Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Rotting Wooden Support Post In Crawl Space, Sagamore Beach, MA
A homeowner from Sagamore Beach, MA was looking for a solution to provide a more stability for the floor above his crawl space. There was a wooden support post that was beginning to rot due to the outside moisture seeping into this crawl space.
To save this crawl space, we first encapsulated the area with CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent any of the outside moisture from seeping in. When the outside moisture makes itself comfortable in any area in the foundation, mold will grow and cause wood rot. Now that this crawl space is fully wrapped up by our durable white liner, the air quality will improve and stay humid-free!
To solve the support post dilemma, we installed 2 SmartJack floor support systems to provide permanent stability for the floor above. These steel solutions are fully adjustable, so we can come back and twist them to cater the current needs of your crawl space!
CleanSpace, SmartJacks and SilverGlo Installed
Here, we completely encapsulated the interior of this crawl space floor with CleanSpace vapor barrier. In addition, our SilverGlo wall insulation was placed inside these walls to help maintain the temperature of this crawl space all year long.
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier And SmartJacks
Our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier will pump out dry air to prevent this space from getting humid. With less humid, there are less chances of mold growth!
