This was a very tough, low crawl space with lots of dampness. We had to clean it out first and remove all the organic material. Then we installed a drainage system with a SmartSump to deal with the water issues. The floor and walls were covered with our Cleanspace Encapsulation System to keep the moisture from the ground from evaporating into the air. The result is a transformed, dry, and safe crawl space.
At this Lutherville property, the previous homeowners had their crawl space encapsulated, but now have realized that the last couple of rainstorms caused the vapor barrier to fail. They reached out to our company to come in and re-encapsulate the space. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier that sits on top of a drainage matting that sits flush between foundation and barrier. We also installed our SilverGlo around the foundation walls of the crawl space, which are our graphite-impregnated insulated wall panel that have the ability to hold back moisture and humidity. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will continuously keep moisture down and eliminate the mugginess in the air, giving you overall cleaner air.
This customer had just purchased a home in Chestertown, MD and was in the market to get the crawlspace encapsulated.
We came out and installed our Cleanspace Vapor Barrier with Drainage Matting and a Smart Drain.
In this cobblestone basement, the homeowner noticed the ceiling starting to dip, which caused the upstairs flooring to creak when walking across. In order for us to stabilize and premaritally lift the sagging floor, we installed our SmartJack supplemental galvanized beams with a solid concrete footing. These heavy-duty steel columns are secured to the joist and they can adjust to your custom fit. Our product is designed to stop the area from settling and can lift the sagging floor to its corrected level.
The extremely high moisture levels in this customer's crawlspace had caused significant damage to the center support beam. Here we used existing piers and temporary jacks to lift the floor off the old cracked and rotting beam so we could replace it with new, pressure-treated lumber. Once we replaced the beam, we advised this customer to have a sump system and dehumidifier installed in order to keep the high moisture levels in check.
