Local Basement Waterproofing Expert in Plano, TX

This homeowner contacted Olympic Restoration Systems to complete a crawl space repair and encapsulation in Dallas, TX.  A wet crawl space can lead to mold growth, warping hardwood floors inside the home, musty odors, and increased allergies and asthma while in the home. We sent one of our crawl space experts, Wayne, to the home for a free inspection and estimate. Wayne found many issues that caused moisture in the crawl space, including groundwater seepage and open crawl space vents. Wayne designed a solution to keep the crawl space dry, which included installing drainage matting and dehumidifier. This allows for the vents to be closed, and turns the crawl space into a conditioned area. The homeowner was pleased with the solution and pricing and proceeded with a full crawl space encapsulation system from Olympic Restoration Systems.

The homeowner contacted Olympic Restoration because she believed she had high levels of radon in her home.  We sent one of our Radon Mitigation Specialists, Darrin, to the property to perform a radon test, and he sent the radon test to Alpha Energy Laboratories for testing. The results for radon came back with high levels, so Darrin proposed an estimate to the property manager for a radon mitigation system. The homeowner was impressed with the proposal and proceeded with a radon mitigation system from Olympic Restoration Systems.

These photos are from a mold remediation job completed in Plano, TX by Olympic Restoration Systems. We were contacted after a homeowner had mold growth confirmed by a licensed mold inspector and needed a licensed mold remediation company. Our Production Team was able to safely and efficiently remove the mold-damaged drywall, insulation, and flooring from the unit. In the pictures, you can see where they set up containment and used HEPA vacuums to ensure that mold and other pollutants did not circulate throughout the home during the mold removal process. 

*If you think there is mold in your home, the first step is to contact a licensed mold inspector. Per state law, the licensed mold inspector and licensed mold remediation company must be separate entities. This is a protection for the homeowner. If mold growth is confirmed by a mold inspector, you should be given a mold protocol. The next step is to send this protocol to Olympic Restoration Systems so that you can receive a licensed mold remediation estimate. 

This homeowner called Olympic Restoration Systems after a licensed mold inspector confirmed mold growth in his home.

Tired of having a damp, smelly crawl space, these homeowners contacted our team for a free evaluation. After speaking with our specialist, they decided to go with the CleanSpace encapsulation system. We began by regrading the area for proper seepage. A CleanSpace drainage matting was installed beneath a CleanSpace liner. A sump pump and dehumidifier were also added to the system. These homeowners can happily report they no longer have crawl space issues.  

Our team began by removing the mold. All the wood within the crawl space was cleaned with an EPA registered antimicrobial solution. Debris was removed and the crawl space was regraded to direct water seepage into a sump pump system. Next, we installed a SmartSump pump system with liner, cast iron pump, CleanPump Stand, airtight lid with airtight floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. Another small pump was installed to move the water from the dehumidifier to the sump pump. To keep the ground moisture and vapor from affecting the home, we used CleanSpace Drainage Matting under a CleanSpace liner. Additionally, two wireless sensors were installed to send temperature and humidity readings to a small panel inside the house. This customer could rest easy knowing that their home was restored to a safe and comfortable level.

This homeowner had a need for a dehumidifier in his garage to prevent rust. We installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which has an auto-humidistat which senses the moisture level and automatically shuts the unit off to save energy once the desired humidity level is attained.
