Brand new Turtl crawlspace entry system
Are you tired of stepping in a puddle of water as soon as you crawl into your crawlspace? Some of that water is probably coming in through your old metal door. A Turtl is made of heavy-duty plastic and will never warp, rust, or rot. It has a solid bottom to keep ground water from coming up into it. A Turtl is also airtight which means the nasty humid air is going to stay out of the crawl space as well.
CleanSpace in a wet and dirty crawlspace
The old 6 mil liner that gets installed after the house is built only serves to keep your knees a little cleaner. The edges are loose and that lets the moist air escape into the crawlspace. When that happens, the humidity goes up and leads to mold outbreaks. With the CleanSpace system in place, the wetness is sealed in the dirt and the air, wood, and insulation can dry out.
Improving a crawlspace entrance with a high quality Turtl
The Turtl is a great way to improve on a leaky crawlspace entry. The old metal door rusts and warps, the entry well will fill up with water and mud. Thankfully the Turtl is air tight and water tight. It will keep all the rain and ground water out of the crawlspace.
Drying out the crawl space
A dry crawl space is one of the best ways to get your home healthier and more efficient. The wood support beams will dry out over time and become more rigid. The air conditioner and heating units will work more efficiently since it is easier to heat and cool dry air. One of the biggest differences people notice is the smells getting better. Mold and mildew are some pretty offensive odors, and the CleanSpace system helps to eliminate them for good.
Wet and humid crawl space in Sussex County, DE
This crawl space was full of moisture and related problems. The inspector found evidence of high humidity, possible mold spores, and damaged insulation. The ground cover was older 6 mil liner and was barely covering the ground at all. DryZone installed a high quality 20 mil liner called CleanSpace. The liner is installed on the walls and the floor which effectively locks out the moisture and keeps the crawl space dry. DryZone also installed a perimeter drainage pipe system, sump pump, and high quality dehumidifier. With all of these products installed the crawl space is now dry, clean, and healthier.
