Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Making a Crawlspace Waterproof & Safe in New Paltz, NY
There was a crawlspace located in New Paltz, NY that needed serious restoration and repairs. Signs of water seeping through the concrete walls were extremely prominent. Efflorescence covered the concrete blocks inside the crawlspace, which is a chalky white substance that is left behind when water evaporates off the surface. Mold was also present inside of this space, which is harmful to breath in and pollutes the air circulating throughout the house.
How did we stop water from seeping in through the walls and prevent mold from coming back? The Basement Transformer team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.
The CleanSpace Encapsulation is a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner that includes a drainage mat underneath. The drainage mat gives any water coming through the floor the ability to move around and leave before ever making contact with the surface. It will help direct the water into your sump pump system, and out of your home. Keeping humidity under control and water out of your crawlspace, this encapsulation system does it all.
The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is no ordinary dehumidifier because it is a high efficiency system that is capable of taking up to 100 pints of water out of your crawlspace. It can also filter the smallest particles out of the air, even ones smaller than dust mite droppings and mold spores. It truly transforms the air, making it clean, safe, and damp free!
