This customer reached out to Americrawl seeking a permanent solution to ongoing moisture issues and poor ventilation in their crawl space. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that a comprehensive drainage system was necessary to manage groundwater intrusion and improve the overall condition of the space.

The project included the installation of a full perimeter drainage system designed to collect and direct water to a newly installed AmeriSump® sump pump station, a high-performance solution known for its reliability and efficiency in removing water from below-grade spaces. The AmeriSump® system ensures that any groundwater collected through the drainage channels is quickly and safely pumped away from the home’s foundation, preventing pooling or structural damage.

To further improve crawl space conditions, all crawl space vents were replaced. These new vent covers were installed to better seal the space and control airflow, reducing humidity infiltration and helping to maintain a more consistent internal environment. Proper vent replacement is key in keeping outside moisture and pests from entering the crawl space.

In addition to the drainage improvements and vent upgrades, a 6 mil vapor barrier was installed across the crawl space floor. The vapor barrier serves to block ground moisture from evaporating into the air, which significantly helps in reducing overall humidity in the crawl space.
