High humidity in the home caused by crawl space ventaltion. Regrade the soil to direct water seepage to sump system. Remove all debris from the crawl space.
This homeowner called after he noticed water in his crawl space and wanted to find a way to make the home more energy efficient. We sent one of our System Designs Specialists, Ross, to the home for a free crawl space inspection and estimate. Ross found evidence of moisture issues stemming from crawl space vents, and this was also the cause of the energy inefficiency. Ross designed a crawl space encapsulation system specific to this home, which included closing off all outside air, and installing a drainage matting, vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and sump pump. This would turn the area into a conditioned space, preventing moisture issues, and making the home more energy efficient. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and proceeded with the work from Olympic Restoration Systems.
Very dirty crawl space which also caused high humidity in the home before remediation and encapsulation.
This homeowner called after he noticed a moisture problem in his garage. He then investigated the crawl space, and realized there was a moisture problem there as well. He wanted to know if the two issues were related, and if so, how to fix the problem. We sent one of our System Designs Specialists, Ross, to the home for a free crawl space encapsulation estimate. After inspecting the crawl space, Ross found evidence of moisture issues that led to moisture problems in the garage as well. Ross presented a solution to dry the crawl space out permanantly, which would keep it from causing issues throughout the rest of the home, including the garage. The homeowner accepted and proceeded with a full crawl space encapsulation system from Olympic Restoration Systems.
The Production Team completed the encapsulation process, which included a drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, SmartSump sump pump, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
