Taking the Crawl Space Back from Rodents in Silverton, OR

These homeowners were in desperate need of finding a permanent solution that would stop pests and rodents from entering and nesting in their crawl space. It began to create serious issues for these homeowners such as foul odors going up into the home and the rodents causing damage to the fiberglass insulation as well as some of the wooden posts.  So they gave John's a call and we went out to perform a thorough inspection. After, we met with the homeowners and went over the best options to address all of these issues once and for all. They then moved forward with the estimate and we began.

First we removed all of the debris, including the old vapor barrier and fiberglass insulation. Since there was not much water intrusion in this crawl space, we installed our SmartDrain system which will alert the homeowner of a plumbing leak with an audible alarm and will drain the leak into a drywell underneath the crawl space until the homeowner can address the leak. We then make sure that all of the vents are covered and sealed shut to not only prevent outside air from entering but also rodents, pests and other unwanted visitors. Next, we install our TerraBlock system onto the dirt floor of the crawl space to block out moisture and to create an insulated barrier between the home and the earth. Over top of the TerraBlock, we install our CleanSpace. This 20 mil thick liner is anchored into the foundation walls, up to the rim joists, and is sealed at the footing of the wooden posts with our heavy duty waterproof tape. We then want to keep the environment controlled so we install our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air, keeping the home at a healthy relative humidity while promoting better air quality in the entire home. Finally to finish this project we install our SilverGlo Wall system into the foundation walls to help insulate. Now that this crawl space is sealed and protected these homeowners no longer have to worry about any rodents or pests entering their home.
