Photo Album: Large Crawlspace Shares a Wall with a Finished Basement, Water Damage Coming Through - West Linn, OR
This homes crawlspace was hillside by a finished basement. The homeowners had a simple 6 Mil vapor barrier installed in the crawlspace, unaware that this wouldn't protect the finished spaces. Instead, the water graded to the bottom of the sloped crawlspace, where it pooled, and began rotting away the finished wall that connected the spaces. The homeowners ended up getting the crawlspace fully encapsulated to help protect their home.
