Crawl Space Annual Maintenance in Lewes, DE
Challenge
These wise homeowners in Lewes, DE made a great decision back in 2013 when they chose to have Dr. Energy Saver install a CleanSpace™ Crawlspace Encapsulation System with a Sedona™ SaniDry dehumidifier in their home.
But as with all things, time and wear has its effects. So an annual maintenance program is essential to keep all things in tip top shape and functioning effectively.
The CleanSpace™ Encapsulation can serve another very useful purpose: water leaks, of which the occupants above maybe totally unaware, are made much more visible on the clean white surfaces of the CleanSpace liner, and are occasionally discovered during annual inspections.
Other than a few water spots on the liner, which were likely caused by condensation on overhanging sewer lines, this CleanSpace™ System was looking almost as clean and bright as the day it was installed and the Sedona™ SaniDry dehumidifier was doing a fine job of keeping the crawlspace nice and dry.
Solution
Lawson Home Services continues to perform the annual maintenance inspections on this home. Inspection of the CleanSpace Encapsulation involves a close inspection of the liner for wear and tear.
The SaniDry dehumidifier drain lines are inspected and cleaned as needed, the filter changed, and the unit tested for proper functioning.
When our inspectors discover water leaks or other issues they immediately begin a search to identify the cause. These findings are reported to the homeowner, allowing them the opportunity to be proactive in dealing with the issue, before it blows up into a major situation. If the issue is something that falls within the scope of the services offered by Lawson Home Services the inspector can assist in making arrangements for Lawson's crew to come and remedy the problem.
