Photo Album: Crawl Space Waterproofing in McDonough, GA

Our office was contacted by a McDonough, GA homeowner looking for help with their crawl space problem. We scheduled a free inspection with one of our crawl space repair experts to assess the problem and provide a permanent and effective solution. The homeowner was experiencing moisture issues in the crawl space, which can lead to a variety of serious issues such as mold, structural damage, and pest infestations. Our expert identified the source of the problem and provided the homeowner with a customized solution to permanently address the issue. The high humidity and moisture level in the air caused the insulation to become saturated, making it heavy and eventually causing it to fall from the ceiling. This created an ideal environment for mold growth, so it was important to remove the insulation before beginning the waterproofing installation. The crew sealed the rim joists, around pipes, and crawl space windows. This seals the space against moisture and humidity, limiting mold growth chances in the future. It also helps to keep the interior temperature stable, reducing energy loss and keeping energy costs low. Around the perimeter of the crawl space, EX-Flow drainage pipe was installed to capture water and drain it to our SuperSump Plus pump system. This helps to ensure that the moisture does not build up and cause problems like rot, which can weaken the structure of the house. The drainage pipe also helps to prevent flooding, which can also lead to structural damage. The installation of the sump pump system ensures that the water is quickly pumped away from the house and to a safe location. CleanSpace vapor barrier was then installed throughout the crawl space floor to prevent moisture from entering. A vapor barrier not only prevents water vapor from entering the crawl space, but it also prevents mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. With CleanSpace, you can add additional storage space while enjoying a dry, healthy, and clean environment! With the installation of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, we have conditioned the air in the crawl space. The Sedona is the most effective way to control humidity levels and odors in a crawl space. In the event of freezing water or a blockage, an IceGuard discharge line attachment was installed on the exterior of the home.
