Crawl Space Waterproofing In Glenside, PA

Thursday, October 31st, 2024 by Rebecca Brossa

Challenge

Overtime, due to uncontrollable environmental factors and unfortunate circumstances crawl spaces can become severely unpleasant, and the longer these spaces go unacknowledged, the worse the structural conditions can become. Recently a homeowner in Glenside, PA, discovered water seeping into their crawl space after a heavy rainstorm. Concerned about potential structural damage to their home and the risk of mold growth, the homeowner sought a reliable solution to protect the integrity of their home and prevent further water intrusions altogether.

Solution

In order to begin the waterproofing process, our system design specialist John evaluated the crawl space, identifying several key issues, poor drainage around the foundation, high humidity levels, and lack of proper insulation. Following this, our foreman Ruben and his crew installed our Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor to facilitate water flow towards the drainage system, preventing pooling. Then the crew installed our SilverGlo Insulation Panels, these panels were applied to the walls to improve insulation, reducing energy costs and preventing condensation. Next our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System was installed, this durable, moisture-resistant barrier will protect the crawl space from humidity and potential mold growth. The crew also installed our SuperSump Premier Pump System, to ensure this crawl space had the highest level of defense against water intrusions. Lastly, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed, this energy-efficient dehumidifier was added to maintain optimal humidity levels, providing a dry and healthy environment. By implementing a targeted solution with our advanced waterproofing products, this homeowner created a safe, clean, and energy-efficient storage space, ultimately enhancing the overall integrity and comfort of their home!
