Case Study: Restoring Stability and Eliminating Moisture in a Duncannon, PA Crawl Space
A homeowner in Duncannon, PA, reached out to Liberty Basement Systems facing a cascade of issues stemming from their crawl space. Sagging and sloping floors were evident in their living areas, compounded by persistently high humidity and moisture within the crawl space itself. These problems were not only impacting the comfort of their home but also raising concerns about its structural integrity, necessitating a comprehensive and professional repair strategy.
Following our standard procedure, our Customer Care Specialist efficiently scheduled a home inspection. Our System Design Specialist then conducted a detailed evaluation of the property. Recognizing the interconnected nature of the homeowner's concerns, we proposed a tailored solution combining several of our proven systems.
Our experienced production team began by installing CleanSpace® drainage matting across the crawl space's dirt floor. This crucial first step ensured effective water drainage beneath the subsequent encapsulation. Next, the team installed our robust CleanSpace® liner to completely encapsulate the crawl space, creating a powerful barrier against moisture intrusion and significantly reducing humidity levels.
To address the compromised floor structure, we implemented the SmartJack® System. These heavy-duty, adjustable steel support piers were strategically placed to provide essential support to the weakened floor joists. This effectively stabilized and, in many cases, restored the floors above to their original, level position.
Finally, to further control moisture and enhance indoor air quality, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed. This powerful unit actively maintains optimal humidity levels within the encapsulated crawl space, preventing mold growth and contributing to a healthier living environment.
The successful integration of these solutions resulted in a complete revitalization of the homeowner's crawl space. The sagging floors above were stabilized, and the crawl space was transformed into a dry, clean, and mold-free area. This comprehensive approach not only resolved the immediate issues of structural instability and moisture but also improved the overall structural soundness and air quality of the home, underscoring our commitment to providing durable and dependable solutions for our customers.
