Photo Album: Transforming a Wet, Filthy Crawl Space to a Clean, Healthy One in Wall Township, NJ

Flooded Crawl Space

The homeowner had a severe water leak in her crawl space. It was repaired, but severe damage was done.

Prep It

In order to prevent mold from growing, we removed whatever flooring was left and cleaned up all the debris.

Encapsulating the Crawl Space

Next, we installed a dimpled drainage matting, which allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the new sump pump we installed. Afterward, we installed a vapor barrier.

How the Vapor Barrier Works

The vapor barrier is a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene that is treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth.

Broken Dehumidifier

We replaced this large, broken dehumidifier...

SaniDry Dehumidifier

...with a commercial-grade SaniDry dehumidifier. These dehumidifiers are maintenance-free, turn on and off automatically with a built-in hygrometer, and there is no water tray to empty or overflow.

SilverGlo™

We installed SilverGlo™, which is a waterproof foam insulation that seals the walls from outside moisture and humidity to the walls of the crawl space.

A Healthy Crawl Space

Now the homeowner has a dry, clean, and healthy crawl space.
