A homeowner in Cincinnati has owned his home for 30 years and was having trouble with water in the crawl space. He met with a Certified Inspector who recommended that a SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System, CleanSpace with Drainage matting, and a SaniDry Sedona is installed to resolve these problems for the homeowner.
The SmartSump is made especially for crawl spaces. The SmartSump has a WaterWatch Alarm that will sound if there is water leaking into the crawl space. Water from a plumbing leak fills a special pocket on the lid that sounds the alarm alerting the homeowner to a problem with the system. This is a great feature to have since not a lot of homeowners go into the crawl space area that often to find a plumbing leak.
CleanSpace Drainage Matting has dimples throughout it to provide a channel for water to flow into the drainage system. The CleanSpace Liner is a bright white plastic liner, similar to a pool liner, that provides a mold and vapor-proof barrier.
The SaniDry Sedona keeps the humidity low. Controlling the humidity in the crawl space is important to maintain a healthy environment in the home. Having too much moisture causes mold and musty odors which can get into the living space also.
