Eliminating Water Seepage In Elsmere, DE Crawl Space
Challenge
During periods of heavy rainfall a homeowner in Elsmere, DE, started dealing with persistent water seepage in their crawl space. Over time, the excess moisture had led to unsightly damp conditions, musty odors, and early signs of mold growth, creating concerns about the health of the home and its air quality. Realizing that a temporary fix wouldn't suffice, the homeowner reached out to our team in search of a long-term, effective waterproofing solution that would address the root of the problem.
Solution
Upon inspection, our experts developed a customized waterproofing plan tailored to the unique needs of the home. We began by installing our patented SunHouse Window Well, which protects against water intrusion while allowing natural light into the space. To further enhance moisture control and improve energy efficiency, we added SilverGlo Insulation Panels, designed to resist water and reflect heat. The crawl space was then fully encapsulated with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, creating a sealed barrier between the ground and the home. To manage any potential water accumulation, we installed our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, and paired it with our IceGuard Discharge Line System, ensuring water could be safely expelled from the home—even during freezing conditions. With all components working together, the crawl space underwent a dramatic transformation. The previously damp and unhealthy area was restored to a clean, dry, and pleasant condition. Not only did this solution eliminate ongoing moisture problems, but it also improved the home's indoor air quality and overall structural health, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and protection against future water issues.
