Photo Album: Crawl Space Water Problems in Lillington, NC

A Lillington, NC homeowner was experiencing high levels of moisture in the upper levels of their home. They decided to check out their crawl space after a huge rainstorm. When the area was investigated, it was found that large amounts of water were leaking into the garage from the crawl space. There were a few small cracks in the foundation wall that caused rainwater to drain into the crawl space as well. This caused water to pool in different areas. Having no idea what to do, they decided to seek the assistance of a crawl space repair professional.   Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair made an excellent impression on the homeowner when searching online for a reputable crawl space repair company. After contacting our office, Justin S was scheduled for a no-cost crawl space repair consultation and quote. An inspection of the crawl space revealed pooled water, mold growth, condensation on the walls, and an elevated level of humidity. Justin completed the assessment and developed a customized plan that would transform this wet crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthy space. It was a relief to the homeowner to hear Justin's recommendation and plan for resolving the crawl space problem once and for all.   In order to permanently stop water from entering the crawl space, soggy debris must first be removed and disposed of as well as a mold treatment throughout. Next, a SmartPipe Drainage System was installed to direct water into the sump pump system. By adding a TripleSafe Sump Pump, the collected water will be removed from the house through an exterior discharge line. It is imperative to use a CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier in order to prevent seepage from entering through the foundation walls and the crawl space floor. A Drainage Matting would be fastened to the crawl space floor to facilitate proper drainage from ground water seepage. It would also include a SaniDry Sedona Crawl Space Dehumidifier to reduce humidity levels.
