Photo Album: Crawl Space Mold and Moisture Protection in Jacksonville, FL

The crawl space encapsulation project involved sealing off the vents to prevent outside air from entering. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system, which effectively blocks moisture and humidity. The StarPipe interior drainage system was added to manage any water that might enter the space, directing it to the SmartSump Pump system for removal. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain optimal humidity levels, ensuring a dry and healthy crawl space. These systems work together to protect the space from moisture, mold, and structural damage, providing a long-term solution for the damp crawl space.

Sump Location

The sump pump is installed at the lowest point in the crawl space. This is where water will drain to, pool and stagnate.

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

The CleanSpace System is a heavy-duty vapor barrier that we install in crawl spaces. It's designed to keep moisture and humidity out, helping to prevent mold and mildew. The barrier is made of a durable, puncture-resistant material that covers the walls and floor, creating a clean and dry environment. It's a simple but effective way to protect your home from excess moisture and improve air quality.

Moisture and Dirt Floors

Dirt floors in crawl spaces aren't good because they can lead to several issues. They allow moisture to seep in, which can cause mold growth, wood rot, and attract pests. Moisture can also lead to poor indoor air quality as it rises into the living areas of your home. Additionally, dirt floors can make the crawl space damp and musty, which can affect the structural integrity of your home over time. Encapsulating the crawl space with a vapor barrier helps prevent these problems and keeps the area dry and healthy.

Crawl Space Sump Pump

The crawl space SmartSump Pump System is designed to remove water that accumulates in your crawl space. It includes a sump pump that automatically activates when water levels rise, effectively pumping the water out and away from your home. This system helps prevent flooding, moisture buildup, and potential water damage, keeping your crawl space dry and protected.
