Water Chaos in the Crawl Space in Owensboro, KY

When water gets into your crawl space, it can affect the floor above. If wood is exposed to water for an extended amount of time, it can damage the structure of the home and attract mold. A couple in Owensboro, Kentucky had noticed a large amount of water had been entering their crawl space. The humidity and moisture had created a comfy place for mold to stay. 

The solution for groundwater leakage is to install a SmartSump pump in the ground. The SmartSump is a specially designed system that has a sturdy liner, floor drain in the lid, reliable cast-iron pump, stand, and an alarm. The alarm is helpful in case the pumps ever failed or a plumbing leak occurs. Next, a drainage system such as the dimpled matting is laid across the crawl space's dirt floor. These dimples will hold water and allow it to flow toward the sump. Once the drainage system is put in CleanSpace is secured on top of the dimpled matting. CleanSpace had an antimicrobial additive in the liner that will prevent mold growth from forming. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is plugged in to run whenever humidity is detected. This makes it very hard for mold to exist. All products are paired together to create a healthy, effective system for the crawl space, providing relief to the couple!
