Photo Album: Solving Humidity & Musty Odors Issues for Homeowner in Warner Robins, GA
Recently, we had the privilege of helping a homeowner in Warner Robins, GA, turn their crawl space from a problem area into a source of comfort in their home. They reached out to us at Lowcountry, troubled by uneven flooring and a persistent musty odor permeating their house. After diagnosing high humidity levels beneath their home as the culprit, it became clear that not only did the floor joists need leveling but also, the crawl space required encapsulation to eliminate the moisture problem once and for all. We set up a home inspection where our System Design Specialist thoroughly evaluated the situation. We proposed a comprehensive solution: installing SmartJack to stabilize and level the uneven floors, CleanSpace encapsulation to barrier out moisture, a SaniDry Sedona to dehumidify and filter the air, and an Aspen Air Purification System to ensure healthy, clean, breathable air! These solutions were designed to address not just the symptoms but the root cause of the homeowner's concerns. Once our plan was in place, our production team got to work. The SmartJack installation process corrected the sagging floor joists and brought structural stability back to the floor. Next came the CleanSpace encapsulation, wrapping the crawl space in a thick, durable liner that locks out moisture and undesirable odors. The SaniDry Sedona started working to maintain the area's humidity at healthy, comfortable levels, and the Aspen Air Purifier was placed and installed to ensure healthy, clean air for the entire home! By the time our team cleaned up and left, the transformation was evident. The floors above were notably level, and the odor that once invaded their home was replaced with clean, dry air. The homeowners were extremely pleased, having not only solved the immediate issues but having also created a healthier, dry space beneath their home.
CleanSpace Liner
CleanSpace was permanently fastened to the crawl space walls, floor, and support columns to stop moisture from seeping through, maintaining a clean, dry, mold free environment.
Crawl Space Jacks
Our SmartJack System were installed to stabilize and level the uneven floors above the crawl space. SmartJack posts are rust resistant, very durable, and completely adjustable if even needed to be tuned up!
Relative Humidity
The problem is that when the relative humidity is over 70%, we get mold, fungus, and rot. Mold and fungus in the crawl space can caused more than musty odors, but also pose a risk to your healthy! What We Do: Seal the crawl space vents to keep damp outside air from coming into the crawl space. The crawl space walls and floor should also be covered with a vapor barrier to protect against water and moisture coming through the foundation walls and up from the dirt floor!
Before Encapsulation
Moisture from the crawl space caused the insulation to become too heavy and fall.
High-Performance Air Purification
The Aspen Air Purifier paired with the SaniDry Sedona that was installed in the customers crawl space to eliminate moisture and humidity levels will ensure the air in this home is the healthiest it's ever been!
