To solve the moisture issues around the home and protect the crawlspace long term, we started by installing a full-perimeter drainage pipe system to capture water before it could pool under or against the foundation. That drainage was routed into a dedicated sump pump basin, where a 1/3 HP sump pump now automatically collects and discharges water through a properly installed discharge line that carries it safely away from the house. Inside the crawlspace, we transformed the environment with an R-5 insulated encapsulation system and a durable 15-mil floor liner, sealing the ground and separating the home from damp soil and vapor. To actively control humidity, we installed a Sierra Watchdog NXT 85-pint dehumidifier, which maintains dry, stable conditions and helps prevent mold, wood decay, and musty odors. Finally, we custom built a PVC crawlspace door that won’t rot or warp and provides a tighter seal against outside air and moisture. Together, these steps turned a wet, vulnerable crawlspace into a clean, dry, and protected space that supports the health and stability of the entire home.

To solve the problems caused by hydrostatic pressure and standing water, we focused on drying the crawlspace and turning it into a controlled environment instead of a damp, exposed one. We began by removing the existing insulation, which had become damp and was trapping moisture against the floor system, creating ideal conditions for mold and wood decay. Once the insulation was out, we applied a Pro Cleaner hydrogen peroxide treatment to the exposed wood and surfaces, helping to clean and treat areas that had been affected by moisture and organic growth. After that, we installed a heavy-duty encapsulation system with a 15-mil floor liner, sealing the ground and isolating the home from the damp soil below. To further protect the space, we custom built a PVC crawlspace door that won’t rot, warp, or absorb moisture, and provides a tighter seal against outside air and humidity. Finally, we installed a Sierra Watchdog NXT 85-pint dehumidifier to actively control humidity levels and keep the crawlspace dry year-round. Together, these steps reduced the impact of hydrostatic pressure inside the crawlspace, eliminated standing moisture, and helped protect the home’s structure and indoor air quality over the long term.

To properly address the fungus issue and prevent it from returning, we started by removing the existing crawlspace insulation, which was holding moisture and organic debris against the floor system and providing a food source for fungal growth. Next, we installed a drainage pipe system to direct any groundwater or intruding moisture toward a dedicated sump pump basin. In that basin, we placed a 1/3 HP sump pump and connected it to a discharge line that carries water safely away from the foundation, reducing the risk of future standing water under the home. To control humidity long-term, we installed a Sierra Watchdog NXT 85-pint dehumidifier, which works continuously to keep the crawlspace air dry and less favorable for mold and fungus. We also custom built a durable PVC crawlspace door to better seal the opening, helping keep out humid outside air and pests. Finally, we encapsulated the crawlspace with an R-5 insulated encapsulation system and a heavy-duty 15-mil floor liner, which covers the soil and walls to create a clean, insulated, and conditioned environment. Together, these steps not only addressed the existing fungal growth but also transformed the crawlspace into a dry, controlled space that protects the home’s structure and indoor air quality.

To resolve the issues caused by standing water in the homeowner’s crawlspace, our team implemented a comprehensive solution designed to address both the immediate moisture problem and prevent future concerns. We began by soda blasting the affected areas to clean and remove mold and debris safely. A full perimeter drainage pipe system was installed to channel water efficiently into a newly placed sump pump basin, where a powerful 1/3 HP sump pump now actively removes excess water through a dedicated discharge line. To further protect the space, we installed our Crawlspace Doctor Exclusive Encapsulation System, sealing the crawlspace from outside moisture. A Sierra Watchdog NXT 85-pint dehumidifier was added to control humidity levels consistently. For structural reinforcement, we installed PowerPost floor supports and a new steel beam to stabilize weakened areas. We also custom-built a durable PVC crawlspace door to provide secure access, and replaced the HVAC return ductwork to ensure healthy airflow throughout the home. This integrated approach not only solved the standing water issue but also significantly improved the overall health and stability of the crawlspace and home.

To address the homeowner’s concerns and create a clean, dry, and stable crawlspace, we installed our R-5 Insulated Encapsulation System, featuring a heavy-duty 23-mil floor liner for maximum moisture protection and durability. A custom-built PVC crawlspace door was added to ensure a tight seal while providing long-lasting, secure access. To regulate humidity and prevent mold growth, we installed the Sierra Watchdog NXT 85 Pint Dehumidifier, designed for continuous, efficient moisture control. Additionally, we reinforced the crawlspace structure by installing PowerPost Floor Supports, which helped stabilize the flooring above and correct any minor sagging. This comprehensive solution gave the homeowner peace of mind, knowing their crawlspace is now properly protected and structurally sound.

To address the flooring issue near the bathroom, we installed PowerPost Floor Supports beneath the affected area. These heavy-duty, adjustable supports were strategically placed to stabilize the compromised section and lift the settled floor back toward its original position. By providing strong, permanent reinforcement to the under-supported framing, the PowerPosts effectively reduced the floor hump and helped restore a level surface. This solution not only corrected the immediate problem but also ensured long-term structural stability for the area.

To address the homeowner’s foundation concerns, we installed PowerPost floor supports to provide strong, adjustable reinforcement beneath the sagging areas of the home. These steel posts are designed to stabilize and lift weakened sections of the floor system. Additionally, we reinforced the existing floor joists by doubling them or using scab joists—attaching new lumber alongside the original joists—to restore their strength and structural integrity. This solution effectively stabilized the foundation, corrected uneven flooring, and gave the homeowner confidence in the long-term support of their home.

To address the homeowner's crawlspace concerns, we implemented a comprehensive solution to resolve both moisture and structural issues. We began by removing the damaged insulation, which had been compromised by elevated moisture levels, ensuring a clean slate for further repairs. Next, we treated the framing system with a professional hydrogen peroxide cleaner to eliminate fungal growth and sanitize the space. To control humidity and maintain a dry environment, we installed a high-capacity 120-pint dehumidifier. To restore structural stability, we reinforced the crawlspace by installing PowerPost floor supports and durable steel beams, addressing the sagging areas and ensuring long-term strength. This thorough approach resolved the existing issues while preventing future damage, leaving the homeowner with a safe and healthy crawlspace.
