Installing a Turtl System in Portland, OR

You can never gain control of an interior space if you keep letting unconditioned, outside air into it. Most crawl space doors leak air and ones that are below grade leak water, and many people don't know that there is a real solution for this problem. These homeowners reached out because this crawl space was in need of several repairs and their exterior access was their main concern. We went out and thoroughly inspected it, and worked with the homeowners in created a game plan that will address all of these issues. We began the project and installed a full encapsulation with a perimeter drainage system and sealed all of the vents. We then installed our TerraBlock insulation and CleanSpace 20 mil liner in order to keep the crawl space dry, stable and healthy. This pairs with Spray Foam along the foundation walls and a SaniDry dehumidifier to maintain a healthy relative humidity throughout the space. To provide a clean and convenient access to the crawl space, we install our Turtl system. This is made of plastic so it will never rot, rust, or corrode and is built to last. This system combines the exterior crawl space access and an airtight door in one sturdy unit. It will keep animals, leaves, and weeds out of the well and one of the most important features is the ability for it to lock. It is fastened to the foundation with concrete screws. Now when the homeowners want to enter their crawl space they just lift the door up and go in through the clean inside of the Turtl.
