Mold Problems Photo Album: Nasty Crawl Space Encapsulated in Nashville, TN

This 1960's home's crawl space started getting worse and worse in the later months of this summer. The crawl space seemed to be staying wet, critters were wandering in and out, the homeowners were dealing with bad allergies, and they were just ready to permanently fix all of their problems. They called us and were happy with our suggestions, so we got right to work!Our crew installed:CleanSpace Drainage MattingCleanSpace LinerTripleSafe Sump PumpThe Turtl Crawl Space DoorLawnScape Welland applied Mold-X2 Stain Remover to clean contaminated surfaces and Mold-X2 Botanical, which is a fungicide, so it will help stop the mold from recurring. This whole process is crucial to your health, especially if you have bad allergies from indoor allergens. The moisture that snuck itself inside the crawl space clung to the wood and created mold and mold spores. Remember, 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from the crawl space or basement.. make sure that air is clean and healthy!

Nasty and Wet Crawl Space

This is what you don't want your crawl space to look like! You might think "out of sight, out of mind" but that is NOT the case! 50% of the air you're breathing in upstairs comes from the downstairs air that is made up of debris and mold spores.

Drainage Matting Installed

Our crew installs the CleanSpace Drainage Matting before putting the liner down, because it gives the water a channel to run through to get to the pump easier. It also offers as double protection for your knees from sharp rocks.

CleanSpace Liner Installed

The CleanSpace Liner is a vapor barrier, meaning it will stop moisture from leaving the dirt ground and prevent mold from growing.

Triple Sump Pump

When you have a crawl space with standing water, you need to make sure you own a sump pump that is reliable. Making sure you have a powerful sump pump that will not fail on you when you need it the most is of utmost importance when keeping your crawl space healthy.

LawnScape Outlet

The water collected needs a safe place to go! The rainwater is now being safely pumped out a few feet away from the home! Notice that the outlet is green to better match the surrounding grass.
