When we waterproofed this basement in Irvine, Kentucky, we installed our most secure sump pump system, the TripleSafe, in the lowest graded part of the basement. This sump will take all the water that the WaterGuard subfloor drains channel to it, and safely discharge it away from the foundation of the home. The TripleSafe comes with three different pumps, including a battery backed one in case the power goes out. Like all of our sumps, it comes with an airtight lid, an alarm system, and an airtight floor drain.
We installed a white Clean Space liner across the floor and walls of this customers crawl space. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels on the walls, a SmartSump sump pump, and a Sani Dry Sedona dehumidifier.
Water leaks had corrupted this basement causing stains, musty smells, and cracks. We relieved this basement in Gray, KY, by draining the foundation of hydrostatic pressure to bring comfort back to this basement. The two most important pieces to our waterproofing system are our subfloor WaterGuard drains and one of our sump pumps. The subfloor drains prevent clogging and help channel groundwater to the sump pump. The sump pump works efficiently to then discharge all the collected water far and away from the home. By relieving this basement of water pressure, the homeowners gained some peace of mind.
This crawl space in Jeffersonville, KY, was dealing with moisture issues, as evidence by the attached before picture. The floor of the crawl space was muddied, and the air duct system was at risk of deterioration if the moisture was left untreated. We fixed the issue by encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, but the heart of the system relies on our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. You see, when you seal a crawl space off completely, (including the vents) you have to make sure the air stays conditioned so moisture doesn't become trapped in the space. Our SaniDry Sedona system runs automatically, and it is able to remove up to 99 pints of water out of the air in a day if needed be. The crawl space is now dry as a bone, and the homeowner noticed a difference in the air quality above the crawl space almost immediately.
This crawl space was having trouble with moisture control. We fixed this problem by wrapping the crawl space in our CleanSpace lining, which is able to seal out moisture due to its inorganic composition. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is built for keeping large spaces completely dry. We also added some rim joist insulation and some vent covers. Moisture won't be a problem any longer for this crawl space.
