Photo Album: Drainage Matting helps to resolve water issues in Greensburg, KY
A Greensburg, Kentucky homeowner called the Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky to get recommendations on the crawl space area of the home. The crawl space has a block foundation, there was no insulation, and has a dirt floor. They met with Jim, a Certified Inspector, who recommended that they have a SmartSump Crawlspace drainage system, Cleanspace Drainage Matting and vent covers, SilverGlo Crawl Space Wall Insulation, a SaniDry Sedona and an Everlast Door.
SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage Systems as the name suggests is designed especially for crawl spaces. It has a unique lid design so that if there is a plumbing leak the water will fill an alarm pocket first sounding a WaterWatch alarm. The water will then flow down into the airtight floor drain. Water can go down into the drain, but cannot come up into the crawl space through the floor drain. The alarm will also sound if there is a power failure. The alarm will sound to alert the homeowner to a problem before damage occurs.
The SaniDry Sedona Air System is an efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system that will keep the humidity low, help prevent mold, mildew and musty smells from getting into the crawl space. The EverLast Door is an access door that never needs to be painted and will not rust or rot.
With these new systems installed, the homeowner will have a drier, healthier home that will be free of water and mold.
