Upgrading Crawl Space to Create Storage- Lummi Island, WA

These homeowners noticed that the crawl space they were using as storage was beginning to have a lot of rodent activity and musty smells, so they called us up to find them a solution to offer peace of mind while storing their personal belongings. One of our system design specialists went out to perform a free estimate and inspection and then met with the homeowners to go over the correct plan for this crawl space. After discussing the options, they moved forward with the project. We first began by removing all of the debris, fiberglass insulation and old barrier. Since this crawl space did not have much water intrusion, the owners chose to have us install our SmartDrain system. This system will alert the homeowners of a possible plumbing leak with an audible alarm and will drain the water to a drywell underneath the CleanSpace until the problem can be addressed. Next, we install our TerraBlock system onto the dirt floor to create an insulated barrier separating the home from the earth and will block moisture from making its way up through the crawl space floor. We then install our CleanSpace system on top of the TerraBlock and onto the foundation walls, up to the rim joist and is then sealed at the footing of the wooden posts with our waterproof tape. We also install our EverLast door to create exterior access into the crawl space and will adapt to all weather conditions. To keep the environment controlled, we then install our SaniDry Sedona. This dehumidifier will effectively eliminate damp and musty odors while keeping the home at a heathy relative humidity. This will also help at promoting healthy air throughout the entire home. Lastly, to finish this project we install our foam insulation. This is sprayed onto the foundation walls, up to the rim joists filling every crack and void guaranteeing a complete airtight seal. With this encapsulation, these homeowners can be sure that their personal belongings will be protected.
