Photo Album: Crawl space made healthy in Marion, OH

  • The homeowner wants to correct this humid, moldy crawl space. These conditions can lead to an unhealthy living environment potentially causing allergies and other health issues.
  • The insulation in the crawl space is falling apart.
  • Here is another view of the crawl space insulation that is no longer working. It is falling out of place!
  • Mold and moisture can be seen on this failing insulation. This has contributed to the high humidity in the crawl space.
  • Here is another view of the unhealthy crawl space with high humidity, mold, and old insulation.
  • The entire crawl space has been encapsulated with Crawlseal, a thick liner that dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air. You can also see that the mold and old insulation has been removed from the area.
  • This is the new Crawlseal encapsulated crawl space. This liner will prevent mold growth and rot in the crawl space and make the whole house healthier.
  • The Crawlseal liner is completely sealed over the floor and walls to fully isolate the home environment from the earth. The result is an attractive, bright, tough, impervious liner, and a healthy home above it!
  • The improved crawl space is now clean and dry, and free of moisture, mold, and old insulation.
  • Here is another view of the crawl space made healthier by Crawlseal.
  • The dehumidifier eliminates damp, musty odors in the crawl space by drying and filtering the air.
  • The SafeDri Pro is designed specifically for crawl spaces. It features a two-piece airtight lid, allowing easy access, so water sitting in the sump hole doesn't constantly evaporate into the crawl space. The lid and unique sump liner are designed to accept the Crawlseal System for an airtight seal.
  • The FreezeGuard System allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. Even if the pipe outlet is buried under a foot of ice and snow, the water can escape, allowing the sump pump to keep the crawl space dry.

Album Description

During a project at a home in Marion, OH, a plumber noticed an extremely humid and moldy crawl space. The homeowner contacted Ohio Basement Authority, and several installations were completed in five days.

The existing insulation was removed first, and the entire crawl space was sprayed with mold treatment. The CrawlDrain drainage system was installed along the full perimeter, and connected to two SafeDri Pro sump pumps. Drainage matting and Crawlseal liner was then installed, encapsulating the entire area. A dehumidifier was also installed in the crawl space, along with a FreezeGuard sump pump discharge line system outdoors.
