Unhealthy Crawl Space
This damp crawl space was only causing the homeowners problems. The moisture in the soil was only absorbed into the house.
Damp and Dirty Insulation
The pink insulation also absorbed some of the moisture and started to mold. Moist and moldy insulation is incredibly bad, because wood beams (that are helping support the weight of your home) are sitting right beside it! These beams have mold on them and are weakening by the day!
Wood Moisture Content
53% moisture content means this wood is decaying. Our inspectors do this test to ensure we get the right products in your space to prevent further damage.
CleanSpace Liner
After the drainage matting was installed, our vapor barrier liner was installed on top. It is a 20mil thick liner with polyethylene composition and 7 layers of polyester-cord reinforcement.
TripleSafe Sump Pump
This powerful sump pump has TRIPLE the power, because of its 3 different automatically changing pumps! One is even battery operated, so you won't have to stay up at night during an especially nasty storm worried about your power going out!
