Photo Album: Flooded Crawl Space Gets A Makeover in Warsaw, NC
A Warsaw, NC homeowner contacted our office looking for a permanent solution to fix their flooded crawl space issues. A free, crawl space repair inspection and quote was scheduled with inspector Matthew D to assess the damages.
Matthew discovered soaked, soggy insulation on the crawl space floor. He also discovered rotted wood joists, puddles of water in various crawl space corners, condensation on the HVAC ducts, and mold growth throughout the crawl space. When finished, Matthew proposed the most effective solution that would rid the crawl space of all water, mold, condensation, and high humidity issues permanently. Having heard what Matthew said, the homeowner was eager to get the work done.
Ultimately, our crew installed a CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System, a SmartSump Pump System, Drainage Matting, SilverGlo Insulation, applied a mold treatment, and installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to permanently repair the crawl space and solve all the water issues.
During the installation, Rayford F. and the production crew removed and disposed of the soggy insulation and other debris first. The crawl space was then treated for mold. A sump hole was dug for the SmartSump Pump System. To provide a thermal break and drainage space below the vapor barrier, drainage mats were applied throughout the crawl space. Installed SilverGlo Wall Insulation on the crawl space walls, and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier over the crawl space piers and floor. Afterwards, the crew installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity levels low and the air dry in the crawl space.
By encapsulating the crawl space and installing our patented crawl space repair products, the homeowners will never have to worry about a wet crawl space problem again.
Crawl Space Flood Area
This corner of the crawl space pooled with water. The crew will install a drainage matting, sump pump system, wall insulation, and a dehumidifier.
Wood Rot
Due to high humidity levels and water damage, the wooden joists were beginning to rot
Before Crawl Space Transformation
Condensation on the HVAC system and ceiling insulation
Drainage Space and Thermal Break
The drainage matting allows seepage flow to the sump pump due to its unique patented design while creating a thermal break between the ground and vapor barrier that will be installed over top.
Drainage Matting Seal
Once the drainage matting is applied on the crawl space floor, the crew will seal any exposed areas with vapor barrier tape.
Vapor Barrier
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier installed along the crawl space floor and piers.
Clean Crawl Space
The soggy debris is removed and the crawl space was treated for mold growth. CleanSpace fastened to the floor to prevent ground seepage, pest, insects, or mold growth.
A condensation pump will remove the water collected into the dehumidifier and drain to the SmartSump Pump System. Any way that is collected from the crawl space will be removed through the discharge line and carried at a safe distance away from the home.
