Wet And Moldy Crawl Space in Dallas, TX
Challenge
A homeowner was experiencing issues with a moldy smell and warped floors. Our team at Olympic Restoration Systems was contacted. We discovered pools of water and significant mold.
Solution
First, our team applied Mold-X2 mold killer and stain remover to all the beams, base plates, floor joists, subfloor, and wooden building materials in the crawl space. Next, we installed a SmartPipe perimeter drainage system in crawl space, along with a SmartSump pump system with liner, cast iron pump, CleanPump Stand, airtight lid with an airtight floor drain, and WaterWatch alarm system. A condensate pump was attached to the dehumidifier to distribute the collected moisture to the sump pump, along with two dedicated circuits for the operation of the sump pump, dehumidifier, and condensate pump. We then covered the floor and joists with CleanSpace Drainage Matting and a CleanSpace liner. Finally, we placed two remote sensors in the crawl space that send temperature and humidity readings to a base unit inside the home, leaving this customer with a peace of mind that their crawl space would no longer have moisture issues.
