Basement & Radon Solutions, BRS Pros installed a dewatering system in Aaron’s crawl space. The system we installed is a Hydra-Channel. We started by digging a clean trench along the left and rear interior perimeter of the crawl space foundation. The Hydra-Channel was installed according to manufacturer’s instructions, adjacent to the footing. The Hydra-Channel engineered fusion welded high strength polyethylene water system will remove storm water up to 70% faster than a pipe and stone system. This will allow water to flow freely to the in-ground sealed Sump Pump/basin. The Hydra-Channel system does carry a five year transferable warranty to prevent water on top of the ground liner. The ground liner/vapor barrier we used is our 15 mil.- Our Premium (walk on, store on) 15-mil white 100% woven reinforced liner. The premium ground liner was nailed/sealed approximately 6 to 12″ above the ground to the foundation wall. A radon piping system will be installed below the ground liner. The new piping system was connected to the existing 3″ PVC active piping system. Our 15-mil woven ground liner will control the moisture vapor and dampness from the ground. Our woven ground and wall liners are antibacterial, meaning mold and other organic growth will not grow to our liner. Lastly, we installed a Hygrometer. Which is a remote temperature and relative humidity meter, stand alone unit with one remote sensor. The wireless remote sensor was mounted in Aaron’s crawl space to give him an accurate reading of the relative humidity. This product will help Aaron monitor the effective humidity of the dehumidifier in the crawl space. It was a pleasure helping Aaron get his more safe, healthy, and happy for a new home owner!”
