Photo Album: Nasty Crawl Space in Pickerington, OH, is Transformed by Crawlseal Encapsulation and Other Repairs

  • The failing liner and insulation, coupled with water intrusion, created an unhealthy crawl space, which also affects the rest of the home.
  • One of our installation crew members drills weep holes into the bottom block in the crawl space. This will allow any seeping water to drain into the CrawlDrain drainage system that will be installed.
  • The CrawlDrain drainage system and a SafeDri Pro sump pump is installed to keep seeping water out of the crawl space.
  • During the crawl space encapsulation project, drainage matting is placed on the floor to allow water to drain to the CrawlDrain, as well as enhance the Crawlseal liner's durability.
  • The crawl space has now been completely encapsulated in Crawlseal. This thick, durable liner serves as a moisture and vapor barrier, and dramatically improves the health and appearance of the crawl space.
  • The SafeDri Pro sump pump is the ideal sump pump to install in a crawl space. Its lid and unique sump liner are designed to accept the Crawlseal system, for an airtight seal.

Album Description

They rarely go into their crawl space, but homeowners in Pickerington, OH, knew something was wrong with this area underneath their house. They recently noticed issues with water intrusion, and the insulation and plastic liner was beginning to fail.

This is the perfect mixture for an unhealthy crawl space, which affects the health and air quality of the rest of the house. Hoping to correct this, the owners contacted Ohio Basement Authority.

We installed several permanent crawl space repair solutions including CrawlDrain drainage, a SafeDri Pro sump pump, and Crawlseal liner. Other waterproofing products such as new downspout conductor lines were installed, and a FreezeGuard was attached to the exterior sump pump discharge line.

These products meet the homeowners' goals of fixing groundwater seepage and controlling moisture from the earth. They were eager to have these projects completed so their home will always be a safe and healthy living environment.
