Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Bedford, MA

When the homeowner from Bedford, MA discovered their pipes had frozen and wood rot was compromising their home's integrity, they turned to us for a dependable solution. As you'll notice in the photo gallery, we fortified their crawl space by replacing weakened support columns with SmartJacks, ensuring a solid foundation. Our installation of the CleanSpace liner and SaniDry Sedona also transformed their crawl space into a dry, healthy environment, safeguarding their home investment against future issues.

Failing Lally Columns

The photo clearly shows the deteriorating lally columns, with one having broken off and fallen. This indicates that the floor was not properly supported, as evidenced by the sagging floors. The wet soil reveals moisture accumulation in the basement, which can lead to mold growth and wood rot-issues the homeowners have previously had to address. To protect their investment, we installed a comprehensive range of crawl space repair solutions.

Crawl Space Drainage System

StarPipe was installed around the perimeter of the crawl space to capture water before becoming exposed to the space. The water captured by StarPipe is distributed to the sump pump for removal from the home.

CleanSpace

After installing our drainage system, we lay down drainage matting on the crawl space floor. This matting creates a barrier between the earth and the home, directing water to the sump pump and preventing pooling. Next, we install CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawl space, forming a moisture barrier that protects against mold growth, wood rot, and pests. Overall, this process results in a healthier crawl space, which in turn generates healthier air for the home.

Floor Stabilization

We replaced the failing lally columns with SmartJacks, which are durable and adjustable support posts. These SmartJacks provide superior support to the floors above the crawl space, ensuring stability and strength.

Sump Pump with Battery Backup System

We installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump in the crawl space to reliably remove any unwanted water. This system features a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-operated backup pump, ensuring continuous water removal from the home, even during power outages.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier

The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier enhances the home's air quality by effectively removing moisture from the crawl space. This system drains directly into the sump pump, ensuring an autonomous and efficient water removal process.
