SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System, CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, CleanSpace Vent Covers, EverLast Door, SilverGlow Crawl Space Wall Insulation, and Rim Joist Insulation was installed in a crawl space in Frankfort, Kentucky. A SmartSump Crawl Space Drainage System is used to drain water out of your crawl space.  The SmartSump includes the WaterWatch Alarm, and a special Airtight Drain as well as other features to benefit your home.  One SMART reason to have a SmartSump installed is that most homeowners do not go into the crawl space that often.  If there is water leaking from a plumbing leak, the homeowner may be unaware of this until damage occurs or they receive a bigger water bill.  If there is water leaking from plumbing into the crawl space, the WaterWatch Alarm will sound alerting the homeowner that there is a problem that needs to be resolved in the crawl space.  The water will then drain down into the Airtight Floor Drain but the water will not be able to come back up into the crawl space.  This gives the homeowner a chance to resolve this problem before damage occurs in the crawl space.   The CleanSpace Liner is a bright white plastic liner, similar to a pool liner, that is attached to the walls and floor of the crawl space to provide a mold and vapor-proof barrier between the ground and the home above.  The CleanSpace Vent Covers will cover the vents to provide an airtight seal and also prevent debris from entering the crawl space.  The EverLast Door also helps to provide an airtight seal, keeps debris out of the crawl space and The SaniDry Sedona is used to dry and filter the air in the crawl space which also improves the air quality in the home above.  The crawl space is part of the home so anything that is in the crawl space also makes its way up into the living area.  Having too much moisture in the crawl space and home encourages mold growth, musty odors, and insects.  The SaniDry will dry the air to the appropriate level and filter the particulates out of the air to provide a healthier home environment. SilverGlo Crawl Space Insulation and Rim Joist Insulation keep the unconditioned air from entering the crawl space and creating condensation.  Having the crawl space properly insulated keeps the living area and the floors warmer in the winter.  The SilverGlo has graphite particles infused into it which reflects heat back into the crawl space.  Rim Joist Insulation insulates the rim joist which is the board above the foundation at the perimeter of the home's floor system.   With these products installed the homeowner will be able to enjoy a warmer, less humid home that has a healthier air environment.
