Crawl Space Water Protection in Rib Lake, WI

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020 by Tom Wardlow

Challenge

The crawl space of this home in Rib Lake was flooded. The homeowners needed a solution that would first drain the water coming into the crawl space and discharge it away from the home. Second, they needed something that would water proof the crawl space and protect it from potential water damage, mold and mildew due to moisture.

Solution

To solve the crawl space's water issue, Sure-Dry Basement Systems installed their SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the crawl space dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement.

To create a vapor barrier to protect the crawl space from moisture damage and mold, Sure-Dry installed their CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier System. This durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, this durable 20-mil poly-reinforced crawl space liner converts your crawl space into a usable storage area. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace® will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface.
