Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Get Rid of Puddles in Your Crawl Space - Hillsboro, OR

This homeowner decided it was time to do a crawl space inspection and ensure everything was running smoothly to support a stable and healthy home. Upon the inspection, puddles of water were found flooding in their crawl space. This is an issue because the moist environment promotes mold growth, attracts pests, and can cause structural damage to the homes wood. Immediately, they agreed to doing a full encapsulation to dry out the space and control the environment so it wouldn't flood again. Due to the amount of water seeping into the crawl space, a drainage system needed to be installed through a perforated pipe along the interior perimeter of the home and attached to a TripleSafe sump pump. This allows for a safe passage of water that can collect and send it safely away from the homes foundation. To properly insulate after controlling the water flow, TerraBlock and a CleanSpace vapor barrier in installed that is cut to perfectly fit the homes layout and protect the wooden posts. A SaniDry dehumidifier is inserted that can pull moisture out of the space and control the atmosphere. Spray Foam is then applied, covering all the crawl space's walls as the final insulation step and air sealing the space. Now with this encapsulation, this homeowner won't have to worry about their crawl space flooding while maintaining a safe home.
