Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing a Humid & Moldy Crawl Space in Sterling Forest. NY

A homeowner located in Sterling Forest, NY had a crawl space with several major issues. The runoff from heavy rains would make its way towards this home since it was located downhill, at the bottom of the neighborhood. The middle of the dirt floor was extremely wet, and the entire crawl space was a muddy mess. As soon as you went into the crawl space, you could immediately feel the humidity in the air and smell the mustiness. Mold growth could be seen all over the wooden joists inside of the crawl space. This homeowner needed our help and our products to fix their crawl space, which is exactly why we installed our drainage matting, CleanSpace Encapsulation System, and our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System.   The drainage matting goes underneath the CleanSpace and enhances its durability and longevity, while forming a permanent seal over the leaking crawl space floor. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System is a heavy duty, 20-mil reinforced polymer liner that is designed to block out humidity and moisture. This vapor barrier also prevents mold growth, which is something this crawl space desperately needed. Our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System is specifically designed to fit inside crawl spaces, and discharge water away from the home. Equipped with a 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sump pump, it can discharge up to 2,500 gallons of water. This homeowner also opted to add on the UltraSump battery backup system for added protection in case of pump failure or a power outage. This device keeps your sump pump running smoothly if either of these situations were to arise.   Once the job was completed, the homeowner could experience peace of mind knowing their crawl space was now a safe and dry area.
