Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Greenville, SC Crawlspace Gets Vapor Barrier and Sump Pump

This home in Greenville, South Carolina was a combination basement and crawlspace. The entire space was suffering from water intrusion issues. The walls would leak during any heavy rain. The water would flood the dirt floor, dry, and leave behind this great mess along the walls and floor. Because the space wasn’t level, the water would also create miniature ponds in the crawlspace that would take days to dry out. It was becoming an enormous problem. Moreover, those issues in the basement would trickle up and into the rest of the home. This issues manifested in swelling the doors, leaving mold and mildew, buckling hardwood floors, and dust mites. The owners, after dealing with these problems, reached out to our company. All-Dry of the Carolinas was able to set them up with a free estimate and quickly get our Design Specialist out to meet them. He surveyed the two spaces and concluded they needed drain tile, CleanSpace, a SmartSump, BrightWall and WaterGuard. The crawlspace is where our crew installed the CleanSpace, SmartSump, and the drain tile. After the installation, the two spaces have never looked better.

Early Beginnings

This was a photo taken during the actual installation process. Our crew took key points within the crawlspace and installed drain tile. The tile is suppose to catch and guide any water that comes into the space towards the sump pump.

Pooling Prevented

Here is an area of the crawlspace that especially needed the drain tile. Without the tile, the trench would fill with water without moving. The installed tile can now prevent that pooling and guide it.

Not Just For Looks

Our patented CleanSpace liner is installed on top of the tile. We carry the CleanSpace up at least three inches along any support or protrusion in the surrounding area. This method helps to keep the water vapor from escaping from the dirt and into the crawlspace.

It's Flexible

The CleanSpace liner, unlike any other barrier, is both durable and flexible. It can be sealed over almost any surface. It's almost impossible to rip or tear, so it can even cover gravel.

It Works Out

Crawlspaces like this one can be a huge bother. The surface isn't even and water can easily pool into the valleys created by the dirt. Our system erases that problem. We've installed the sump pump in the lowest point of the crawlspace, so it can easily collect any water the space may accumulate.

SmartSump Pumps It Out

The SmartSump has a unique lid design so water from a plumbing leak fills an alarm pocket on the lid first, sounding the WaterWatch Alarm. From there, the water flows down an airtight floor drain that lets water down, but denies damp air any entry.
