The customer called to have a sump pump installed along with a new vapor barrier.
The customer called due to having their crawl space being encapsulated by another company incorrectly. They had covered the entrance to the second half of the crawlspace. So we re-encapsulated and installed a SuperSump pump to filter out any intrusive water.
One of the things you can do is protect your foundation from the outside. We use a product called Paraseal. It is made of expandable granular bentonite that stops water from passing through it. Leaving your foundation protected from water getting in.
In your crawl space, we always recommend the healthiest option for your home and that is a crawl space encapsulation system. We know that sometimes that just doesn't work out for the homeowner. Having a vapor barrier is essential in protecting your home so when we went in this crawl space and saw no vapor barrier we knew we needed to get one in there. Our crew installed a vapor barrier and sump pump to help keep this crawl space dry and protected.
This homeowner called us due to his crawl space having a weird smell. They used their crawl space for storage and was starting to dread going down there. The homeowner called us and our design specialist recommended a crawl space encapsulation. Our crew installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. It is 20 mils thick and has anti-microbial protection to help stop mold growth and moisture getting in the crawl space. The homeowner was so happy because the smell was gone and his crawl space is protected.
