Crawl Space Flooding
Along the walls of the crawl space were pools of water piled up before we waterproofed it. These pools of water may seem innocent, but they leak heavy amounts of moisture into the air. Heavy moisture = mold, wood rot, dust mites, etc...
Relative Humidity in Your Crawl Space
89.7% relative humidity is really high and is definitely a cause for concern.
Wood Moisture Meter
This meter is reading 23.7% which is a cause for concern because mold can begin to grow in wood at 19% or higher.
Dehumidification System and Sump Pump
The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and the SmartSump sump pump will do all the heavy lifting in reducing moisture levels. In fact, this dehumidifier can remove up to 100 liters of water out of the air in a day.
Drainage Matting
In order to drain the water to the sump pump, we installed our drainage matting. The bubbles of air in it will allow water to traverse downward to the sump pump. Our drainage matting also makes crawling around in your crawl space easier.
