This home in Stafford VA had a crawl space that was cold, dirty, wet and had mildew collecting all over. The existing insulation attached to the crawl space ceiling was loose and smelled musty. The floors of the crawl space were covered with dirty old plastic that was trapping moisture allowing more mildew to appear. Our production crew cleared out all of the old insulation material and plastic floor covering before spraying to help prevent future issues. The dirt floors were smoothed over to make a more level and even surface. The open vents of the crawl space were sealed and then Silver Glo insulation paneling was installed on all of the crawl space walls. Smaller blocks of Silver Glo were cut to fit inside of the rim joists to the home and were air sealed in with Spray Foam. This air seal will eliminate the opportunity for outside temperatures and moisture to impact the conditions inside of the crawl space. Insulating the walls eliminates the need to insulate the ceiling of the crawl space.
Homeowners in Quantico, VA reached out to us for crawl space encapsulation after they saw mice in their crawl space and noticed significant issues with temperature and humidity in their home. Our Sales Professional, Pedro, visited the home to provide a free, no obligation estimate, and once the contract was signed, the 3 Pros Production Crew got to work. They started by placing a drainage layer and a vapor barrier in the crawl space floor. Our CleanSpace will prevent moisture as well as pests from entering the home via the crawl space. Keeping the crawl space dry can also reduce long-term damage to structure supporting building material. Next, they applied closed-cell spray foam insulation to the walls and rim joists, where the crawl space was releasing outside air into the main level of the home. These homeowners were happy with the work that was done and observed a great improvement of their home's overall health.
This Fairfax VA home had water in the crawl space so the homeowners called us to help install waterproofing solutions. After sealing up the crawl space and installing a sump pump, a discharge line was needed to direct the collected water away from the foundation of the home. After digging up the yard to create a trench, our production team tried to get the yard back to its original condition.
This Fairfax VA home had a sump pump that has been doing its job. Because of that, it was covered in corrosion, dirt, and sediment that came along with the dirty water it had been pumping out of the home for the last year. Our service tech Brent stopped in for an annual service check and got the pump cleaned and ready to keep working in the future.
This basement in Fairfax VA had unwanted water collecting in it. The home owners had installed a stand alone dehumidifier and placed it next to their existing sump pump to drain it. unfortunately, this is a common mistake made by many homeowners trying to self address basement water problems. Placing a dehumidifier next to a sump pump can lead to the same water being pulled back into the dehumidifier once it is drained in the sump pump well. This can overwork both devices and keeps the moisture in the area. Our production team installed a new sump pump with a cover and had it properly located to receive all of the water collected by our Water Guard basement waterproofing system.
