Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wet Crawl Space With Musty Odors Repair in Eatonton, GA

A homeowner was dealing with a damp and musty crawl space that caused musty odors to permeate the upper level of the home. To address the issue, we encapsulated the space using a CleanSpace vapor barrier, installed a TripleSafe sump pump for effective water management, added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control moisture, and sealed open vents to prevent further dampness. A damp and musty crawl space can cause a variety of issues, including musty odors that spread to the upper levels of a home. To resolve this, we encapsulated the crawl space using a CleanSpace vapor barrier, which acts as a protective layer against moisture. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump to manage water accumulation, added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity levels, and sealed any open vents to prevent outside air and moisture from entering. These measures work together to create a dry, clean, and odor-free environment.

Sealing Open Vents

Sealing open vents in a crawl space helps prevent outside air, moisture, and pests from getting in. This keeps the space drier and reduces humidity, which can otherwise lead to mold, musty odors, and other issues.

Moisture Protection

CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that lines the crawl space, blocking moisture from the ground and walls. It helps keep the area dry and prevents dampness from spreading, protecting the home from mold and musty odors.

Sump System

The TripleSafe sump pump system keeps the crawl space dry by pumping out water that collects there. It has three pumps: one for regular use, a backup for heavy water flow, and a battery-powered pump in case of a power outage. This ensures your space stays dry no matter what.

Humidity Control

The SaniDry Sedona is a powerful dehumidifier that pulls moisture out of the air, keeping the crawl space dry and preventing mold growth. By controlling the humidity, it also stops those musty odors from forming, leaving this home smelling fresh.

Drying The Crawl Space

Before encapsulation, when the crawl space became wet, the homeowner was using a fan to try to help and dry the space and keep the musty odors out of their home.
