Leitchfield, KY Crawlspace Repair

Monday, May 26th, 2014 by Cassi Sherman Henes

Challenge

This crawlspace in Leitchfield, KY was experiencing groundwater intrusion based flooding. The homeowners were tired of the musty, muddy smell that filled their home and with constantly having to repair and replace their furnace components, due to the flooding. They decided to contact Healthy Spaces for a crawlspace evaluation in order to permanently isolate their crawlspace from the surrounding dirt and create a healthy environment in their home.

Solution

Damon came out to their Leitchfield home and completed a thorough evaluation. He shared his findings with the homeowners that the best way to keep their home healthy and their ctrawlspace from being a source of pain and anguish was to use the CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system with drainage system, SuperSump sump pump system with WaterWatch alarm. In addition, the homeowners elected to install a Turtl crawlspace entry door.

Here, you can see the crawlspace before installation. The area is dark and dank.

As the CleanSpace is installed, a heavy duty tape is used to secure all seams to insure that no water can seep through the liner. In this picture, you can see the seams are in the process of being secured. You can already see a tremendous difference between the original crawlspace and new reflective white surface of the Cleanspace

Here is a shot of another part of the crawlspace. In this picture, you can see that the seams have been properly secured. The Cleanspace been fully installed and secured from the floor to the base of the subfloor.

Here is a picture of the installed WaterWatch alarm, which will sound if the pump is becoming overwhelmed, stops working for any reason, or loses power.

Here is a photo of the completed Turtl crawlspace door. Now, the crawlspace can be secured from the elements and locked!
