Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Vacation Home Trouble in Mt. Hood
This customer called because they had a lovely vacation home that they liked to go to in the winter to enjoy the northwest winter. Unfortunately, in the Northwest, our winters bring rain and snow, they noticed water pooling around the foundation wall and decided to check the crawlspace. They then found four inches of water in their crawlspace, even with having their own sump pump. These homeowners were ready for a permanent fix to have a dry and clean crawlspace. We went out and pulled out the old vapor barrier and old insulation because it had absorbed the moisture in the crawlspace and was sagging. We installed a drainage line that will drain down to our TripleSafe sump pump. Our crews did a crawlspace encapsulation and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help alleviate the moisture in the crawlspace. The homeowner was so happy that they could finally enjoy their vacation home and know that even when away their home is protected from the harsh rain.
Pump Install
We installed our TripleSafe sump with a drainage system, our TripleSafe is a three pump system that runs the pumps based on the level of water draining in.
Encapsulation
We completely sealed the crawlspace with our CleanSpace Vapor barrier. It is 20 mils thick and is made with a woven fiber that makes it rib resistant.
Crawlspace Door
We installed our EverLast Door that is an air tight sealed crawlspace entrance door that will not rust or rot.
Before
This is the DIY sump pump the homeowner had made to try and remove the water.
Before
Due to long exposure to water, every time it rained the insulation started to sag and dirt and debris got in the crawlspace.
After
We installed our SaniDry dehumidifier that will keep the moisture out while filtering out mold spores, dust mites, and allergens.
