Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation & Sump Pump Installation in Royston, GA

This home's crawl space was having issues with water intrusion and an increased relative humidity that could have started to cause problems for the homeowner. In this crawl space our crew installed 3-inch drain tile, our Cleanspace Liner, Wall Insulation, as well as a SmartSump Pump. This album will show off what this crawl space looked like before the work was done, as well as after it was completed.

Unencapsulated Crawlspace

This photo shows what the crawlspace looked like before any work was done in the crawlspace. Fortunately this crawlspace was not in that bad of a shape, so it is difficult to point out specific areas where things like water intrusion or mold are located. However, this was mostly a preventative installation, rather than a completely necessary one.

Another View of the Crawlspace Before Installation

Again, there is not too much to report on with this crawlspace. These photos are great for a few reasons; one so that we can show off the difference that our products can make when installed under a home, but an even better reason (which applies even more to older customers) is that we are able to show them exactly what we did for them and exactly what the system looks like, especially when they aren't physically able to go down and see it.

Signs of Water Intrusion

Although this was mainly a proactive type of installation, there are some signs of water intrusion in the crawlspace. While there is not much in this photo, there is some insulation the has fallen and hanging, which is often a sign of water intrusion.

Old CrawlSpace Liner

In this photo, there is a balled up liner of some sort. Obviously not how it was meant to be laid out, but that's probably because whoever was trying to lay it out got frustrated. Installing these Liner can me very annoying and time-consuming, and that's just using basic liners which often do not get sealed. Our crews are experts at this, with many of our installers having over 10 years experience, they are able to knock these crawlspaces quicker than not.

Installed CleanSpace Liner

Here is the first view of the encapsulated crawlspace using our CleanSpace liner. This homeowner opted for the CleanSpace Wall as well, which means that CleanSpace liner was installed almost all the way up the crawlspace walls. This helps to keep water out even more, because any water that comes through the walls, will roll down the liner and go through the drain tile.

Expertly Sealed Crawlspaces

One of the most important parts of installing our CleanSpace liner is making sure that everything is sealed up completely. This photo shows just how far our installers go to make sure everything is done correctly. Even the supports have been sealed under this unit, so that no water vapor will get into the crawlspace.

Installed SmartSump Pump

Here is the sump pump that was installed in this crawlspace, a SmartSump pump system. The SmartSump is one of the three different type of sump pumps that we have available for installation. The SmartSump is a great system that can protect your home from even more than just a wet crawlspace. This sump system has a Zoeller 1/3 hp cast iron pump, capable of pumping over 2,500 gallons of water per hour. while there are several more great things to say about this system, the WaterWatch Alarm is one of the most helpful. While it doesn't happen often, plumbing leaks can be a danger, especially with a completely encapsulated area. The WaterWatch alarm is able to notify the homeowner about this "breach".

Encapsulated Crawlspace with CleanSpace Liner

Here is another view of the encapsulated crawlspace. This photo shows a pretty good view of a large area, as well as the seam between the CleanSpace floor liner and the CleanSpace Wall. Another cool thing in the photo that can be seen is how the crew was able to seal around the pipe that was in the wall.

Top of CleanSpace Liner and Wall

Here is the final photo from this project, showing the very top of the wall in the crawlspace. This shows how far that our liner can be installed on the wall. We generally leave a few inches of space so that if any contractors, i.e. termite/pest control need to do any work towards the top of the wall, they don't have to worry about our system and we don't have to worry about interfering with their work!
