Expert Crawl Space Repair Contractor in Cleburne County, AR

This customer called us saying there was a leak in their basement. John inspected the basement and found that one of the walls in the basement had serious damage and needed to be repaired. They were also going to need some products that would waterproof the basement, so they did not experience this problem again.

To fix the wall that was water damaged in the home we installed Wall Restoration, this is replaces the bottom half of the wall that has been affected by the water, either with mold or wood rot. This finish is immune from mold and moisture damage so this problem will not occur again. We also installed ThermalDry Wall which is a finish that goes over stone and other irregular walls, it created a moisture and vapor barrier to control the humidity in the basement. To prevent the floor of the basement from being damaged by water we installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard works at a catch for any seepage in the walls or floors.  We had to install a SuperSump and an UltraSump to pump the water out of the basement. This homeowner is not enjoying a water free basement. 

This homeowner was concerned about some of the smells that were coming from the crawl space. The system design specialist went under the home to find that there was insulation that had fallen, and was damp from the moisture of the dirt floors. He created a plan that would eliminate this problem and any others in the future.

The crew had to start by removing that insulation and grading the floors to remove any holes that water could sit in. After the crawl space was prepped EZ flow was installed. This directs any water towards the pump and out of the crawl space. Drainage matting was also installed to assist directing the water. To pump the water out a SuperSump was installed, this works to ensure that the crawl space stays dry. For the humidity problem a SaniDry Sedona was installed, this is the most energy efficient dehumidifier on the market. This homeowner is now enjoying a healthy home from the ground up! 

The best way to create a vapor barrier is to completely and permanently isolate the home from the earth. For this homeowner in Drasco, we installed three products to effectively isolate and eliminate any moisture in the air. The first thing we installed was our Drainage Matting- The drainage matting is installed by carefully cutting and installing in sections and seams are sealed with CleanSpace tape. The drainage matting has dimples that allow better conductivity for water to get to the perimeter drainage or sump pump, which would be located at the lowest spot in the crawl space. 

The CleanSpace liner completely isolates your home from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air which when combined with sealing outside air and dehumidification, will eliminate mold growth and rot from your crawl space and make the whole house healthier. Trained installers will remove wood and organic materials from your crawl space floor. Rocks and uneven surfaces are leveled, depending on the crawl space conditions. 

The CleanSpace liner is carefully cut and installed. The workers will usually be working in their socks to keep the liner clean. That's how clean your crawl space will be. Small holes are drilled into the top of your crawl space walls, and nylon fasteners are installed to permanently secure the CleanSpace liner to the walls. 

The top edge of the CleanSpace liner is sealed to the walls with a polyurethane sealant. All seams are sealed with special 4" wide sealing tape and or sealant made for the CleanSpace liner. The CleanSpace liner is also sealed around other objects such as pipes, columns, and piers with any combination of sealants or concrete. 

The last thing we installed was our SaniDry Sedona- The SaniDry Sedona eliminates damp, musty odors in your basement or crawlspace by drying and filtering the air!

Whether a dehumidifier will keep up and ensure mold won't grow in all seasonal conditions depends on how much water it will take out of the air. This depends on capacity and airflow. The SaniDry Sedona has a whopping 100 pints per day capacity and will move over 300 cubic feet of dry air per minute around your basement or crawl space. This dries the building materials and contents of your home and makes that damp feeling go away!

Lois H. called into Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas concerned about mold growth and moisture in her crawl space. We quickly got one of our System Design Specialists out to Lois's home to give her a free inspection and a plan to solve her problems. Our specialist determined that the crawl space would need our Mold-X-2 treatment, a SmartSump Sump Pump System, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Our Mold-X-2 can be used to neutralize mold growth at the time of application. Our SmartSump Sump Pump System is a drainage system designed just for crawl spaces.
