Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Toxic Crawl Spaces Create Toxic Homes - Eugene, OR

When this family started noticing foul, musty odors wafting up through their interior flooring, they knew it was time to call on John's for professional help. We scheduled a Design Specialist out to their home to take a look. After inspecting the crawl space, he found evidence of water intrusion and damage, and significant mold growth. He explained to the homeowner that water intrusion into crawl spaces causes a plethora of damage - including structural impairment, soil erosion, mold growth, toxic air quality, and more. Further, he explained that mold within a crawl space is highly dangerous to families, as 40% of interior air, comes from below. This means that whatever is beneath a home - be it mold, rot, rodent infestation, etc. - is also within the home, and entering the lungs of the family everyday. Our Design Specialist explained to the homeowner, that the best way to protect your home and your family from the terrible effects of water damage, is to professionally encapsulate the space. Encapsulated crawl spaces are sealed, waterproofed, and insulated from the ground up - achieving a 100% air-tight seal to ensure that no water, rodents, or debris can enter. Thanks to the air-tight seal of the space, air quality is easily controlled around the clock with our heavy-duty SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, installed on a dedicated circuit. The SaniDry Sedona works continuously to remove all allergens, moisture, and toxins from the air, while preventing the growth of mold.
