Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawlspace moisture problems in Hillsboro, OR
This customer was sent to us by referral, she had thought she had pests in her crawlspace due to the smell she kept noticing in her home. Instead of finding pests it was discovered she had quite a bit of moisture in her crawlspace with standing water. When our inspector went out she found moisture and mold in the crawlspace which would explain the musty smell that the homeowner kept smelling. Our crew went out and completely cleaned out all the mold and debris from under the home and started the process of encapsulation of the crawlspace. The homeowner had such a huge relief when the job was completed, the smell was gone and she felt like she could finally enjoy her home.
Starting the Process
When we encapsulate the crawlspace we slide the vapor barrier under the posts to give a complete seal of the space.
Terra Block Insulation
We use a crawlspace insulation called TerraBlock that goes on the crawlspace floor. It helps insulate the space while still being protected from moisture.
CleanSpace Vapor barrier
We install our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is a 20 mil thick woven fiber plastic. We take the barrier all the way up to the sill plate of the home.
Helping the moisture
To help keep moisture out we installed a Sani Dry dehumidifier that will run to remove moisture, allergens, and any other air impurities.
