Photo Album: CleanSpace Makes Rental Home Safer in Johnston, SC

Kay L. inherited her Johnston, SC home years ago and decided to use it as a rental home. The same family has lived in the home since Kay started renting it out. They have taken great care of the home but Kay had to have wood replaced in the crawl space several times over the years. The wood kept rotting because of moisture but Kay no longer wanted to have to keep replacing it. She wanted a permanent solution that would keep her tenants safe. She did a search online and found Cantey Foundation Specialists. After calling in and speaking with a representative, she set up an appointment for a free inspection. System Design Specialist Jerod Tafta arrived for the scheduled appointment and did a thorough inspection of the crawl space. Afterward, he sat down with Kay to explain how Cantey's CleanSpace system would be a permanent solution. The CleanSpace system would begin with the installation of drainage matting to help moisture flow to a SmartSump. The SmartSump would pump all excess moisture out of the barrier. Then a thick liner of CleanSpace material is installed across the floor, piers, and walls of the crawl space. This creates a strong barrier between the ground and outside away from the crawl space as well as the home above. Kay felt like this investment would not only keep her tenants safe but would be a great investment to protect the structural integrity of the home. Production Team Leader Israel Santana, Production Team Member Austin Boan, and Production Team Member Zenen Dominguez came out and successfully installed the CleanSpace system. Kay believes the CleanSpace system has helped her tenants and she will soon have it installed at her own home.
