Crawl Space Clean-Out and 980 Sq. Ft. CleanSpace Encapsulation – Completed Project Americrawl recently completed a comprehensive crawl space restoration project that included a full construction debris clean-out and installation of a 980 square foot CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. This service was designed to improve moisture control, air quality, and overall foundation protection for the homeowner. The project began with the removal of all construction debris, organic materials, and contaminants from the crawl space area. Our experienced team performed a detailed crawl space clean-out to ensure the space was fully prepped for encapsulation. Eliminating debris not only improved accessibility but also removed potential sources of mold growth, pests, and odors, creating a clean environment ready for long-term crawl space repair solutions. Following the clean-out, Americrawl installed a premium CleanSpace® vapor barrier across 980 square feet of crawl space. This heavy-duty, 20-mil thick liner was precisely fitted to the floor and walls, with all seams carefully sealed to create an airtight, waterproof barrier. We also wrapped support piers to ensure complete crawl space encapsulation and prevent moisture intrusion from any surface area. The CleanSpace® system now isolates the home from the damp earth, dramatically improving indoor air quality, lowering humidity levels, and enhancing energy efficiency. The homeowner can expect reduced risk of mold and mildew, and enhanced structural protection as part of our comprehensive Americrawl solution. Throughout the project, Americrawl’s certified technicians maintained the highest standards of professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. Using our proven methods for crawl space moisture control and foundation protection, we delivered a finished product that exceeded the homeowner’s expectations — providing a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient home environment.

**Inspection & Diagnosis** Inspector / Design Specialist Tyler proposed the following products and services to help the homeowners; • 130' of perimeter drainage (AkwaGard) along the base of the foundation walls to capture water • 99' of CleanSpace wall • Demo and removal of concrete and wall material • SuperSump sump pump system, complete with battery back-up • Discharge lines, ensuring the water is pumped out and away from the home 15’. • 35 Feet of Disharge line extension • Americrawls Crack Seal **Installation & Repair** Crew Foreman Celeo and his team arrived on the scheduled day for their project. Before beginning the work, they conducted one final walkthrough with the homeowner to ensure they were aligned with the homeowner's goals for protecting the house. The project involved installing a partial waterproofing system along the perimeter of the foundation and basement. The first step was to jackhammer and remove all the concrete at the base of the walls to create space for the drainage system. Since the homeowners still had some possessions stored in the basement, the crew covered these items with plastic to keep them clean. The jackhammering process generates a lot of dust and noise, but it is a necessary step to ensure the proper installation of the drainage tiles. After completing the demolition, the team began laying out the AkwaGard drainage system around the perimeter. In total, they installed 130 feet of drainage, ensuring that any water entering the basement through the foundation walls would be captured and directed toward the sump pump basin. During this process, CleanSpace Walls and Crack Seal were also installed. Once the drainage system was in place, and the Super Sump basin was set, the AkwaGard tiles were tested with water to confirm that it flowed properly toward the sump pump basin. It is essential to test each system before finalizing the installation by pouring concrete over the components. Following a successful test, the crew mixed and poured concrete over the AkwaGard drainage system, which was positioned within crushed stone to allow for proper flow and drainage. The basin for the water and pump was also cast in concrete. The installed SuperSump sump pump system included a 1/3 HP cast iron pump. Additionally, the WaterWatch alarm system is battery-powered and alerts the homeowner if water approaches the surface of the basin due to any system failure. The lid of the water pump basin is airtight, which is crucial if the homeowner has or ever needs to install a radon mitigation system. An airtight seal prevents unwanted air or moisture from escaping the basin. **Results & Customer Satisfaction** They were completely satisfied with the through proposal and expertly installed system, and were able to continue with their remodel plans and finishing their basement. **Team Members Involved** Inspector Tyler Crew Foreman Celeo

One of the key solutions we provide is the installation of a sump pump with a discharge line in the crawlspace to effectively manage groundwater and moisture. This system involves placing the sump pump in a low point of the crawlspace where water tends to accumulate. As water collects, the pump activates and pushes it through a discharge line, directing it safely away from the home's foundation. This setup helps prevent standing water, mold growth, and structural damage caused by excess moisture. It's a critical part of protecting the crawlspace and ensuring a healthier, more stable home environment.

