Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Stabilization and Humidity Control in Boylston, MA

Dealing with an unstable crawl space and high humidity, a homeowner from Boylston, MA, turned to us for help. As captured in these photos, we stabilized their crawl space effectively using SmartJack, ensuring a robust foundation. To combat the moisture, we installed our SaniDry Sedona, significantly improving air quality and comfort. These transformations not only tackle the immediate concerns but also protect the home's integrity for years to come, showcasing our commitment to reliable, long-term solutions.

Humid Crawl Space Lacking Support Posts

Prior to commencing the project, the crawl space was devoid of support posts and exhibited elevated humidity levels. Such excessive humidity can precipitate wood rot, thereby compromising the integrity of the joists. The absence of support posts to stabilize the floors above the crawl space posed a risk to the structural integrity of the home.

Support Post Base

Excavation was conducted around the designated areas for the installation of SmartJacks. Subsequently, the SmartJack post was affixed to the base to enhance strength and stability.

SmartJacks Installed to Supplemental Beam

A supplemental beam was installed perpendicular to the crawl space joists to more efficiently distribute the load supported by the SmartJacks. These SmartJacks are adjustable, ensuring that the floors remain stabilized even if the foundation settles in the future.

Support Post Backfill

After installation, the soil surrounding the SmartJacks is backfilled to secure them firmly in place.

Crawl Space Dehumidifier

The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in the crawl space to mitigate humidity levels. This compact yet highly efficient dehumidifier enhances air quality, ensuring cleaner air is circulated throughout the home.

Dehumidifier Condensate Pump

Our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed with an integrated condensate pump. This feature automatically expels the water collected by the dehumidifier from the crawl space, ensuring a seamless and maintenance-free operation.

Crawl Space Water Removal

The condensate pump's tubing extends vertically and exits through the home's siding, automatically discharging water from the crawl space to the exterior.
