Mount Vernon, IN Crawlspaces Experience Frequent Flooding

Recently, my family and I had the pleasure of visiting Sherburne Park and we were able to enjoy an amazing view of the Ohio River. I admit that I absolutely love rivers and streams and the Ohio is gorgeous. Visiting Mount Vernon is always a pleasure because there are just so many opportunities to enjoy the riverfront. Thankfully, I get to visit frequently because of my work with Healthy Spaces, who repairs flooding basement and crawlspaces and makes sure they are dry all the time.

Mt. Vernon Homeowners call Healthy Spaces to repair their flooding crawlspaces whenever the groundwater table rises or the Ohio River experiences flooding. In many cases, crawlspace flooding can go unnoticed for months or years! Due to Mt. Vernon's proximity to the riverfront, sudden crawlspace flooding is a common occurrence and homeowners are watchful. Standard plastic vapor barriers, such as the one pictured to the right, are completely ineffectual in handling the muddy, wet soil. The only way to truly create a crawlspace that is healthy and dry is to encapsulate it.

Healthy Spaces uses the CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation system complete with the SmartPipe Drain system, self-draining dehumidifier, and quality Zoeller Sump Pumps. CleanSpace is a 20-mil poly-reinforced crawl space liner with a special additive called "Ultrafresh" that resists mold and mildew growth. When coupled with a SmartPipe Drainage system, Cleanspace completely isolates the home from the dirt beneath and will create a healthy crawlspace. Many homes in Mt. Vernon do require mold remediation at the same time that the SmartPipe drain system is installed and the crawlspace is lined with Cleanspace.

If your home's crawlspace has outdated, failing crawlspace liners, experiences seasonal flooding, smells moldy and musty, or has a muddy dirt floor, it's time to contact Healthy Spaces for a crawlspace encapsulation quote. Most installations can be completed in just a couple of days! Contact us for your free quote today!
