Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Water Flowing Through Crawlspace Wall in Simpsonville, SC Gets Full Encapsulation

This home in Simpsonville, South Carolina was having a lot of problems due to water entering the crawlspace. The water was coming through the wall at a pretty significant rate when it would rain. In order to help this homeowner from dealing with this issues even more.

Water Coming through Crawlspace Wall

This photo shows just how much water was coming through this part of the crawlspace wall. This is not just a small damp spot on the wall, but the water can actually be seen glimmering off of the wall. This was certainly something that needed to be dealt with professionally.

More Water Leaking Through Wall

Here is another glimpse at water pouring in from outside. While this is not gushing water, it is much more than one should feel comfortable with. Again, it is not just a damp spot on the wall, but rather a continuous flow of water through the wall.

Installed CleanSpace Liner

Here is a view of the CleanSpace Liner that was laid down in the crawlspace of this home. The liner prevents water vapor from getting into the crawlspace, which in turn prevents mold and mildew to grow in the crawlspace. It even can help to regulate your home's temperature and lower energy bills.

All You Have to do is Seal, Seal, Seal

This project was almost finished at this point, there was only one step left to do: seal the CleanSpace to the wall. This is probably the most important part of all because if the liner is not sealed to the wall, the water vapor is still able to get into the crawlspace relatively easily.

Installed Dehumidifier

Here is the dehumidifier that was installed in this crawlspace. While the CleanSpace keeps the majority of the water vapor from getting into the crawlspace, some is still able to make it into the area. This is why we also install dehumidifiers, because it takes out any excess water vapor from the crawlspace.

Another View of the Installed CleanSpace Liner

Here is a better, wider view of the CleanSpace that was installed in this crawlspace. You can see that in some areas of the crawlspace (like where the water was coming in), the CleanSpace goes all of the way up the wall, this is so that the water and water vapor does not get in and stay in the crawlspace.

One Last View of the CleanSpace

Here is one last picture of some of the CleanSpace that was installed in the crawlspace. You can even see how the bottom portion of the pillars are wrapped, so that there is no exposed or semi-exposed ground.
