Crawl Space Remediation in Dallas, TX

Challenge

This customer called and stated that he had a house built in the 50's with a crawl space. He was concerned because the crawl space covers he had on his house were letting cold air in. He expressed that he had tried to find coverings for the crawl space openings, but there were too many openings that needed different size coverings. We sent a System Designs Specialist, Tyler, to the property to assess the crawl space. During his inspection, Tyler found evidence of moisture issues in the crawl space. Tyler offered a solution that would keep cold air out, and would keep the crawl space from developing mold, wood rot, and many other issues related to moisture. The homeowner accepted and proceeded with a crawl space encapsulation from Olympic Restoration Systems.

Solution

The production team started by removing debris from the crawl space and regrading the soil. Next, they placed a SmartSump to drain water away from the crawl space. Next, they placed drainage matting underneath a CleanSpace vapor barrier on the crawl space floor to isolate the home from the earth. Finally, they placed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in the crawl space to dry any moisture from the air.
