Photo Album: CleanSpace helps to resolve water intrustion in Covington, OH

A Covington, Ohio homeowner was having problems with water in the crawl space.  The crawl space had a gravel floor and a plastic vapor barrier in some places.  The homeowner called The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati for help to resolve the problems in the crawl space.  The homeowner met with a Donny, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that CleanSpace with Drainage Matting, a SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System with UltraSump Battery Back-up Pumping System, CleanSpace Vent Covers and a SaniDry Sedona is installed to resolve the water problems in the crawl space. The CleanSpace Liner is a bright-white, plastic liner that is attached to the floor and walls of the crawl space to provide a mold and vapor-proof barrier between the ground and the home.  The CleanSpace Drainage Matting is installed under the liner.  The Drainage Matting has dimples in it to provide a channel for water to be able to flow out of the crawl space.  CleanSpace Vent Covers provide an airtight seal and keep debris from entering the crawl space.   The SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System with an UltraSump Battery Back-up System is used to pump the water out of the crawl space.  The SmartSump has a WaterWatch Alarm that will sound if there is a pump or power failure.  It also will sound an alarm if there is water leaking into the crawl space from a plumbing leak.  The water will then drain down into the airtight floor drain but will not come back up into the crawl space.  This is a SMART feature to have since most homeowners do not go into the crawl space that often and may not realize that there is a pump, power or water problem until its too late and damage has occurred.  The UltraSump Battery Back-up System will start up if there is a pump or power failure and remove water from the crawl space using battery power.  It comes with a battery and charging station.   The SaniDry Sedona is used to filter and dry the air.  The crawl space is part of the home, so whatever is in the crawl space makes its way up into the living space.  Too much humidity in the crawl space can make the house feel more humid in the summer and also encourage mold and musty odors.  The special filters on the SaniDry help to eliminate dust and allergens from the air.   These products working together provide the homeowner with a dry, healthier home.  Schedule an appointment with a certified inspector to find out how what products would help you to create a healthier home.
