Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: CleanSpace and Santa Fe Edge II Facilitates Crawlspace Clean-up in Blythewood, SC

Crawlspaces are messy places. There is no denying that simple fact. This Blythewood, South Carolina homeowner knew that all too well. That’s why they went ahead and had a liner installed over their crawlspace dirt floor. The only problem is that it wasn’t properly sealed. There were holes, gaps, and wrinkles everywhere in the liner. Moreover, the water dripping into the crawlspace was not helping matters in the least. The owners were tired of it. Finally, they called us to handle the problem. We sent out Alex Rogers, our Design Specialist, and had him give her a free estimate. Taking his time, he combed every inch of the crawlspace. We have here a few of the photos of what he found. It’s a lot like other crawlspaces. Brick or cement block walls are common traits of crawlspaces and so are dirt floors. However, just because something is common, it does not mean that it is correct. This homeowner explained that she was having water intrusion issues in her crawlspace. It’s easy to see why when she has brick walls. Brick is, of course, very porous and so any water or moisture could easily slip through the material and into the crawlspace. What our Design Specialist did was prescribe a number of products to remove the moisture issue altogether. He suggested our patented CleanSpace liner, a condensate pump, and a Santa Fe Edge II dehumidifier. All of these combine to facilitate the best crawlspace moisture clean-up you’ve ever seen. Our customer—the homeowner—undoubtedly agrees.

First Sight

This is one of the first things our Design Specialist noticed when he stepped into the crawlspace. A few things immediately stand out to us. One thing in particular-the liner-arrests our attention the most.

What We Know

One product we pride ourselves on is our CleanSpace liner. It is nothing like the simple plastic here. Being transparent isn't a crime, however, often that transparency shows us how thin it really is. This liner, for example, is both thin and unsealed. In other words, it can't do its job.

Questions? Answers.

One major difference between our liner and the old liner is the way they're sealed. The old liner is not sealed at all. Our liner, the CleanSpace, is carried up, at the very least, three inches on every support or surface in the room. Once we do this, we seal it using a variety of methods designed to keep the air and moisture from weaseling their way into the crawlspace from the dirt.

The Ultra-Clean

Before we installed this liner, all debris was removed from the crawlspace. Regardless, even if we hadn't done that, I wouldn't have been too worried. This liner is reinforced with polyester cords and is 20 mils thick. It's nearly impossible to rip or tear.

Bright, New Look

CleanSpace is a miracle worker. It gives any room its installed in a bright, new look. It makes any room look both smaller and bigger at the same time.

CleanSpace Wall Installed Along Brick

Unlike other liners, ours can be attached to almost any surface. It holds up for years to come.

Dehumidifier

A crawlspace is not complete without a dehumidifier. In addition to erasing all of the moisture within a space, it takes that air within itself and pumps out newly dried air free of moisture.
