Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wet Crawl Space Repair in Durham, NC

Our team recently completed a remarkable transformation of a crawl space that was previously wet, dark, and musty. The crawl space is now clean, dry, and healthy, thanks to a comprehensive sealing and installation process. We sealed the crawl space vents to prevent moisture from entering. Our StarPipe interior drainage system, combined with the TripleSafe sump pump, ensures efficient water management. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier provides a durable shield against moisture and mold, while the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier maintains optimal humidity levels. These products work together to repair and protect the customer's crawl space, ensuring a long-lasting, healthy environment.

Sump Pump

The TripleSafe sump pump keeps the crawl space dry by: 1. **Primary Pump**: Handles regular water flow efficiently. 2. **Secondary Pump**: Activates if the primary pump fails or if there's an increase in water volume, ensuring continuous operation. 3. **Battery-Operated Backup Pump**: Provides protection during power outages, ensuring the system works even when electricity is unavailable. This triple-layer protection ensures that water is effectively managed and the crawl space remains dry at all times.

Dehumidification

The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier will keep this crawl space humidity-free by efficiently removing excess moisture from the air and maintaining optimal humidity levels. Its automatic operation adjusts to changing conditions, ensuring consistent performance. The powerful, high-capacity design covers large areas, making it ideal for crawl spaces. By continuously controlling humidity, the SaniDry Sedona prevents mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors, ensuring a dry and healthy environment.

IceGuard Outlet

The IceGuard outlet is a crucial component of a sump pump system designed to prevent blockages caused by freezing temperatures. It features a unique design that allows water to escape even if the discharge pipe is frozen, ensuring continuous operation of the sump pump. This prevents water from backing up into the basement or crawl space, providing reliable protection against flooding during cold weather.

Covering LawnScape Outlet

Using stone when installing a discharge line and LawnScape Outlet offers several benefits: 1. **Improved Drainage**: Stone facilitates better water flow, preventing pooling and ensuring efficient drainage away from the foundation. 2. **Stability**: It provides a stable base for the discharge line, preventing shifting or settling over time. 3. **Filtration**: Stone acts as a natural filter, preventing soil and debris from clogging the discharge line and LawnScape Outlet.

Interior Drainage System

The StarPipe Drainage System keeps the space dry by effectively managing water intrusion. It is installed along the perimeter of the crawl space, collecting water that seeps in through the walls or floor. The collected water is then directed to the sump pump, which efficiently removes it from the space. This system ensures that any moisture entering the crawl space is quickly and effectively channeled away, preventing water accumulation and maintaining a dry environment.

Sealing Vents

Sealing vents in a crawl space is crucial for controlling moisture, improving energy efficiency, preventing pests, and enhancing indoor air quality. Vents allow humid outside air to enter, leading to potential mold growth and moisture issues. By sealing them, you maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reduce energy costs, and keep pests out. Additionally, sealing vents helps prevent contaminants and allergens from entering the home, ensuring a healthier living environment.
