Photo Album: Improving the Health of a Crawl Space in Marion, OH

  • The homeowner wants to correct this nasty crawl space that has problems including high humidity and potential mold growth. These conditions can lead to an unhealthy living environment, potentially causing allergies and other health issues.
  • Here is another view of the unhealthy crawl space with high humidity, mold, and old, failing insulation.
  • This is the new and improved crawl space that has greatly benefited from being encapsulated with CrawlSeal liner. This liner will prevent mold growth and rot in the crawl space and make the whole house healthier.
  • The dehumidifier eliminates damp, musty odors in the crawl space by drying and filtering the air. It self-drains into the SafeDri sump pump, as well.
  • The SafeDri 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.

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.

After the existing insulation was removed, the CrawlDrain drainage system was installed along the full perimeter and connected to two SafeDri Pro sump pumps. Drainage matting was placed on the floor, and then CrawlSeal liner was used to encapsulate the entire area. A dehumidifier was also installed in the crawl space to clean and filter the air.

The homeowner is pleased to have a healthier crawl space and home because of these reliable repairs.
