Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Waterproofing In Elsmere, DE

In Elsmere, DE a homeowner was experiencing persistent water seepage in their crawl space, an issue that had begun to result in unsightly damp conditions and indications of mold-growth, which prompted the homeowner to seek out a long-term solution. Once our team arrived at the home, we created a tailored waterproofing approach that included the installation of our patented SunHouse Window Well, SilverGlo Insulation Panels, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump, and our IceGuard Discharge Line System. Together these systems effectively eliminated further moisture intrusion issues, ultimately restoring the crawl space to a dry, healthy, and pleasant condition!

Damp Crawl Space Conditions

Damp crawl space conditions are often caused by poor drainage, high humidity, groundwater seepage, and a lack of proper vapor barriers. These issues allow moisture to accumulate, leading to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage over time.

Installing SunHouse

The crew installs our SunHouse Window Well by first removing the old, damaged well and preparing the area around the basement window. They then securely place the SunHouse Window Well against the foundation, ensuring a tight, weather-resistant fit. The well is anchored into place and paired with a clear, domed cover to keep out water, debris, and pests.

The Benefits Of SunHouse

The SunHouse Window Well offers multiple benefits, including improved natural light in the basement and enhanced protection against water, debris, and pests. Its durable, UV-resistant plastic construction prevents rust and rotting, while the clear, domed cover keeps the well clean and dry.

Installing SilverGlo

In order to install our SilverGlo Insulation Panels the crew starts by first preparing the walls, ensuring a clean and secure surface. The rigid foam panels are then measured, cut to size, and firmly attached to the walls using durable fasteners and adhesive.

The Benefits Of SilverGlo

Each panel features a built-in radiant barrier that reflects heat back into the space, significantly improving energy efficiency. Once installed, SilverGlo helps seal the crawl space from outside moisture and cold air, creating a warmer, drier, and more energy-efficient environment.

During CleanSpace Install

We carefully lay out and secure the durable, thick CleanSpace liner across the floor and walls, sealing all seams with special tape to ensure a continuous moisture barrier. The liner is fastened to the walls using mechanical fasteners to prevent shifting over time. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System provides a reliable, sealed barrier that protects the crawl space from moisture, humidity, and mold.

SmartSump

Our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump is specifically designed to keep crawl spaces dry and protected from water intrusion. It features a powerful pump with a built-in airtight lid and alarm system that alerts homeowners to rising water levels or pump issues. The SmartSump also includes a floor drain to handle minor plumbing leaks and is compatible with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System for a fully sealed solution.

IceGuard Discharge Line

IceGuard provides essential protection for the homeowners sump pump system by preventing water backup during freezing temperatures. Its patented design allows water to escape through specially engineered openings if the exterior discharge line becomes clogged with ice or debris.
