Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Moisture Elimination in Greensboro, NC

Our crew recently completed a crawl space repair project that transformed a damp and musty area into a clean, dry, and well-ventilated space. Here's a breakdown of the process and the systems we used: 1. Debris Removal: We started by removing all debris from the crawl space. This step is crucial as it clears the area for proper inspection and ensures a clean surface for the installation of new systems. 2. Sealing Vents: Next, we sealed the vents to prevent outside air from entering the crawl space. This helps in maintaining a consistent temperature and humidity level, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. 3. CleanSpace Drainage Matting: We installed CleanSpace Drainage Matting on the floor of the crawl space. This matting helps to direct any water that might enter the space towards the drainage system, keeping the area dry. 4. Fastening CleanSpace Vapor Barrier: The entire crawl space was then covered with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. This heavy-duty liner was fastened to the walls and floor, creating an airtight seal that prevents moisture from seeping in. This barrier is essential for protecting the structural integrity of the home and improving air quality. 5. Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier: To control humidity levels, we installed a Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier. This powerful dehumidifier not only removes excess moisture from the air but also filters out mold spores and other particulates, ensuring a healthier environment. The built-in condensate pump automatically drains the collected water, eliminating the need for manual emptying. 6. Everlast Crawl Space Door: Finally, we replaced the old crawl space door with our Everlast Crawl Space Door. This door is made from durable, inorganic material that won't rot or warp, providing a long-lasting and energy-efficient solution. All these systems work together to create a controlled environment in the crawl space, preventing moisture issues, improving air quality, and enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the home. The result is a healthier, more durable, and more comfortable living space.

Dehumidification

The Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier will help this crawl space by removing excess moisture from the air, preventing mold growth, and improving air quality. Its built-in condensate pump automatically drains collected water, ensuring continuous operation without manual intervention.

Moisture Protection

The CleanSpace vapor barrier will protect this space from moisture by creating an airtight seal that prevents moisture from seeping in. It covers the walls and floor, blocking humidity and water vapor, thus maintaining a dry and healthy space. Additionally, our heavy-duty liner is created with a special additive "UltraFresh" that prevents mold growth/mildew buildup.

CleanSpace Durability

CleanSpace is super durable because it's made from a thick, reinforced material that resists tears and punctures. It's designed to last for many years, even in tough conditions, providing long-term protection.

Drainage Matting

The drainage matting works by creating a raised surface with grooves that allow water to flow underneath it, directing any moisture towards a drainage system. It pairs perfectly with the CleanSpace vapor barrier, which keeps the moisture from seeping back up, and the Sanidry dehumidifier, which removes any remaining humidity from the air. Together, they keep the crawl space dry and prevent mold and mildew.

Stagnating Water In Crawl Space

The CleanSpace drainage matting prevents water from stagnating in the crawl space by creating a raised, textured surface that allows water to flow underneath it. This design directs any moisture towards a drainage system, ensuring that water doesn't pool and cause issues like mold or mildew.

Before Debris Removal & Moisture Protection

Before our team arrived, the crawl space was full of debris, damp, and musty. It had dirt floors, exposed vents letting in outside air, and even some standing water & mold. It definitely wasn't a pleasant or healthy space.
