Mold in Crawl Space, Malvern, AR
Challenge
Customer called in stating that he has a large, open crawl space, some musty smell in house, some part of outside room not insulated underneath. The homeowner called the experts here at Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas
Solution
The best solution for preventative moisture control was our CleanSpace™ encapsulation system, the SaniDry™ dehumidification system, and the SmartSump pump system. These three solutions put together will ensure the crawlspace remains dry, controlling the moisture that seeps in the crawlspace.
Installation begins with installing air-tight vents and air-sealing any openings into the crawlspace. We installed our Smart sump pump system, which drains any water entering the crawlspace into a sump pump. This way, homeowners can have piece of mind of keeping their crawlspace as dry as possible, even during a thunderstorm, if they are not at home.
The next step was to install the encapsulation system, consisting of a vapor barrier that prevents moisture from accumulating through the block walls and floor. Underneath the barrier lies a drainage matting that guides any water coming behind the barrier to the sump pump.
To further protect this homeowner's crawlspace, the SaniDry™ dehumidification system was installed. Any excessive moisture or humidity in this crawlspace will be removed, ensuring the area will remain clean and dry. The SaniDry™ can be set to proper humidity level, so the homeowner can be comfortable knowing the humidity level will not exceed what is set. By keeping moisture and humidity levels low, pests and mold cannot thrive.
These three solutions will control mold, dust mites, and mildew damage.
