Home Insulation Services Photo Album: Crawl Space that Leaks Groundwater in Crisfield, MD
A homeowner in Crisfield, MD was struggling with their leaky crawl space.
Many crawl spaces were built out of hollow concrete block which allows water to leak into the crawl space. This causes the dirt floor in the crawl space to become saturated. This creates high humidity in the crawl space which leads to mold growth and odors.
Dr. Energy Saver's solution to leaky crawl spaces is CleanSpace Encapsulation System by installing SmartSump, SmartPipe, and CleanSpace Drainage matting.
The SmartSump is installed at the lowest point of the crawl space so it can collect water and pump it outside the crawl space.
SmartPipe is installed around the perimeter of the crawl space to drain water from the walls.
The CleanSpace Drainage Matting is installed along the dirt floor of the crawl space. The Drainage matting is dimpled to create air space for water to flow.
After Dr. Energy Saver installs CleanSpace liner to properly encapsulate the crawl space, the crawl space is now water free, mold free and clean!
