Leaking Crawl Space to Encapsulated - Salem, OR

This homeowner had a plumbing leak in their crawl space and called John's Waterproofing to do a full re-pipe on the home. Unfortunately, the damage done from the leak caused excess water to get into their crawl space and puddle on top of their vapor barrier. We informed the homeowners that we could have our plumbers re-pipe the space and to keep the space healthy we could install a full encapsulation. To begin, we took out the original vapor barrier and installed a drainage system using a perforated pipe and a SmartDrain. These two work together to collect water as it seeps through and acts as a passageway to direct it away from the homes foundation. Then, TerraBlock insulation foam and a CleanSpace vapor barrier are installed. These go along the crawl space floor to seal it off from the earth and prevent water from seeping through. A SaniDry dehumidifier helps filter the air and pull out excess moisture. Finally, Spray Foam will be applied to the foundation walls to air seal and insulate the space. Now, after the re-pipe and the encapsulation, this home is protected against water and will remain healthy.
