Comprehensive Water Management in Cogan Station
Challenge
A homeowner in Cogan Station, PA, experienced significant water intrusion into their basement and crawl space. The existing old stone foundation was no longer effectively preventing water seepage, leading to persistent dampness and the potential for structural damage and unhealthy indoor air quality. Pre-installation observations clearly indicated signs of moisture, decay, and an overall unconditioned environment.
Solution
To address these critical issues, a multi-faceted water management system was implemented. The core of the solution involved the expert installation of the CleanSpace system throughout the crawl space. This durable, inorganic liner effectively encapsulates the area, creating a robust vapor barrier. Complementing the CleanSpace, Drainage Matting was installed to efficiently channel any moisture away from the foundation. For long-term protection and peace of mind, a TripleSafe Sump Pump was integrated into the system, providing reliable discharge capacity for any incoming water.
The strategic installation of these advanced solutions successfully transformed the compromised crawl space into a secure, dry, and healthy environment. The "after" photo vividly illustrates a clean and dramatically improved space, underscoring the effectiveness and durability of the implemented systems. The homeowner now benefits from enhanced structural integrity, improved indoor air quality, and lasting protection against future water intrusion.
