Why You Shouldn't DIY Your Crawlspace

This summer, you might have had a DIY repair project or two around your home. You have concerns in your basement or crawlspace, but you know it will cost more than anticipated. So you think “Maybe I’ll give it a try!”

But a DIY basement or crawlspace waterproofing repair can actually create more havoc for you and your home, causing a lot more money to fix it the RIGHT way! Sometimes, hiring a professional to do the work may be more expensive to you at first, but will save you money down the road protecting your home from water, humidity, mold and rot.

Crawlspace NoNos

Conditioned is not encapsulated! With our product CleanSpace, which is a 20 mil thick plastic liner, your crawlspace is covered by multiple layers of plastics in one layer, creating a flexible, puncture and tear free resistant layer that will last as long as your house! CleanSpace also has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, which prevents mold growth on the liner.  

Using a fan to blow outside air into your crawlspace or air from your crawlspace sounds like a good idea, but actually disrupts the whole space. Power fans or fans hooked up in the space can make your mold, moisture, or rot and energy problems worse, fast! With a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, the air is controlled and any water vapor in the air is pumped out to a sump pump in your space, ensuring the air is controlled. 

An open sump pump is open to fail! Open sump pumps are useless in stopping water vapor from rising from the ground. With a sump pump provided by us, a proper discharge line will be installed as well. Specifically designed for crawlspaces and basements, our TripleSafe sump pump has a 3 part pump system in one sump liner and pumps the water out automatically.

So when it comes to keeping under your home safe and dry, let us help you! With our skilled professionals and quality products specifically designed for basements and crawlspaces, you won’t be disappointed with the results!
