Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Pennsville, NJ Install - CleanSpace

This Pennsville crawl space has water-related issues. Two of their sump pumps have failed, and the water is starting to damage the supports. The Dry Guys crew went in to encapsulate the space and add two patented sump pumps.

Entrance to the Crawl Space

This bilco door is the entrance to a very wet crawl space in Pennsville, New Jersey.

Inside Entrance

This is the stairs down from the bilco door, right away there is a puddle of water on the floor of the space.

Damp Walls and Open Vents

In this image, the walls of the crawls space are visibly damp. One of the biggest issues in a crawl space is open vent covers that let in damp air.

Wet Dirt Floor

The dirt floor is extremely wet in this crawl space. The water line on the cinder block wall also shows how high the water has come in the past.

Standing Water

This amount of standing water in the crawl space can be very bad for your home. This can cause anything from mold to poor air quality in your entire home.

Saturated Block Support

The bottom block in this support is extremely damp. This can cause erosion, and if left unchecked, can collapse the entire support.

Rust

The moisture in the air is causing any exposed metal to rust.

Mold Growing

Water on an Insulated Pipe

The moisture in the air is collecting in droplets along this pipe.

Thick Mold

There is thick mold forming on this support. Mold like this can damage the wood in your home and end up being dangerous.

Standing Water

This image shows a very large puddle of standing water in the crawl space.

Mold Closeup

Another Section of the Crawl Space

This image shows another support that has crumbled and has water damage along the bottom.

Open Vent

A large source of damp outside air is the numerous open vents in this crawl space.

Open Vent and Wet Pipe

This image shows how the moisture collects on the pipes near the open vents.

Old Dehumidifier

It's very obvious that this dehumidifier is not doing its job in this crawl space. At this point it is just sitting there uselessly as the space floods.

Old Sump Pump

Just like the dehumidifier, this sump is out of its league in this crawl space.

Hanging Insulation

In this area where the insulation is not held up where it should be, it is damp and hanging down uselessly.

Another Failed Sump

Just like the other, this sump pump has failed at pumping the water out of the crawl space.

Saturated Insulation

This soaking insulation is definitely doing its job as it lays uselessly on the ground.

Soaking Ground

Another area in the crawl space where the ground is completely saturated.

Raising the Ground Level

Gravel is used to level off the lower parts of the crawl space before the CleanSpace is installed.

New SmartSump

The crew installs the patented SmartSump to take care of the water problem.

Leveled Ground

The ground is leveled so puddles no longer form and water won't sit under the CleanSpace.

New Pipe

The new pipe is installed to make sure the sump pump works efficiently.

More Stone Laid Down

CleanSpace Drainage Matting

The raised dimples on our CleanSpace Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs water into the sump pump.

CleanSpace Progress

The brown on the floor is the drainage matting shown in the last image, the white on walls and supports in the actual CleanSpace encapsulation system.
