A homeowner reached out to us after noticing standing water in their crawlspace and becoming concerned about potential damage. Following their message, we conducted a detailed inspection and identified high humidity levels and areas of standing water throughout the space. Additionally, we observed a few white spots, indicative of potential microbial growth beginning to form. Recognizing the need to address these issues promptly to prevent further damage, the homeowner sought our expertise to develop a comprehensive solution for their crawlspace concerns.
To resolve the homeowner's crawlspace issues, we implemented a tailored solution to address both water intrusion and humidity. First, we installed a drainage pipe system to redirect water effectively, along with a sump basin and sump pump to collect and remove standing water. A discharge line was added to channel water safely away from the home’s foundation. To prevent future moisture problems, we encapsulated the crawlspace with a durable vapor barrier, creating a sealed environment. To maintain optimal humidity levels, we installed a dehumidifier, ensuring the space stayed dry and healthy. Finally, we custom-built a secure crawlspace door to provide a tight seal, protecting the area from external elements. This comprehensive approach restored the crawlspace and safeguarded the home’s structural integrity.
