leitchfield, KY Discharge Line Installation

Before	After

One of the most important features of a good sump pump system is the discharge line.  The Healthy Spaces installation team is putting in solid, rigid PVC discharge line.  A rigid discharge line will not crush or deform when the fill soils are replaced and the soil is tamped down.  Second, a good discharge system needs to be resistant to freezing.  The Healthy Spaces team installed ice guards on this discharge system to prevent freezing and cracking.  Third, a discharge line needs to direct water as far as possible from the foundation to prevent groundwater from flowing back into the basement.  Fourth, a discharge line needs to have a safe, effective, and clog resistant end cap.  The Healthy Spaces team is installing lawnscapes at the ends of these discharge lines.

Muddy Crawlspace Transformed to a CleanSpace

Before	After

In these photos, you can easily see the CleanSpace difference! When the Healthy Spaces installation removed the layer of tar paper from the crawlspace, they discovered an extremely muddy crawlspace floor. In fact, the mud was very slippery and smelly.

In order to isolate the crawlspace and the house from the muddy ground and wet outside air, Cleanspace was installed. CleanSpace is an engineered film designed against rips, tears, and water on top of the liner. it's guaranteed for 25 years!

In the second picture, you can see the CleanSpace being installed in the crawlspace. Once the installation is complete, the crawlspace will actually be a conditioned space, which will increase energy efficiency--saving money on cooling and heating, and increasing indoor air quality.

Wet Crawl Space in Leitchfield, KY

Before	After

A crawl space in Leitchfield, KY, had wet floors with no plastic sheets laid throughout the space. This caused the family to reach out about their concerns. Crawl spaces need to be protected from any outside air that could potentially cause humidity or water to enter the crawl space. This can invite critters or mold to enter. If the crawl space is turned into an “inside” environment rather than an “outdoor” environment, then a dry airflow will be constant. To protect the crawl space from future issues, it would need to close all cracks in the space that have light entering in.

To create a peaceful mindset for the family about the health of their home, CleanSpace was laid out on the floors and walls. CleanSpace is a 20-mil thick plastic liner that completely seals off crawl space from the earth. A bonus to installing CleanSpace is that the crawl space can be used as storage if needed. A SaniDry Sedona was hooked up to create an ongoing dry airflow throughout the crawl space. A SmartSump Pump is put in to pump out water that is beneath the CleanSpace and wherever else, outside. The family felt reassured that their home would be a space to continue thriving in and having extra storage space was a plus!