**Inspection & Diagnosis** Our lead inspector, Daniel, contacted the customer 30 minutes prior to the home inspection to discuss the issues that needed to be addressed for the home to pass the inspection. When Daniel arrived at the property, the customer had expressed their concerns and showed him access to the crawl space. Daniel then entered the crawl space to conduct his inspection. While in the space, he noticed that there was no sump pump or sump station to manage the pockets of water present. After thoroughly examining the area, Daniel provided an estimate for the necessary work. The estimate included the installation of an AmeriSump sump pump station, a clean-out, and a 6-mil poly vapor barrier. **Installation & Repair** When they arrived, Crew Foreman Celeo and his team greeted the customer and explained that they would be installing an AmeriSystem sump pump along with a discharge line. This involved digging a hole that was 22 inches deep and 20 inches wide for the sump pump liner. After installing the sump pump, it would be connected to a 15-foot discharge line that would be buried in her yard. Once the sump pump was in place, the crew cleaned up any debris and leveled the crawlspace. Celeo and his team also installed a 6-mil poly vapor barrier across the entire floor of the crawlspace to cover the soil. **Results & Customer Satisfaction** The customer was pleased to resolve the issues noted by her home inspector. **Team Members Involved** Inspector Daniel Crew Foreman Celeo

We installed 1150 square feet of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, a durable vapor barrier that seals the crawl space from ground moisture. The CleanSpace material is designed to resist tearing, mold growth, and humidity penetration—making it a long-term solution for moisture control. In addition, our crew installed 36 linear feet of the AmeriDrain Drainage System. This system collects water at the crawl space perimeter and channels it to the sump pump location.

Our crew started by installing AmeriDrain Drainage System to effectively capture and direct water away from the crawlspace, preventing pooling and reducing hydrostatic pressure. A new crawlspace access door was added for improved entryway. To control ground moisture, we laid a durable vapor barrier across the crawlspace floor. For additional protection against wood decay and pest activity, our crew applied Timbor Spray to all exposed structural wood surfaces. Finally, a complete debris removal was performed, clearing out old materials, dirt buildup, and potential mold-harboring waste.

Americrawl sent our crew and installed the AmeriDrain® perimeter water management system to intercept and channel water directly to the SuperSump® pumping station, ensuring it is effectively discharged away from the foundation. To control vapor transmission from the ground, we placed a durable 6-mil moisture barrier across the crawl space floor, creating a cleaner and more controlled environment.

For this project, our crew installed 206 linear feet of the AmeriDrain Drainage System along the crawl space perimeter to properly channel groundwater and prevent moisture buildup. To complement the drainage system, we added one AmeriSump Sump Station, ensuring reliable water removal during heavy rains. Structural improvements were also completed, including the replacement of three feet of rim joist and plate as well as the installation of one sister joist cap, reinforcing the integrity of the floor system. To improve ventilation and efficiency, new vent replacements were installed, helping regulate airflow in the crawl space. Finally, the entire area was covered with 1,862 square feet of 6-mil vapor barrier, creating a protective seal over the soil and minimizing moisture transfer into the home.

This project involved a complete crawlspace transformation to address both water management and structural concerns. Our team installed a full perimeter AmeriDrain drainage system throughout the crawlspace, paired with a reliable AmeriSump pump station to keep groundwater under control and protect the foundation from excess moisture. In addition to the drainage work, we performed structural wood repairs, replacing and reinforcing weakened components of the crawlspace to restore strength and stability to the home’s foundation. Finally install a 6 mil vapor barrier to lower humidity in the crawlspace
