Before & After Photos

This homeowner recently purchased this home and had mold removed from the crawl space. He wanted to find a solution to prevent mold from returning. One of our System Designs Specialists, Darrin, inspected the crawl space and found evidence of moisture issues. Moisture issues in the crawl space can lead to mold growth not only in the crawl space, but throughout the entire home. Moisture in the crawl space can also lead to musty odors, cupping hardwood floors, increased allergies/asthma while at home, and sticking doors and windows. The only way to prevent these issues from occurring in a pier and beam home is to have a crawl space encapsulation system installed. 

Our Production Team completed this job by installing a drainage matting, CleanSpace moisture barrier, sump pump, and dehumidifier. They also closed off all outside air to the crawl space by sealing all vents and block walls. This turned the wet crawl space into a dry, conditioned area.

Installation of TripleSafe pump system to redirect water out of the space as well CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system in order to protect this storage area.

Regrade the soil to direct water seepage to sump system. Remove all debris from the crawl space. Install SmartSump pump system.

This homeowner called after he noticed water in his crawl space and wanted to find a way to make the home more energy efficient. We sent one of our System Designs Specialists, Ross, to the home for a free crawl space inspection and estimate. Ross found evidence of moisture issues stemming from crawl space vents, and this was also the cause of the energy inefficiency. Ross designed a crawl space encapsulation system specific to this home, which included closing off all outside air, and installing a drainage matting, vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and sump pump. This would turn the area into a conditioned space, preventing moisture issues, and making the home more energy efficient. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and proceeded with the work from Olympic Restoration Systems.
