Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wet Crawl Space Repair in Mount Lookout, WV

When this Mount Lookout, WV homeowner found water in their crawl space, they knew an encapsulation would be the best option for long-term protection. The Alford crew stepped in to install a complete crawl space encapsulation system including vapor barrier, sump pump, exterior drainage, and vent blocking to keep the space dry and clean. Now, the homeowner can relax knowing their home is protected from the ground up with improved moisture control, protecting both the structure of their home and air quality.

Wet Dirty Crawl Space

The original crawl space was dark, wet and in need of repair. A wet crawl space produces moisture that can lead to mold, wood rot, and health complications like asthma and allergies.

Microbial Growth Discovered

As the water and moisture problem continued without repair, our inspector discovered microbial growth on the wooden joists. This is a major warning sign that a crawl space is on the path to developing mold.

Drainage Matting

We laid the drainage matting beneath the vapor barrier to allow any water to freely flow to the sump pump. It's an extra layer of protection!

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

Alford installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect against moisture in the crawl space. This unique polyethylene barrier is 20mm thick so it's extremely durable, even sealing out cold drafts in the winter.

Powerful Sump System

The TripleSafe sump pump system has three submersible pumps ready to work and protect the crawl space from water and moisture. The primary pump can handle up to 2,600 gallons of water per hour!
