Photo Album: Before and After: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Basement Waterproofing in Gahanna, OH

  • This is one of the two crawl spaces under the home. Both had issues with seeping water, moisture, mold, and failing insulation and liners. All of these problems are ingredients for unhealthy crawl spaces, which also affect the health of the rest of the home.
  • The appearance and health of the crawl space has been improved by a complete encapsulation in Crawlseal liner. CrawlDrain was also installed in the floor under the liner to catch any seeping water. The SafeDri Pro in the corner will pump any water out of and away from the crawl space. ExTremeBloc panels were also installed to help insulate the crawl space.
  • Water used to seep into the basement in this corner. Even though there was a sump pump in this area, evidence of its failure is visible on the floor and walls. This is not a healthy or ideal area to be used for storage.
  • This area already looks better once the sub-floor BasementGutter drainage system was installed, and the sump pump was replaced by the reliable SafeDri Pro X pump. A powerful dehumidifier was also installed to filter the air and control humidity. It drains directly into the SafeDri.

Album Description

After living in their house for many years, homeowners in Gahanna, OH, were starting to worry about the health of their home. They noticed issues with dampness, mold and water intrusion, especially during heavy rains. Since they plan to live in the house for several more years, they wanted to take steps to correct these issues.

They contacted Ohio Basement Authority, and we encapsulated two crawl spaces under the home in durable Crawlseal liner. Other crawl space repair products installed in the crawl spaces included ExTremeBloc insulation panels, the CrawlDrain drainage system and a SafeiDri Pro sump pump.

Waterproofing products were also installed to keep the basement dry, including the BasementGutter drainage system, a SafeDri Prox sump pump, and a dehumidifier. All of these permanent solutions will keep the basement and crawl spaces dry, and dramatically improve the health of the home
