Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

High Humidity and cupping floors in the home before encapsulation. 

The owner of this building called after he noticed water was coming into the building. The A/C unit was built in underground tunnels, and groundwater was seeping into the tunnels, then seeping into the building. There was an existing sump pump that was not sufficient in collecting all of the moisture and was allowing water vapor to escape, causing further moisture issues. We sent one of our System Designs Specialists, Darrin, to the property for a free inspection and estimate. Darrin proposed a SmartSump sump pump, which is a closed sump system that is superior than others of its kind at collecting groundwater seepage. The owner accepted the proposal and our Production Team installed a SmartSump in the underground A/C tunnels.

Homeowners in the DFW Metroplex were concerned about leaks and water damage to their crawl space. They knew they needed to do something, so they called the professionals at Olympic Restoration Systems. 

To solve the problem, we first installed a SmartSump pump system with liner, cast iron pump, CleanPump Stand, airtight lid with airtight floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. We used an EZ Flow perimeter drainage system at the bottom of the interior perimeter grade beam walls to collect and direct moisture to the sump pump. A CleanSpace 20-mil crawl space vapor barrier was used to create a barrier between the earth floor and home. A CleanSpace drainage matting under the CleanSpace vapor barrier was used to facilitate moisture flow to the sump pump, keeping the vapor barrier off the ground and providing additional insulation. After regrading the ground in the crawl space for proper slope and drainage to direct water seepage to sump pump, we installed a small pump to move water from the dehumidifier to the sump pump. Two wireless sensors which send constant temperature and humidity readings to a digital display inside the house and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier were used to control the humidity in the crawl space and assure the owners that there were no more moisture issues.

Installation of the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to control humidity in the home.

This homeowner called looking for a trustworthy company to install a vapor barrier and dehumidifier installed in their crawl space. We sent one of our System Designs Specialists, Ross, to the property for a free crawl space inspection and estimate. Ross found evidence of moisture issues in the crawl space and presented the homeowner with a solution to keep the crawl space dry that included a CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and proceeded with a full crawl space encapsulation from Olympic Restoration Systems.
