John's Waterproofing Case Studies: Annual Service - Checking a Dehumidifier in Troutdale, OR
Challenge
When we do a waterproofing job, we know that the job isn't going to be a solution and be done with its situation forever. Homes have foundations that settle over the years, and water is a force of nature so different storms can loosen up dirt, put pressure somewhere new, or just bring unforeseen challenges to the systems installed. For this reason, we like to perform annual service checks. It ensures that your waterproofing is still going strong and is taking care of your home. Just like a car, some of the items we use to waterproof also need maintenance to work to their full capabilities. For example, sump pumps should be checked and cleaned if needed, and dehumidifiers need to be inspected and have their filters changed out. No matter what your home is up against we want your system to be in tip-top shape!
Solution
This home had a full crawlspace encapsulation, and due to the location of their home, it experienced high humidity. We installed a SaniDry Sedona to keep the home's relative humidity at a safe level so that mold wouldn't grow under their home. We were very pleased when the homeowners opted to do their annual maintenance check, due to the high humidity that their Sedona was up against, the filter had gotten very dirty in its first year of work! But our service technicians quickly inspected, cleanup, and replaced what was needed to ensure the system could work properly to keep this home dry and healthy!
