Wet Crawl Space in Mount Carmel, IL

A generous amount of water was seeping into the crawl space from the outside in Mount Carmel, IL. The water had caused mold to form due to the humid climate. If the material is organic, dead, and wet, mold knows to eat it and since the crawl space is made of organic materials that are also wet, it causes the crawl space to be infested with mold. It is common to see heavy rain on the radar during the springtime, while in the summer, the weather can be relatively dry. Once the dry season approaches, it gets humid in the crawl space, causing the water that seeped into the crawl space to form mold. Mold released airborne spores, which are so light they float on the slightest air currents, off to find more suitable places to grow. 

A vapor barrier is the best solution for this type of problem. To create the best functioning vapor barrier, CleanSpace is installed throughout the space, to seal off air from leaking into the crawl space. A sump pump was installed to pump away access water 24/7 that would enter the space from the ground. A corner of the crawl space was closed off to prevent water from leaking since there was suspicion that that was where the main water was coming in through. It relieved the homeowner to find the crawl space dry and easily accessible!
