Rotten Wood
This photo is depicting wood rot, which is a result of the moisture content of the wood, that is proportional to the relative humidity of the air in the crawl space. Once the wood in a crawl space starts to rot, it damages the structural integrity of the home.
Standing Water in crawl space
This customers crawl space was leaking, causing water to pool up in the lower areas of the crawl space. This standing water is causing multiple issues, such as the wood rot, its causing mold and milder to grow, and also damages the foundation of the home.
Mold growing on wood
This is a clear depiction of the issues that standing water is causing in this crawl space. Mold has started to grow on the wood, which leads to further issues. The crawl space air goes through the vents in your home, and this can be what you are breathing in.
Waterproofing in crawl space
This is the after math of the crawl space, once our crew got out there, and was able to fix all of these customers issues. CleanSpace and WaterGuard were installed, which work together. The CleanSpace creates a barrier between the home and the Earth, catching the water and sending it to the WaterGuard which then send the water to the sump pump. Also pictured is the SaniDry Sedona, which is our high-efficiency dehumidifier that keeps the crawl space dry, and the relative humidity at the correct range.
Sump Pump
This is what the sump pump looks like once it is installed in the crawl space. The CleanSpace and WaterGuard catch the water and send it to the sump pump, which had drains, that allow the water to drain out and away from the home. This ensures that there will never be standing water in the crawl space again.
