Cleaning the Crawl Space and Upgrading the System - Everett, WA

This homes crawl space was a bit of a mess. From falling strips of fiberglass, dust layers over the vapor barrier, and dead rodents. To get the space healthier, the owners wanted to call in some professionals. We did a full inspection and than went over options with the owners to find a repair plan that worked to better their home, while also meeting the budget needs. We began by removing the old vapor barrier, debris, and the fiberglass insulation. We than dug a trench around the interior perimeter of the space. In this we installed a perforated pipe in a silt sock. This system collects water and sends it along to the lowest point of the space, from here water enters a TripleSafe sump pump to be discharged away from the home. We than laid in a new 6 Mil vapor barrier, overlapping the edges and even running this up the walls to help protect the space from having water rise and get on top of the vapor barrier. The final step for this home was changing out the exterior accessway. It had been a board that was chewed on and rotting, we replaced that with a new Everlast doorway.
