Sealing a CrawlSpace from the Outside Elements in Richmond, Kentucky

To fix all the problems with this crawl space we installed our normal 4-step process:

1. First we fixed the ground water leakage problems by installing a SmartSump sump pump and connected it to perforated pipes around the perimeter and under the floor of the crawl space. 
2. We then sealed the crawl space from the elements using CleanSpace lining, which will block out moisture. We also installed vent covers over the vents to stop the crawl space from bringing in moisture ridden air. 
3. Next, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which will dehumidify the crawl space, eliminating the need for ventilation. The dehumidifier hooks up to the pump to be able to discharge all the water from the air that it collects. 
4. Lastly, we insulated the crawl space by installing SilverGlo panels all along the walls and spraying rim joist insulation foam all along the beams. This allowed for us to remove the moldy, heavy fiberglass seen in the ceiling.
