Lebanon winter brought more water than usual to this crawlspace

During the nasty winter of 2017 we had many calls to our office from people who were having water flooding into their basements and crawlspaces. this home was no exception. Sometimes when things like this happen some home owners improvise until we can make it out to the home. That’s exactly what this homeowner did, he put a make shift sump pump in the crawl to at least minimize the water coming in. you can see in the before picture that it helped, but definitely was not a permanent solution to this homeowner’s problem. Our crew came in cleaned up the crawl installed a more efficient sump pump in a proper low point spot of the crawlspace along with a back-up battery and dehumidifier. It was also encapsulated without Cleanspace system to help keep out any water or moisture. Later on our crew came back out to finish putting in spray foam insulation.
