Drenched Basement Wall
The leak shown here creates several problems for the home. Not only is the wall liable to become moldy, but this amount of water can result in flooding and property damage if not properly drained.
Leaking Crawlspace
The water seeping in through the crawlspace walls had nowhere to go once it came inside the basement, allowing it to collect. Our team installed crawlspace drainage matting. This dimpled plastic mat material is creates a drainage space that helps water find its way to the drain lines, preventing possible mold and rot in the home.
Crawl Space Vent
Old crawl space thinking said that air would blow in a vent on one side of a house and blow out of the vent on the other side. But we now know that a house works like a chimney, sucking air in at the lower levels, including in through all of the open crawl space vents, and then this air rises up into the house and escapes out of the upper levels. This open vent to the outside was allowing water and humidity into the home. CleanSpace Vent Covers go over the old, corroded, unsightly vents for a nice clean looking finish. These crawl space vent covers are durable plastic, so they'll never rust, rot, or need paint. The crawlspace vent covers have a foam insulation and gasket material on the inside to seal off the outside air completely.
Humidity is a Problem
As the humidity levels rise in crawl spaces, moisture condensates on the surfaces, leading to serious problems in your home. These problems can vary from dramatic repairs to minimal repairs such as structural issues related to mold and wood rot or may be health related affecting the air quality of the home. The SaniDry CSB is a crawl space dehumidifier that's strong enough for the job! Its powerful 240 CFM blowing motor will circulate air throughout your humid crawl space, drying everything out and keeping it dry all the time! Its large cold coil surface (see comparison in photo) helps it handle a 6,000 square foot crawl space, at 3 feet high. An adjustable knob lets you decide how dry you want your crawlspace-- just set it and forget it!
