Before we came in, the crawlspace had no access well. It was a hole in the side of the home that was open to any bugs, rodents, water, or even people that came in. We installed a Turtl access well. This airtight covered well is made of durable plastic, so it will never corrode or rot. It also has the added benefit of being lockable, for guaranteed security.
The old support posts in this crawl space were sinking, causing the floor above them to sag. To prevent any structural issues in the future, including wall cracks and unsafe floors, we installed SmartJacks. SmartJacks are a permant solution to the sagging floors, and can be ajusted to push the floor back up to the exact position it was originally. The owners of this home can rest easy knowing that their home is well-supported.
Before, this Eastchester crawl space had an insufficient sump pump and the area was not insulated. This allowed unwanted air and moisture to enter the crawl space which made it an undesirable place in the home. The homeowners want an efficient, dry and clean crawl space. They decided to call the experts at Connecticut Basement Systems to provide a long-term solution for their crawl space.
Now, the crawl space is dry, efficient and beautiful. A SmartSump Pump was installed to discharge water seepage away from the home, keeping the crawl space dry even during the heaviest of storms. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed to keep humidity below 55%, keeping the air healthy. On the floors, CleanSpace moisture barrier was installed to prevent air or moisture from seeping through. It also covers up that dirt floor, so it can be used as a place for storage. Lastly, SilverGlo insulation was installed on the walls of the crawl space to keep it insulated and running efficiently. With the combination of these products, the crawl space was transformed into a beautiful, dry and efficient crawl space, just what the homeowners had hoped for!
