John's Waterproofing Case Studies: Failing drain in Salem Oregon Crawlspace
Challenge
When Robin first inspected this house, he knew there were big problems. Not only was the vapor barrier torn and not covering the ground, improper drain lines were directing water under the home. This excessive water leads to rot developing in already improperly positioned posts. Our team proceeded to install a proper drainage system, replace rotted post, and encapsulate the space. This made it dry and healthy for our home owners.
Solution
Our team first removed the sagging insulation and replaced the failing and leaking drainage lines with tight fitting drains that lead to a sump pump and finally out to the appropriate discharge as opposed to back into the crawlspace. The rotted and wrong sized posts were exchanged for Smart Jacks and then fully encapsulted the space with our patented CleanSpace material.
