A homeowner in Chapel Hill, NC reached out to Carolina Basement Systems with concerns regarding her wet crawl space. Her crawl space would regularly flood and there was always standing pools of water along the ground. This created a very moist and humid environment that contained strong musty odors. These are issues that no one wishes to deal with, but we solve problems like this every day. Good thing this homeowner contacted the local crawl space experts!

One of our knowledgeable inspectors went out to perform a free, no obligation, quote and inspection. After he completed a thorough investigation of the area, he sat down with the homeowner to educate her on what was happening in her crawl space, why this occurs, and what types of solutions are available. After a plan of action was agreed upon, one of our expert crews got to work. They started off by removing all debris, sealing up the vents, and laying out dimpled drainage matting to prepare the area for encapsulation. Then, they sealed the walls and floor in our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. To prevent the area from ever flooding again, they installed our TripleSafe sump pump system. It features a three-pump system that automatically adjusts to the current pumping requirements of the area. This includes a battery powered pump to offer flood protection in the case of a power outage. Lastly, to divert water away from the home's foundation, the crew installed buried downspout extensions to the gutter and sump pump discharge lines.
