A Terryville, CT homeowner had a moist and musty crawlspace that they were looking to get encapsulated. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems and we set them up with one of our Salesmen, Jorge Tomas, to the home to assess the crawlspace and propose our solutions.
Not long after it would be time for one of our Foremen, Al, and his crew to install this job. They installed our drainage matting on the ground and then our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top and the walls to eliminate moisture and musty odors. Then they installed our SuperSump sump pump to eliminate any water that may enter the space too. Our Sedona dehumidifier was installed to eliminate excess moisture and prevent mold growth as well. RimJoist insulation was installed to keep the temperatures regulated.
Now, not only is this crawlspace clean and healthy, it is moisture free! The homeowner has great peace of mind knowing this will help overall with the health of the home.
Water used to seep through the walls and floor of this New Haven, CT crawlspace and cause mold, rot, and other moisture-related problems. To create a dry environment, we encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier on the floor and SilverGlo insulation on the walls. Water can't pass through either product! The encapsulation treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.
During heavy rains, this crawlspace would flood with water. Because it lacked a drainage system, the water would sit in the space for weeks at a time. To pump water out of the crawl space and collect groundwater before it enters the home, we installed the SmartSump sump pump. Along with a cast-iron Zoeller sump pump, the SmartSump includes a floor drain to collect water from plumbing leaks and a WaterWatch sump pump alarm that will sound off to notify the owners of water in the crawl space. The homeowners can reast easy knowing that their crawl space wil stay dry, even in heavy rainstorms!
This old crawlspace used to leak through the walls and floor, causing mold to grow. To keep moisture out of the home, we put in our CleanSpace liner on the floor. This durable, bright white crawl space liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, this durable liner will convert your crawl space into a usable storage area. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface.
This crawl space was extremely damp and in need of major improvement! We installed our clean space liner to prevent water damage within the crawl space as well as put in our Super Sump Pump as well as a dehuidifier to prevent any further water damage.
