This homes high humidity was leaving water mold to grow under and on top of the simple 6 mil vapor barrier. To stay on top of this issue, they were getting a new vapor barrier laid down every few years. To have a lasting solution, they reached out for our full encapsulation with a SaniDry dehumidifier to keep their home dry and healthy.
This homeowner called us up for help. Their crawlspace had standing water and they could see some of the wooden piers were floating above their footings. The wanted to protect their home and new both of these issues would need to be addressed. We cleared the crawlspace, installed SmartJacks, and did a full encapsulation to make this space dry and healthy once more.
This homeowner purchased the home with a "drainage" system already in place. They soon found out that it was a flawed system that did not work. The previous owner put a sump pump outside by the French drain with good intentions of pumping the water that was draining out of the crawlspace away from the home. It just wasn't the correct solution for this home. We installed a smartsump sump pump inside the crawlspace along with Cleanspace, silver glo and a Sedona dehumidifier to give the crawlspace the proper drainage, moisture protection and insulation it so badly needed.
The customer lives along the coastline, so being in a moist climate did their crawlspace more harm than good. Along with no one being down there for quite some time, it ended up being in shambles. So Pedro and his crew cleaned it out and installed a 6 mil Vapor Barrier to help protect the home from water intrusion.
Water absorbs into old fiberglass like a sponge, making it water heavy and grow mold. This homes old insulation was a mess, and the homes heating and cooling costs were high. With a full encapsulation we were able to help them regain control over their HVAC costs and make their home dry and healthy!
