Spiders and Other Critters in a Crawl Space

Spiders and Other Critters in a Crawl Space Spiders and Other Critters in a Crawl Space

A homeowner located in Oakland City, IN was concerned about spiders in the crawl space and wanted an inspection and solution to this problem.  When spiders and other critters are spotted in a crawl space, this would conclude that humidity and outside air are entering the crawl space.  Spiders love damp crawl spaces since other bugs are found there for them to prey on. When a spider is present, it is suspected that there are other critters around.  These critters will eventually work their way up to the floor above the crawl space for more room to roam around in.  This would not be an ideal situation for any healthy home. 

 

The first solution for discarding unwanted critters would be to start with the openings inside the crawl space.  If there were any open vents in the crawl space, they needed to be sealed. A CleanSpace liner is used to cover the ground and sides of the floor.  A smart sump pump is installed to pump away water.  A SaniDry Sedona is used to dehumidify the crawl space and allow dry air to be present.  Living critters are not attracted to dry air, which would make living conditions unbearable.  Once the crawl space contained tools necessary for making sure spiders and other critters would not enter again, it reassured the homeowner that entering the crawl space would be safe in the future.

In Oakland City, IN, the homeowner was having a problem with their basement leaking. The problems did not start until the tornado had struck near their home, and the rain storm had also flooded about three inches. Upon inspection of the home, their old sump pump was located outside, Having a sump pump outside will not solve leaking problems since water from the outside could also flood the sump pump. Sump pumps are encouraged to be installed indoors, where the weather can does not affect them and it will successfully pump water out of the basement. 

Since the homeowners had dealt with heavy rain in the past, the past, the TripleSafe sump pump was the best choice for this case. The TripleSafe sump pump is the king of all sump pumps due to the ability to store three sump pumps in one liner. Pump one is a high-quality Zoeller pump. Pump two is set a bit higher in the sump hole, that turns on in the event the first pump would fail or can not keep up. The second pump is more powerful and has a separate discharge line. Pump three is a battery-operated UltraSump pump that kicks in if the power goes out. The homeowner was relieved to know that their new sump pump system will keep their basement dry from future storms.

Homeowner Jared G. from Oakland City, IN was ready to make all of his basement dreams come true. With the condition of his former basement, he never went down there. Mold covered the walls, and water was puddled on the floor. The space was not healthy and it was a waste of square footage in his home. He decided he wanted a place to hang out with his family and friends and make the investment so if he ever decided he wanted to sell his home, it would be worth more.

Design Specialist, Bob Roberts, was called to do a thorough inspection of Jared's basement. In conclusion, the basement needed mold remediation and a WaterGuard system to make the basement dry. The mold was coated all over the block walls, but it was removed and treated by our crew. The WaterGuard system is a drainage system around the perimeter of the basement which drains directly into your sump pump when water enters through the walls of your basement. 

For the finishing products, Jared chose to install MillCreek Flooring. These have the warm, earthy look of wood, but are all plastic. One of the great characteristics of these floors is if there is ever a leak on these floors, just fix it and dry the area, and it's good as new.
