SmartSump and CleanSpace Save Leaky Middleville, MI Crawl Space

Brent K. called because he wanted a permanent fix for his leaking crawl space. The crawl space was built in 1983 with brick foundation and although there were no cracks found, water was entering where the wall meets the floor. During times of heavy rain, the problem worsened and the sump pump within the space was unable to keep up with the amount of water.

To update the ineffective sump pump we installed the SmartSump sump pump system. This sump pump is specifically made for wet crawl space needs by collecting and pumping water out of the space automatically. The system includes a reliable liner and pump, an airtight lid to prevent water in the sump from evaporating into the space and a floor drain that will allow water to flow directly into the sump through the lid if a flood occurs. To alert the homeowner if the pump cannot keep up for some reason, this system also comes with an alarm system that will sound if this problem occurs.

Next we installed drainage matting that is placed underneath the CleanSpace liner. The dimpled surface on this matting helps water flow easily underneath the liner and directs it to the sump pump to be pumped out of the home. 

Next we encapsulated the crawl space with the CleanSpace liner. This liner is waterproof and vapor proof to prevent moisture from entering the space through the brick walls or porous concrete floor. We sized the liner for the dimensions of the crawl space a secured it to the walls to prevent it from falling down. The material of the liner is extremely durable and includes an antimicrobial additive that prevents mold growth. 

Brent now has a dry crawl space and is free of any worries.
