Iron Ochre
The presence of iron ochre in this homeowner's crawl space was a clear red flag, this rust-colored sludge forms when groundwater consistently seeps in, signaling ongoing moisture intrusion that can lead to serious damage if left unaddressed.
During TripleSafe Install
To protect this crawl space from further water intrusion, our crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. We began by digging a sump pit at the lowest point to collect incoming water. The TripleSafe was then securely placed and connected to interior drainage, offering three levels of pump protection, including a battery backup, to ensure reliable performance even during power outages or heavy rainfall.
Installing Drainage Matting
Our crew installed Drainage Matting across the crawl space floor to create a clear drainage path for water to flow beneath the vapor barrier. The matting features raised dimples that help channel moisture toward the sump pump system, preventing water buildup and creating a stable, dry surface for further waterproofing.
SilverGlo Insulation Panels
The crew added our SilverGlo Insulation Panels along the crawl space walls to improve energy efficiency and moisture control. These panels feature a reflective radiant barrier and foam insulation core that help regulate temperature, reduce heat loss, and resist water absorption, creating a warmer, drier, and more efficient space beneath the home.
SuperSump Premier
The SuperSump Premier is a reliable, high-performance sump pump designed for everyday protection. With a powerful ⅓ HP pump and an airtight lid, it quietly removes water while preventing odors and humidity from escaping.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
TripleSafe offers triple the protection with a primary pump, secondary backup, and battery-powered unit. It ensures the crawl space stays dry, even during pump failure, power outages, or heavy rainfall.
IceGuard Discharge Line
IceGuard provides added protection by allowing water to escape through specially designed openings if the discharge line freezes. This prevents backup and flooding during cold weather, keeping your system running smoothly year-round.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
CleanSpace is a durable, 20-mil thick vapor barrier that seals off your crawl space from ground moisture. It helps prevent mold, wood rot, and musty odors, creating a clean, dry, and protected environment beneath your home.
SaniDry Sedona
The SaniDry Sedona is a powerful yet energy-efficient dehumidifier that controls humidity and improves air quality. It removes excess moisture, discourages mold growth, and helps protect your home's structure from long-term damage.
The Importance Waterproofing
Waterproofing this homeowner's crawl space was essential to protect against ongoing moisture intrusion that can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality. By sealing the space and controlling humidity, we created a dry, healthy, and energy-efficient environment, safeguarding both the home's foundation and the health of its occupants.
