Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This customer called with concerns about the moisture and humidity in their crawl space. They suspected that they may have mold in the crawl space as well, due to the amount of moisture that they had noticed. They were experiencing high humidity in their home and thought that it may be coming from the crawl space. They were looking for a quote for an encapsulation in their crawl space to alleviate this issue in their home.

Olympic Restoration Systems was contacted for an assessment of their crawl space. We had a Specialist visit the property and they proposed a quote to the customer. They proceeded with a crawl space encapsulation for their home from Olympic Restoration Systems.

Regraded the soil to direct water seepage to sump system. Removed all debris from the crawl space. Installed SmartPipe in crawl space. Around the perimeter of both crawl spaces, Installed SmartSump System and UltraSump Combination. This is the Sump
pump system with a Battery Failsafe, back up pump in case of power outages. Installed separate dedicated circuit/outlet for the sump pump. Installed two wireless sensors in the crawl spaces which send temperature and humidity readings to a small panel inside the house.

This homeowner recently purchased this home and had mold removed from the crawl space. He wanted to find a solution to prevent mold from returning. One of our System Designs Specialists, Darrin, inspected the crawl space and found evidence of moisture issues. Moisture issues in the crawl space can lead to mold growth not only in the crawl space, but throughout the entire home. Moisture in the crawl space can also lead to musty odors, cupping hardwood floors, increased allergies/asthma while at home, and sticking doors and windows. The only way to prevent these issues from occurring in a pier and beam home is to have a crawl space encapsulation system installed. 

Our Production Team completed this job by installing a drainage matting, CleanSpace moisture barrier, sump pump, and dehumidifier. They also closed off all outside air to the crawl space by sealing all vents and block walls. This turned the wet crawl space into a dry, conditioned area.

Customer's Encapsulation System had many problems, leaks from crawl space pipes, tears in the liner, Sump Pump problems. We were able to come in and alleviate all issues, and repair/replace the necessary pieces to bring the system back to the correct state. Before and After of Crawl Space.
