Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Nasty Crawl Space Transformation in Okatie, SC

Homeowners in Okatie, SC wanted to encapsulate their damp and musty crawl space. A damp and musty crawl space can lead to various risks, including mold growth, wood rot, and increased indoor humidity. Mold can grow on porous materials and release harmful spores into the air, potentially causing respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Wood rot can weaken the structure of the home, leading to structural instability and potential safety hazards. Additionally, elevated indoor humidity levels can contribute to higher heating and cooling costs, as well as the growth of dust mites and bacteria. To provide a permanent solution to the crawl space problem, one of our highly-trained crawl space repair specialists visited the home for a thorough assessment. It was decided to encapsulate their crawl space using our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System to solve their wet crawl space problem for good! We sealed the crawl space vents with our CleanSpace Vent Covers, installed drainage matting throughout the crawl space floor to prevent flooding, installed a SmartSump Pump specifically designed for the crawl space to remove ground water, and installed a SmartSump Pump system. In addition, our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was permanently fastened to the crawl space piers and floor to prevent moisture from seeping in, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep moisture levels low. This not only solved their immediate issues but also prevented future risks such as mold growth, wood rot, and increased indoor humidity. By properly sealing the crawl space vents, installing drainage matting, a SmartSump Pump, and the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, they were able to create a dry and healthy crawl space environment.

Crawl Space Sump Pump System

The SmartSump Pump System is a innovative product that offers several key features and benefits. Firstly, it has a built-in alarm and Float Switch that automatically turns on when the water level reaches a certain level, ensuring that the crawl space stays dry and protected. Additionally, the system is designed with a powerful pump that can effectively remove water accumulated in the space, preventing flooding and structural damage.

Before Encapsulation

This customers crawl space was in serious need of our help! Water pooled throughout the crawl space floor and musty odors were lingering in the upper levels of their home.

High Quality Vapor Barrier

Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a highly effective solution for reducing moisture levels and preventing mold development in crawl spaces. By using CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, homeowners can expect improved air quality inside your home, less likelihood of respiratory issues, and a lower chance of wood decay and structural damage in crawl spaces. Additionally, the system can also increase energy efficiency by sealing out outside air, keeping conditioned air in, and reducing the need for heating and cooling.

Crawl Space Drainage Matting

Drainage matting in crawl spaces serves the purpose of collecting and redirecting water and moisture that seeps into the space. It helps to prevent the accumulation of water on the floor, which can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural issues. The drainage matting allows for proper drainage and evaporation, keeping the crawl space dry and healthy.

Vent Covers

Covering the vents in the crawl space can lead to improved air quality. By blocking the vents, excess moisture, humidity, and pests from entering the space, the likelihood of air quality issues, such as mold growth and musty odors, is significantly reduced. This ultimately improves the overall air quality in the crawl space and helps prevent the spread of contaminants to the living area.

Crawl Space Dehumidification

The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier works by using a specialized filter that captures and removes moisture from the air, preventing the formation of mold, mildew, and odors. It also has a built-in drain hose that allows for easy removal of water, ensuring that excess moisture is efficiently removed and humidity levels are controlled.
