Addressing Stagnant Water in the Crawl Space - Sisters, OR q

Stagnant water in the crawl space causes issues for the home. This home had large puddles of water on top of their 6 mil vapor barrier, and the crawl space had very high levels of humidity which had to lead to mold being a common issue for the space. Once water is trapped on top of the vapor barrier, the only place for it to go is to wait until it evaporates, enters the air and then it can affect the wooden subfloor of the home. To better protect the home, John's Waterproofing was called in. While the owners were not ready to fully encapsulate the crawl space, they did know taking a step in the right direction was progress. They had us spot treat the space for mold and than install a pipe, pump, and plastic system. This system contains a full interior perimeter system which collects groundwater and channels it to a sump pump in the low point. This than ensures that water is diverted away from the home and it doesn't just end up on the vapor barrier.
