My Crawl Space Flooded- Now What?
The reason crawl spaces flood after rain is that they are not protected from outside elements. Many crawl spaces still have vents, which are supposed to allow air flow to keep the crawl space dry. Unfortunately, all these vents do is allow moisture, humidity, and unconditioned air to flow into the crawl space. Even if a crawl space does not have vents, groundwater can collect in the crawl space and create a moisture problem.
Moisture problems in crawl spaces lead to:
-Mold Growth
-Musty Odors
-Heightened Allergies/ Asthma
-In Home Humidity
-Buckling Hardwood Floors
-Wood Rot/ Rust
To prevent these serious issues, each crawl space needs a professional crawl space encapsulation system. The goal of our crawl space encapsulation system is to keep outside air and moisture out of the crawl space, and condition the air within the crawl space. We do this by sealing off vents and any outside air, placing a drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier on the dirt floor of the crawl space, installing a SmartSump sump pump, and installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
