Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Damp Oder in Crawlspace - Portland, Oregon

Teresa in Portland, Oregon had noticed some odor in her kitchen and upon inspection, she learned this was coming from having a damp crawl space. She called in to schedule an appointment with Sean who was happy to come out and go over all of the benefits of encapsulation with her. He explained that half of the air coming into the kitchen is generated from underneath her home. So, since her crawl space was damp, this created mold spores to form and grow causing odors in her kitchen and creating unhealthy air. Sean suggested having Delfino come out and fully encapsulate the crawl space and Teresa agreed.  The encapsulation included having the crawl space cleaned and dried out with a SaniDry dehumidifier. A new sump pump was put in along with the CleanSpace vapor barrier and then Fernando was able to come and complete the encapsulation with Spray Foam insulation.  Teresa is now enjoying her odor-free kitchen, but also has the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your home is protected from mold and further moisture damag
