Soaked Floor Joists and Insulation in Bowersville, GA Leads to CleanSpace Encapsulation

Water in a crawlspace is something that a homeowner never wants to see, but unfortunately many do. Water can show itself in a crawlspace many different ways, sometimes it may be a small puddle of water and in another crawlspace, there may be a little condensation of a floor joist or pipe. However, when a problem is not taken care of quickly or goes unnoticed, the water may show itself in much more obvious ways.

The "before" photo gives a pretty good impression on what the entire crawlspace looked like when our System Design Specialist first went out to the home. The ground in the crawlspace was quite damp, but there was an even more obvious indication of high moisture levels in this crawlspace. The  insulation and floor joists were completely soaked with water, which was causing the insulation to begin falling. The top left of the photo shows an area where the water has completely soaked the floor joists and insulation in this area. 

The "after" picture shows the crawlspace but with our CleanSpace liner installed. This crawlspace looks like a completely new area after our crew came in and installed this system. CleanSpace is a huge part of the system, but there are several other parts that were extremely important. Two other huge pieces of the system include the SmartSump Pump System and the dehumidifier that were installed. The SmartSump is where all of the water drains to, and is then pumped out and away from the home. The dehumidifier ensures that the humidity level of the crawlspace stays below the level that mold can grow at.
