Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System Solves Moisture Problems in Tafton, PA

A Tafton, PA customer had moisture problems in the crawl space of their log cabin home. After coming across a Liberty Basement Systems online ad, they decided to give us a try! Once they met with crawl space repair inspector, Nick B., who explained our crawl space encapsulation installation process, the homeowners were very excited for one of our production crews to fully encapsulate their crawl space. The crawl space under this home has limited space, but nothing that our production team couldn't handle! Due to the high moisture problem, the crew first had to remove the soggy, crawl space fiberglass insulation. After the debris was fully removed from the crawl space, the crew installed a high-performance insulation (SilverGlo) along the crawl space walls. SilverGlo insulation stops air leaks and can never absorb or be damaged be moisture. Next, Drainage Matting was laid and secured over the crawl space floor while CleanSpace, vapor barrier was laid over top. The Drainage Matting will ensure water does not lay on your crawl space floor by allowing water to flow through small channels under the matting and into your drainage system. CleanSpace is a very effective crawl space vapor barrier that will prevent moisture seepage, seal air leaks, condition the air, and prevent water intrusion. The installation of a sump pump system is an essential step when waterproofing your basement or crawl space. To ensure this homeowner never has to worry about moisture or water problems again in their crawl space, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed to provide triple the protection! Water that is collected in the crawl space will drain to the TripleSafe Sump Pump and be safely removed from the home through an Exterior Discharge Line. To prevent high moisture levels in the crawl space, Basement Systems', SaniDry Sedona crawl space dehumidifier was installed and connected to the sump pump system. Not only will the Sedona keep the moisture levels low but will also filter mold spores and dust mites out of the air, which is great for someone who has asthma and/or allergies AND has a self-drainage mechanism!!
