Before: A Damp, Unprotected Crawl Space in Clayton, NC
This Clayton, NC crawl space showed clear signs that moisture protection was needed. The exposed ground, deteriorating liner, and hanging insulation created conditions where moisture and humidity could become ongoing concerns beneath the home. Our team began by preparing the crawl space for a complete moisture-control transformation.
Installing StarPipe Drainage for Crawl Space Water Control
With the crawl space prepared, our team installed the StarPipe drainage system along the interior perimeter. StarPipe is designed to collect groundwater entering the crawl space and direct it toward the sump pump system, helping keep water from accumulating beneath the home.
Adding Drainage Matting for Extra Moisture Protection
Next, our team installed drainage matting across the crawl space floor. The dimpled surface creates a drainage space beneath the encapsulation liner, allowing water to move toward the drainage system while providing a durable base for the next stage of the crawl space encapsulation.
TripleSafe Sump Pump System for Reliable Water Removal
With the drainage system in place, our team installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to collect and remove water from the crawl space. Working together with the StarPipe drainage and encapsulation system, the TripleSafe provides added protection against groundwater and helps keep this Clayton, NC crawl space dry.
Controlling Humidity & Supporting the Home
Next, our team installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control humidity and keep the newly encapsulated crawl space dry. SmartJack support posts were also installed to provide additional support to the floor system above, addressing both moisture and structural concerns as part of this Clayton, NC crawl space transformation.
Sealing the Crawl Space with a New Access Door
To complete the transformation, our team installed a new sealed crawl space access door. The secure door helps prevent outside air, humidity, and moisture from entering the crawl space, completing the moisture-control system and helping protect this Clayton, NC home long-term.
