Home Insulation Services Photo Album: Leaky Crawl Space in Milford, DE
This homeowner in Milford, DE was struggling with their leaky crawl space. Many home owners have crawl space walls built out of concrete. Hollow concrete block allows water to leak into the crawl space. This saturates the dirt floor in the crawl space creates condensation in the crawl space. The results are wet, damp and moldy crawl spaces.
Dr. Energy Saver solves leaky crawl spaces by installing a combination of SmartSump, SmartPipe and CleanSpace Drainage Matting system.
The SmartSump is installed at the lowest spot of the crawl space to collect the access water and pump it outside. SmartPipe is installed around the perimeter of the crawl space to drain water from the walls. Lastly, CleanSpace Drainage Matting is installed over the dirt floor. The drainage matting is dimpled to create airspace for the water to flow to the SmartSump.
Now the homeowner can have a clean and dry crawl space! No more mold, no more odors and no more mess!
