Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Moisture Problem Eliminated in Pine Grove, PA
Following a free in-person crawl space repair estimate and quote, Liberty Basement Systems was able to resolve this Pine Grove, PA homeowner's moisture problem permanently.
The floors above the crawl space were previously leveled by another company, but the customer noticed they were sagging again. In addition to the sagging floor, a musty odor emanated from the crawl space and spread to the upper levels. As a result of investigating where the problem was coming from, the customer discovered that the crawl space was very damp and humid.
Having searched the internet for a crawl space repair professional and read customer testimonials, the homeowner became confident Liberty Basement Systems were the right professionals. After receiving their free in-person crawl space inspection, crawl space repair specialist and managing owner, Joe Drumm, provided the customer with a custom crawl space repair solution.
A SmartJack support post was adjusted to lift and stabilize the sagging crawl space floor. After sealing the crawl space to prevent outside elements from entering, a crawl space insulation system was installed. Next, a SmartDrain was installed. This system will drain collected water beneath your vapor barrier, preventing it from collecting in the space. Crawl space drainage mats were used on the crawl space floor to allow better drainage and to serve as thermal breaks between the dirt floor and the vapor barrier. Throughout the crawl space floor and half way up the walls, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was installed. CleanSpace eliminates the intrusion of humidity, cold air, and pests from outside the home. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed to dry the crawl space air.
Vapor Barrier
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through.
SmartDrain
When CleanSpace is installed in your crawl space, a plumbing or water leak can fill your crawl space like a swimming pool. The SmartDrain will alert you to a plumbing or water leak with an audible alarm, and drain the water away into a dry well under the CleanSpace.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
Automatically controls humidity level to prevent crawl space mold growth, wood rot, and odors. Removes up to 100 pints of water from crawl space air per day.
Damp Crawl Space
Moisture can cause severe mold and rot issues like sagging or buckling floors. A moisture problem in the crawl space can increase energy bills because damp air requires more energy to heat or cool. The humidity also attracts pests such as rodents, snakes, and termites.
Crawl Space Insulation
A rigid foam board is an ideal choice for crawl space wall insulation. SilverGlo Insulation has an incredible R-value of 11 and can turn your crawl space into an energy-efficient network that keeps your home at a consistent, comfortable temperature.
Crawl Space Drainage Matting
Drainage matting is a dimpled plastic mat that lies between a crawl space's floor and liner. As a result of the raised dimples, water flows towards a sump pump or drainage system in the crawl space.
