Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: CleanSpace and SmartSump resolve crawl space problems in Loveland, OH
A Loveland, Ohio homeowner was interested in a vapor barrier being installed in the crawl space are of his home. He met with Brice, one of the Certified Inspectors, who recommended that CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System and a SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System is installed.
The Liner of the CleanSpace System is a bright, white 20-mil-thick plastic liner that is similar to a pool liner. It is attached to the floor and walls of the crawl space to provide a vapor-proof barrier between the ground below and the home. It is important to have a barrier between the ground and the crawl space because whatever is in the crawl space, such as moisture mold and allergens, also is getting up into the living areas of the home. CleanSpace is a great place to start to create a healthier home!
The SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System is made especially for crawl spaces. It has a "smart" designed lid that will drain water from plumbing leaks down into the drainage system but will not let the water back up into the crawl space and will sound the WaterWatch Alarm to alert the homeowner. The WaterWatch Alarm will also sound if there is a pump or power failure. The Lid is designed to form a tight seal around the crawl space liner.
We also installed the SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry filters and dries the air. Too much humidity can eventually cause damage to the wood joists under the home, makes the home uncomfortable, and encourages mold growth. Mold spores need moisture to live. The SaniDry will also keep musty odors from forming in the crawl space.
The CleanSpace Liner, SmartSump and SaniDry working together will help the homeowner to create a more comfortable, healthier home.
