Before - Unsealed Crawl Space with High Moisture Risk
This crawl space in Cary, NC was in rough shape. The floor was bare dirt, insulation was falling from the joists, and ductwork was exposed to moisture and contaminants. Without a vapor barrier or proper drainage, the space was vulnerable to mold, wood rot, and poor air quality inside the home.
Drainage Matting Supports Moisture Flow and Liner Protection
To begin the transformation, our team installed drainage matting across the crawl space floor. This dimpled layer creates channels for any water beneath the liner to flow to the sump pump system, laying the foundation for long-lasting water control in this Cary home.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Creates a Sealed, Dry Environment
Next, we installed the CleanSpace liner throughout the crawl space, fully encapsulating the area and wrapping each support pier. This sealed barrier prevents moisture from rising into the crawl space air, keeping the home above dry and protected.
Sedona Dehumidifier Adds Climate Control to Encapsulated Space
With the space now sealed, we added a Sedona dehumidifier to manage humidity levels. This system keeps the crawl space air dry, which prevents mold growth and improves indoor air quality in the living space above. It's a must-have in the Cary climate.
SmartSump Installation for Effective Crawl Space Drainage
The final piece of the system: a SmartSump sump pump designed specifically for crawl spaces. Installed at the lowest point, it collects water from the drainage system and removes it before it can accumulate giving this Cary homeowner peace of mind no matter the weather.
