Fountain Inn, SC's Preferred Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Experts

Some crawlspaces don’t need a full encapsulation to deliver it from its moisture problems. Take this Fountain Inn, South Carolina crawlspace as an example. The majority of its floor is dirt. The air conditioning ducts are all dripping condensate and releasing moisture into the crawlspace. The vents were also open to the outside. The solution for this crawlspace was a simple one.

First and foremost, all of the vents needed to be sealed. That was the first task. Drainage Matting was placed along the floor. This matting is a polyethylene membrane. It acts as an insulator to make crawling on your hands and knees a lot easier. Over the membrane, our preferred CleanSpace liner is installed. This thick, reinforced liner is pulled tight over the floor and the walls. We wrap every pier in this liner we can avoid compromising its security. Lastly, to remove the moisture from the air, we install a dehumidifier. This product actually sucks in the moisture from the air and releases dried air into the crawlspace.

The smooth installation was all thanks to our great team here at All-Dry of the Carolinas. Daniel Lauer, our Sales Manager, went out and gave the free estimate. As soon as the proposal was approved, the dates were given and our crew went out to complete the flawless install.

Now, it’s a brand new CleanSpace with a brand new look and no more moisture.

Nothing says “I need help” like a crawlspace with excessive moisture issues. And these issues can spring from anywhere too. They can come from the walls, or, believe it or not, they can come from the dirt. Dirt, if exposed to your crawlspace, can allow water vapor into your crawlspace and right into your home. If you ever wonder where all that water was coming from, or why the humidity in the crawlspace was so high, you have your answer. A dirt crawlspace opens the door for an assortment of problems. One problem this Fountain Inn, South Carolina homeowner experienced was a moisture issue in the wood. And, as you know, termites just love wet wood.

So, they decided they needed to get that problem squared away before it escalates. After a thorough internet search, they found us, All-Dry of the Carolinas. We were able to set up an appointment for a free estimate and have our Design Specialist at their property as soon as we could manage. He was able to comb through the entire crawlspace. While taking pictures, he was able to deduce the main source of the problem and write out a solution to solve it. The customers were all ears. They were more excited than we were to begin the work, and we can’t blame them.

Our crew installed CleanSpace, the brilliant white liner, drainage matting, sealed the vents, and brought in a Sedona dehumidifier. The installation itself only took a few days to finish. When everything was said and done, they walked away with a new and improved crawlspace. We walked away with a very satisfied customer.
