Clean Space Encapsulation, Plummerville, AR

Challenge

Tomi Crow had a damp crawlspace that had an existing vapor barrier, but it was not keeping out moisture. Tomi also wanted to waterproof his crawlspace and have a solution that would control the humidity and moisture within. She called Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas , where our systems design specialist  came out to design a solution based on Tomi needs.

Solution

Our formen and his team came out to install the products. The process began with covering all vents to prevent cold air, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside. The SmartSump sump pump was then installed. A drainage matting was installed over the crawlspace floor, which has dimples in it to provide air circulation. Moisture underneath the drainage matting is directed to the sump pump to be pumped out. Over the drainage matting went the CleanSpace vapor barrier. The vapor barrier was placed over the floor and the walls, which was mechanically fastened so the barrier would not fall off the walls. The seamless finish would help control the humidity and moisture in the basement. To finish the project, the team installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system. The dehumidification system would further control the humidity and moisture in the crawlspace, while emptying the water itself, eliminating the need for manual emptying. The system can be set to turn on only when the humidity level is too high (determined by homeowner), minimizing the machine's usage.

Now, Tomi enjoys a dry crawlspace, one she can be confident in that it will remain dry and benefit his home.
