BRS Pros helped Robert with his cellar and here are some steps we took…
Foundation Vents – Foundation vents were completely sealed with poly-foam insulation from the interior of the cellar preventing exterior air and moisture from getting in.
Liner & Radon Ready – Installed our Premium (walk on, store on) 15-mil white 100% woven reinforced radon ready system. The liner will be mechanically fastened with nails designed for foundation walls to provide a permanent fastening system. (Caulking or taping liner to foundation walls is a temporary system and will become a maintenance issue.) The premium ground liner was nailed/sealed approximately 6″ to 12″ above the earth in the cellar to the foundation wall. A radon piping system was installed below the ground liner, the piping system will be used in the future when the home is tested for radon gas and requires a complete radon system. 15-mil woven ground liner will control moisture vapor and dampness from the ground. Most liners are partially reinforced, our woven liner is 100% reinforced and tough unlike competitive brand liners that are only 10% reinforced. This product will not off gas (known on Google as “crawlspace cat urine odor”, go ahead and check it out), we guarantee it!! Our woven ground and wall liners are antibacterial, meaning mold and other organic growth will not grow to the liner.

The Aprilaire Model E130 “Energy Star” rated dehumidifier delivers 23% annual energy savings above conventional products, a high-capacity solution designed for humidity control in crawlspaces and basements.
