Before the Crawl Space Upgrade in Apex, NC
The project began with a crawl space covered by an existing black plastic ground liner. Dirt and debris coated the liner, while the block walls and wooden framing remained exposed ahead of the installation.
Drainage Matting Creates the Base Layer
Next, drainage matting was laid across the crawl space floor, with the white vapor barrier partially covering it. The matting's dimpled surface creates space for water to move beneath the liner.
SaniDry Sedona Adds Humidity Control
With the white vapor barrier in place, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed on a raised base. A connected condensate pump helps carry away collected moisture as the unit reduces crawl space humidity.
TripleSafe Sump Pump Adds Water Protection
The installation also included a TripleSafe sump pump system, with discharge pipes routed through the crawl space wall. An UltraSump battery backup adds protection by helping pump out collected water during a power outage.
