Creating a Dry Crawlspace- Hillsboro, OR

This homeowner was having issues with water in their crawlspace, it was creating mold and mildew so they were wanting a solution fast, they called John's Waterproofing. After getting a free estimate and inspection, the system design specialist sat with the homeowner and went over the details of the findings and explained to the homeowner that the best solution to keep their crawlspace dry and healthy was an encapsulation. To start this encapsulation we had our team remove all the debris from the crawlspace. This crawlspace had mold in some areas so we used our Mold X2 to spot treat it. Mold X2 is a highly effective cleaner for contaminated surfaces like wood. Once the mold is taken care of, the next step in this project is to install our drainage system. We start by digging a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawlspace then we lay down a perforated pipe in a silt sock that will ensure water has a secure passage to the TripleSafe sump pump system that we installed. A discharge line is installed as well to pump the water outside. Next, our TerraBlock is installed directly on the dirt floor creating an insulated barrier between the earth and the crawlspace. Our CleanSpace system is directly installed on top of the TerraBlock and up to the foundation walls and under the footing of the posts. All vents in the crawlspace are sealed shut. 
Our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier is installed to pull out moisture and keep this crawlspace dry and at a relative humidity of 55% which will help prevent mold and mildew. To Finish this project, we spray foamed the foundation and this will ensure the space is air sealed and completely protected.
