Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace in Clemson, SC Has Drainage Matting and then CleanSpace Installed

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times. Dirt Crawlspaces are not your friends and cement blocks are not what you think they are. Both are big welcome signs for moisture in your crawlspace. Houses with dirt crawlspaces have damp air. That’s as simple as it gets. This damp air uses more energy to both heat and cool. If you do something about this problem, you can save a great deal of money.  How much money? You may save 15% to 25%. Cement blocks are just as problematic. They are mostly commonly used today, but that does not mean they are a good choice. These block walls are the easiest and cheapest use; however, they are hollow and extremely porous. In other words, they allow both water and air right into the crawlspace. To protect your home from the moisture, you need a sufficient barrier. That’s where we come into play. This Clemson, South Carolina home was experiencing the very issues outlined above. And whenever there would be a heavy down pouring of rain, the walls would let in copious amounts of water. It was a problem that just wasn’t going to fix itself. The homeowners finally decided to do something about it when they called us: All-Dry of the Carolinas. We were able to set them up with our Design Specialist for a free estimate. He concluded that what the crawlspace needed was CleanSpace and Drainage Matting. These two combined created the perfect barrier to protect the crawlspace from moisture.
