Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wet to Dry Crawl Space in Clarksville, TN

This Clarksville home was having a few issues with their crawl space having standing water after heavy rains. This problem (which doesn't seem that awful, because out of sight out of mind, right?) can cause numerous other problems in your home. For starters the moisture from the soil and water leaking in can cause a large amount of moisture in the air, this can cause mold and mold spores to grow. This can affect your wood piers supporting the weight of your home and if you have the pink or yellow insulation surrounding the wood, it will only cause the damage to progress faster. The mold will soon weaken your wood enough to have "bouncy" or uneven floors, a mildewy smell will begin looming in both the crawl space and living area, and your health will soon be at risk.

Dirty and Wet Soil Ground

First, soil ground should always be covered completely in a crawl space, because the moisture from the soil will make its way into your space! Second, did you know that 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from your basement or crawl space? Make sure that air is clean and healthy!

Moldy and Moist Insulation

When there's moisture in your crawl space, the insulation can get moist and moldy. The insulation is directly next to a very important structure- your wood floor joists! The moist insulation lays next to it 24/7 and it will eventually cause the wood to rot and weaken.

Drainage Matting

This matting acts as a channel for water that gets trapped under the liner.

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner

This durable liner is 20mil thick and reduces vapor and moisture in the crawl space. It also does a great job at sealing out cold winter drafts, which will make your floorboards warmer!
