Mold Problems Photo Album: Mildew Smell in the Crawl Space - Portland, OR

This homeowners gutters were overflowing onto the driveway and sidewalk. After this had been ongoing for a while, the smell began. A mildew odor emanated from the crawl space. They called up John's Waterproofing wanting a solution to keep their home dry and healthy.

Nasty Crawl Space

The crawl space had the old vapor barrier out of place with exposed dirt. The above insulation was mildewing from absorbing water from the air.

Installing an Encapsulation System

We cleaned out the space and installed drainage, TerraBlock Insulation, and CleanSpace

Sealing the Clean Space

CleanSpace goes under every wooden post, anchors and seals along the walls, and every seam is sealed shut with a special four inch wide waterproof tape.
