This is not a sump pump
Sadly this pump in a bucket system is often what we see in a crawlspace. As you can tell by the surrounding pool of water, it was not enough.
Inches of water in the crawlspace
This crawlspace had several inches of water creating the perfect environment for wood rot and potential mold growth.
Fallen insulation in the Crawlspace
On the floor of the crawlspace sat large portions of insulation torn down from previous critters in the crawlspace. this renders the insulation useless and also contributed to cold areas of the home.
Water and mud in the crawlspace
This crawlspace was muddy and destroyed.
CleanSpace in the Crawlspace
This muddy and wet crawlspace got a complete transformation. It is not longer full of water, and the homeowner now has a dry and clean crawlspace.
Now a transformed space
This crawlspace is now dry and usable space after years of being a flooded wet mess.
No longer an unhealthy space
Our team got rid of the wet and falling insulation and the water and installed a full John's CleanSpace System leaving the homeowner with a dry and usable space.
Do not wrap the posts!
We regularly share this information in our CE classes to ensure that builders and inspectors understand the importance of not wrapping the plastic around the wooden support posts. Our team jacks up each post and slides the CleanSpace material underneath it to ensure that moisture and water vapors do not concentrate on the posts.
