Product and Services

A) Interior Pipe and Stone drain System:

An interior drain is installed inside the crawl space along the perimeter walls. A trench is hand dug along the perimeter, and a 4” slotted-corrugated pipe is installed. The trench is then filled with washed stone, around the 4” pipe. The drain collects moisture as it enters the crawl space through grade differences between the inside ground level and the outside grade level, through porous brick with poor or no waterproofing, the absence of a foundation drain, pipe penetrations in crawl space walls and moisture coming in through crawl space vents. The stone around the interior drain allows moisture to trickle down into the drain quicker than through soil. Once the interior drain is completed along all crawl space walls, a solid pipe discharge drain is connected at the low point of the crawl space, and exits the crawl space by means of gravity or in cases of marginal to no fall, a sump pump. Please see picture #

B) SUMP PUMP:

A sump pump and sump pump basin is installed in a crawl space and or basement where fall is marginal or non-existent to remove water/moisture. A 36 inch deep by 36 inch wide sump pump basin is installed at the lowest point in a crawl space or basement. The basin has holes around the entire exterior in order to help absorb moisture. A ½ horse power sump-pump is installed at the bottom of the basin and a 1 and half inch sch 40 PVC pipe is tied to the sump-pump, and then taken to daylight, in order to properly drain the system. A heavy gage plastic lid is installed at the top of the basin for a solid seal. (NOTE: 110 V to be supplied by homeowner). Please see picture #

C) MOISTURE BARRIER:

A moisture barrier is typically 6mils in thickness, however we offer different thickness that range from 6mil to 20mil. The thicker the poly the stronger and more durable the barrier is. The poly barrier is placed over the crawl space floor to help reduce moisture from the ground rising up into your floor system, insulation, and home. We recommend 100% of the crawl space floor be covered with at least a 6mil poly. Please see picture #

D) Crawl Space Liner:

Our crawl space liner comes in a variety of thicknesses ranging from 10mil poly to 20mil poly. This system helps keep moisture from out side sources, out of your crawl space. Prior to the liner installation, all or any pipe penetrations are sealed, the crawl space vents are closed and sealed, and an interior pipe and stone drain system may be installed if deemed necessary by a Moistureloc expert. The poly liner is installed along the interior crawl space walls, around the interior crawl space piers, and over 100% of the crawl space floor. Say good bye Moisture!!! Please see picture #

E) Sealed Crawl Space System with Insulation:

Our Sealed Crawl Space Systems are available in two different insulation types: 1) A three inch insulation almost entirely encapsulated by cross-laminated poly except for the very bottom of the insulation, allowing for the insulation to properly ventilate itself. (Moistureloc’s Most Common Installation) 2) 1.5 inch rigid insulation board known as Thermax. Both of our insulation boards offer an R value of R-11 and offer the same functionality. Our Sealed Crawl Space system includes a cross-laminated liner installation that covers a 100% of the crawl space floor and 12 to 24 inches around the interior crawl space piers. The interior crawl space walls are insulated with a wall insulation, which includes a 10mil cross-laminated poly liner that faces the crawl space walls. Insulation around the interior crawl space walls gives the overall foundation a better seal. The crawl space, after it is sealed, can be conditioned by an HVAC contractor. We also recommend the installation of a crawl space specific dehumidifier in conjunction with the conditioning of the HVAC System, which can be a solid back-up system to the HVAC. This Sealed Crawl Space System is the ultimate system to combat high moisture levels, mold/mildew, standing water problems etc. The conditioning of the crawl space along with the Insulated Sealed Crawl Space System, keeps the environment of the crawl at a constant temperature, which is not conducive to mildew/mold growth. Therefore, keeps moisture levels at a constant low. Please see picture#

F) Dehumidifier:

Designed specifically for crawl space or basement application. The fan of the dehumidifier draws the moist air through a cold evaporator coil, which cools the air below its dew point. Moisture forms on the evaporator coil and is collected in the condensate tray, which is equipped with a permanent drain, in order to discharge the collected water. (NOTE: 110 V to be supplied by homeowner). Please see picture#

G) 4” Solid Discharge Pipe:

A 4 inch solid single-wall corrugated pipe is installed to discharge collected water to daylight. This application can be used for existing drain systems (interior or exterior), low point drains, or standard single downspouts extensions. Most application is installed by manually trenching to a location with positive drainage. On rare occasions a machine may be required. Please see picture#

H) Remote Sensor Battery Operated Crawl Space/Basement Humidity Meter:

This system is designed to measure the relative humidity levels in the crawl space/basement. The meter has a digital display which is installed inside the house for our homeowners’ convenience. Please see picture#
