Addressing Crawl Space Issues and Implementing Solutions in Skaneateles, NY

Preventing a wet crawl space is crucial, and we’re here to assist you by offering high-quality products and professional techniques for effective crawl space waterproofing. By utilizing our top-rated products, we can successfully reduce moisture and groundwater, ensuring the protection of your crawl space.

To address any water and moisture issues in your crawl space, we recommend a reliable sump pump system paired with an encapsulation system. Our GrateSump sump pump system is equipped with a sump pump and liner, alarm, and floor drain. Additionally, it can include an optional battery backup system for added peace of mind. With this comprehensive system in place, you can trust that your crawl space will remain dry and plumbing leaks will be effectively managed.

The GrateSump boasts a secure lid that keeps the liner in place. It also features an alarm that promptly alerts you in the event of water entry from plumbing or any other type of leaks. Furthermore, the floor drain automatically collects any water that may result from plumbing leaks, ensuring efficient drainage.

Simply having a liner is not sufficient, as wet crawl spaces can go unnoticed for extended periods. However, with the GrateSump installed, you can be confident that your crawl space is well-protected, and your sump pump system will efficiently handle the task of safeguarding your space. Our GrateSump sump pump systems seamlessly integrate with our CrawlShield Encapsulation System, further enhancing the protection of your crawl space.

Crawl Space FAQs

What are some problems associated with wet crawl spaces?

Wet crawl spaces can cause a whole host of problems. Some of these include harboring insects, rodents, and small animals, as these types of critters love damp and dark spaces.

This unfortunate growth will hurt the foundation and structural integrity of your home and over time, devalue your property as a whole.

Also, if you live in an area of high humidity, frequent rain, or in a valley where water collects, waterproofing is probably a good idea.

What causes moisture buildup in a crawl space?
