This homeowner called because he noticed that the hardwood floors in his home were "cupping", or warping. He was concerned that it was due to a moisture problem in the crawl space. When he looked in his crawl space, he found what appeared to be mold. We sent one of our system designs specialists, Darrin, to the home for a free crawl space inspection and estimate. Darrin found evidence of moisture and humidity issues in the crawl space. He designed a system that would fully encapsulate the crawl space to prevent the hardwood floors from further damage, and would prevent mold growth in the crawl space. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and proceeded with the work from Olympic Restoration Systems.
The crawl space encapsulation system included installing a drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, sump pump, and dehumidifier. The Production Team also closed off any outdoor air from entering the crawl space, which included closing any crawl space vents and sealing block walls. This turned the wet crawl space into a dry, conditioned area.
Crawl Space Encapsulation System installed in Dallas, TX.

Replaced old lining with the CleanSpace drainage matting and vapor barrier in addition to the SmartSump pump system to eliminate any standing water in the crawl space.
