Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Troublesome Crawlspace in Lexington, SC Is Reinvented with the Perfect Plan

Nothing is more deceptive than a crawlspace. By only glancing at it, you may think that there is nothing wrong other than a small water problem. You would be incorrect. There’s more than what is on the surface here. On the surface level, this Lexington, South Carolina crawlspace has had its share of problems. Namely, the dirt floor is a huge issue. Many people tend to ignore the dirt floor, and count it as normal. In fact, Building Code allows a dirt floor even if there are problems associated with having a dirt floor. Regardless, having one is extremely problematic. The dirt floor welcomes all sorts of critters into the crawlspace. Another problem is that water vapor actually rises from the dirt and into the crawlspace. What does this vapor bring with it? Moisture. What does moisture do? It increases the humidity within a crawlspace. The humidity makes it not only unbearable to be in, but it also affects the temperature in the rest of the home. The best way to deal with this problem is to install CleanSpace, a dehumidifier, drainage matting, and a condensate pump. Our Design Specialist carefully investigated the crawlspace to come to this conclusion. Our crew, led by Jose Najera, was able to install the products and make the crawlspace look presentable. As the saying goes, “it takes a village.” To completely take care of the moisture issue, all of these products need to work in harmony.
