Crawlspace Repair in Pawlet, Vermont, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems

Challenge

A homeowner in Pawlet, Vermont, struggled with issues in their crawl space. The area was damp and prone to musty odors, creating an uncomfortable environment in the home above. The excessive moisture posed a risk to the house's structural integrity and increased the likelihood of mold growth. The homeowner needed a permanent solution to improve air quality, prevent moisture damage, and create a healthier living environment.

Solution

Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems proposed a two-part solution to address the crawl space issues:

1. CleanSpace® Encapsulation System
   The crawl space was encapsulated with the CleanSpace® system, a heavy-duty 20-mil vapor barrier that completely seals the space from moisture. CleanSpace® was installed along the walls and floor, preventing water vapor from seeping into the area. This system also protects against mold growth, odors, and pests while improving the home's overall energy efficiency.

2. SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier
   The team installed the SaniDry™ Sedona, a high-performance crawl space dehumidifier, to control humidity levels. Designed to work with the CleanSpace® system, the SaniDry™ removes excess moisture from the air, ensuring the crawl space remains dry and free from musty odors. Its energy-efficient design offers powerful dehumidification without adding to utility costs.

The crawl space was transformed into a clean, dry, and healthy environment. Combining the CleanSpace® Encapsulation System and SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier created long-term protection against moisture, mold, and odors. The homeowner immediately noticed a difference in air quality and appreciated the added peace of mind, knowing their home was safeguarded from moisture-related issues.
