Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: High Humidity in Crawl Space is Fixed for Savannah, GA Homeowner
Justin, J. of Savannah, GA called Lowcountry Basement Systems worried that he had a moisture problem in his crawl space. Justin noticed that his home wasn't what it used to be. The floors felt a little weak; his home stayed a little more humid than usual and he noticed an odor but couldn't identify the source.
Lowcountry Basement Systems went to Justin's home and inspected the crawl space. There was a moisture problem under Justin's home. Lowcountry Basement Systems installed a Complete CleanSpace Encapsulation System to remove excess moisture and reduce humidity under the home.
Moisture = Mold
Moisture and organic material, e.g. wood, usually results in wood. Just like the wood under this house.
Wet Nasty Crawl Space
Signs of excess moisture were easy to identify.
Problems Get Worse
The pier just behind this pile sunk into the moisture ground. Rather than address the moisture problem in the crawl space, some added a homemade pier (that will also sink into the same moist soil).
CleanSpace Liner
The earth and foundation walls were covered in CleanSpace liner to prevent moisture vapor from the earth from reaching the subfloor of the home.
