There are many different signs of an increased moisture level under a home. One of the most obvious signs of moisture in a crawlspace is sagging of falling insulation. This happens because the water is soaked up by the insulation, as it is extremely absorbent. This can easily lead to more problems such as mold growth if nothing is done about the moisture problems.
This is what had begun to happen in this crawlspace. The moisture levels in the crawlspace had been increasing and the insulation was just soaking it all up like a sponge. While this was not a good thing, they homeowners had caught the problem before any real damage had been done. This gave our System Design Specialist a chance to assess what the crawlspace needed and what the best fix would be for the area.
Once the crew got out there they began to install our system. This system mainly consisted of the CleanSpace liner to encapsulate the area. The picture does a pretty good at showing how well our crews install the CleanSpace, it is laid down very tight to the ground and walls in order to utilize space and help to prevent the CleanSpace from being punctured or ripped off of the wall easily. It also makes the crawlspace look much, much better! The other important part of the installation was the dehumidifier that was installed, this ensures that the moisture level in the crawlspace stays below the threshold where mold can grow.
CleanSpace can really transform a crawlspace, as this customer in Liberty found out. This crawlspace had a lot of exposed ground and a lot of standing water, which can be very detrimental to your crawlspace's (and home's) overall health. This water will evaporate and start to weaken a home's wooden floor joists and begin to grow mold.
The "before" picture shows off a lot about this crawlspace. While it does not seem that bad, there are obvious signs of water in the crawlspace. The biggest sign is the amount of dirt on the old liner. While some of this may just be from workers crawling around or loose clay, the majority of this dirt/clay comes from water being in the crawlspace and moving the clay onto the liner. Once there, the water pools on the liner and begins to evaporate. We also see a lot of open ground in this photo, because the liner was not properly installed or secured onto the walls of the crawlspace.
The "after" picture shows a much brighter, cleaner, and water free crawlspace. This is the exact same area as the before picture but does not look like it at all. The CleanSpace liner is laid out following the contours of the crawlspace ground and walls. You will not ever have to worry about accidentally tearing it off the wall by walking or crawling on it. This liner will stay looking this good because there is no open earth to be exposed to.
Whenever you think of the space under your home, you more than likely aren’t imaging a small pond. This is actually a very likely situation if your home isn’t protected. Water always flows downward, even if there are walls and floors in its way. In scenarios like this, water can pool into your basement or crawlspace by seeping through the walls. But there isn’t a need to stress when you suddenly find yourself fishing under your house. All-Dry of the Carolinas can be considered expert “fishermen” when it comes to situations like these.
In the before picture you see an old crawlspace liner that has a pool of water and mud. There are several things that All-Dry of the Carolinas can do to solve this problem! Combinations of a drainage system, a SumpPump, and an extended discharge pipe have been used to save this home in Liberty, SC from its water issues.
In the after pictures you see a neat and clean space for the SumpPump to do its work. The SumpPump will traffic out any unwanted fishing time in your basement or crawlspace. More pictures of the drainage system and extended discharge pipe can be found in our photo gallery under, “Fishing in the crawlspace solved by SumpPump”.
This is something that you do not get to see every day because it is not an item we get to install very often! While most homes have a crawlspace door above ground level, some are below ground level and therefore have an entrance like you see above. We use Everlast Doors which create an airtight seal around the entrance when the access points are above ground, but when the access points are like this, we have to use a Turtl.
The "before" photo shows off the crawlspace entrance before any products had been installed. As you can see it is a very crude entrance, with only a sheet of metal to cover the hole. This allows a lot of outside air to get inside the crawlspace, which can cause the relative humidity to increase and moisture to collect on surfaces in the crawl space.
The "after" photo shows the installed Turtl crawlspace entrance over a year after being installed. As you can see, it is certainly doing its job. While a little dirty, it still provides a tight seal that does not allow outside air to get inside the crawlspace. As you can see, this product is made of plastic and therefore will never break down or decompose like a wooden door would.
This homeowner was in need of some protection for his basement and basement walls. Luckily for him, this was a problem that we could easily help him with. He was having some slight water intrusion in their partially finished basement. This was about to cause some serious issues, so they decided to call us and see exactly what we could and would do for them!
The "before" picture shows what the area looked like before our crew installed the CleanSpace liner and wall, as well as the SaniDry dehumidifier. As you can see, the room itself is very dark and dirty looking. You can also see how the area is hastily covered with another, less effective basement/crawlspace liner. This allows water, insects, or anything else to easily pass through the liner.
The "after" photo shows a much different story. You can see that the entire room is covered in either CleanSpace liner or our CleanSpace Wall. This basement is more than safe and sound now! Not only did this homeowner have this whole room encapsulated, but they also had a SaniDry dehumidifier installed. This helps to remove any moisture from the air and pump it outside the home.
