Crawl Space Repair Case Studies: Moisture and Mould Brings Homeowner to Clarke Basement Systems for Help
Challenge
Pat from Ajax, ON, was concerned with the moisture and dampness in her crawl space. After System Design Specialist Mark Dougherty inspected the crawl space, he discovered that mould had started to fester and grow. Mould can have some very detrimental effects on our health, so it was a top priority for Pat and our team at CBS to make sure she would not have to deal with an avoidable issue like this again!
Solution
Installation Foreman Lucio Flores started with encapsulating the crawl space using our patented CleanSpace® vapour barrier membrane. This will not only help keep the moisture levels controlled, but it will also brighten the area, along with keeping small rodents and other unwanted pests out. To finish, Lucio and his crew installed our customized SmartSump® system in the crawl space. The SmartSump® is designed to pump out any water seepage through a discharge line outside your home.
When the crew finished, Pat was relieved she and her family's health would no longer be at risk from further mould growth below.
