The crawl space was damp due to open vents and a dirt floor. Open vents allowed outside air, which often carries moisture, to enter the crawl space. Additionally, the dirt floor contributed to the dampness by allowing moisture from the ground to evaporate and rise into the crawl space, creating a humid environment conducive to mold growth and other moisture-related issues. Our solution was to completely seal the open vents and install our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.
The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier works in tandem with the CleanSpace vapor barrier system to effectively control crawl space moisture and humidity. The CleanSpace vapor barrier acts as a protective layer, preventing moisture from the ground from entering the crawl space. This barrier is installed across the floor and up the walls of the crawl space, creating a sealed environment. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier then removes excess moisture from the air within this sealed space, maintaining optimal humidity levels and preventing mold growth, wood rot, and other moisture-related issues. Together, these systems ensure a dry and healthy crawl space environment.
We installed an EverLast Crawl Space Door in this customer's crawl space to provide a durable, airtight, and energy-efficient solution for sealing the crawl space entrance. The EverLast Crawl Space Door is made from inorganic materials that resist mold, rot, and moisture, ensuring long-term durability. It works by creating a secure seal that prevents outside air, pests, and moisture from entering the crawl space, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency and air quality of the home.
High humidity in a crawl space causes insulation to fall because the moisture saturates the insulation material, making it heavy and causing it to sag or detach from its position.
The dehumidifier in this crawl space was no longer controlling humidity levels in the crawl space. This led to moisture issues, musty odors, and wood rot. In its place, we installed our high-performance SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona is the world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system (without a bulky heat exchange core). The Sedona helps prevent mold and reduce musty odors, providing a dry, comfortable air source. Even though the Sedona is small in size, it's powerful enough to lower humidity in even the dampest environment.
