We recently installed CleanSpace Drainage Matting in a customer's damp, dirt crawl space to address ongoing moisture issues. Before the installation, the crawl space floor was consistently damp, creating an environment prone to mold and unpleasant odors. After installing the matting, the space is now better protected against moisture buildup. The CleanSpace Drainage Matting works by creating a barrier that allows water to flow underneath, directing it away from the crawl space floor. This helps reduce humidity, prevent mold growth, and improve overall air quality in the home.
Encapsulating your crawl space protects your home from moisture and the problems that come along with it: high humidity, mold, high energy costs, smelly odors and weakened floors. If you are experiencing any of these things, call us today. We can help.
Moisture and dampness can wreak havoc on crawl spaces. These Sylvania, GA homeowners knew they were having some sort of moisture issues, as their floors were sagging in places and the air in their home smelled musty after it rained. They researched crawl space issues online and called Lowcountry Foundation Repair to encapsulate their crawl space.
Vented, dirt-floored crawl spaces are still permitted by building codes in many areas, despite the moisture and mold problems they cause. Lowcountry Basement’s Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System transformed this problem crawl space into a clean, dry area.
In addition to the CleanSpace Drainage Matting, we installed a crawl space sump pump and drainage system to ensure this crawl space stays dry. The drainage system collects any water that enters and directs it to the sump pump, which then efficiently removes the water, preventing moisture buildup and protecting the crawl space from potential damage.
Jackson W. of Walterboro, SC had lived in his home for eight years. Since he first moved in, he slowly noticed condensation on his HVAC duct work in the the crawl space. At first Jackson thought it was just a fluke and didn’t much attention to it.
After a few years of the same issue, he decided to have his crawl space inspected by Lowcountry Basement Systems. The inspector documented the high moisture level and recommended encapsulating his crawl space to prevent mold, wood rot and other structural-related problems. Jackson had the work done and he noticed a lower electric bill and improved air quality in his his home.
