Before & After Photos

This homeowner called looking for a trustworthy company to install a vapor barrier and dehumidifier installed in their crawl space. We sent one of our System Designs Specialists, Ross, to the property for a free crawl space inspection and estimate. Ross found evidence of moisture issues in the crawl space and presented the homeowner with a solution to keep the crawl space dry that included a CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The homeowner was pleased with the proposal and proceeded with a full crawl space encapsulation from Olympic Restoration Systems.

Homeowners in the DFW Metroplex were concerned about leaks and water damage to their crawl space. They knew they needed to do something, so they called the professionals at Olympic Restoration Systems. 

To solve the problem, we first installed a SmartSump pump system with liner, cast iron pump, CleanPump Stand, airtight lid with airtight floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. We used an EZ Flow perimeter drainage system at the bottom of the interior perimeter grade beam walls to collect and direct moisture to the sump pump. A CleanSpace 20-mil crawl space vapor barrier was used to create a barrier between the earth floor and home. A CleanSpace drainage matting under the CleanSpace vapor barrier was used to facilitate moisture flow to the sump pump, keeping the vapor barrier off the ground and providing additional insulation. After regrading the ground in the crawl space for proper slope and drainage to direct water seepage to sump pump, we installed a small pump to move water from the dehumidifier to the sump pump. Two wireless sensors which send constant temperature and humidity readings to a digital display inside the house and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier were used to control the humidity in the crawl space and assure the owners that there were no more moisture issues.

Per the customer - this is a small 980 square foot house that they just built last summer out in the country on a 2.5% sloping elevation. They have a concrete perimeter with concrete down the center with 12" joists. The problem that they were having, is the ground under the house is dirt without a barrier. In spite of the ventilation around the perimeter of their new home, they were finding that moisture was getting trapped beneath the house. Water was dripping off of the joists near the middle of the house and some of the plywood was already soft, after only a year. They were needing, and looking for, a solution to fix the moisture and high humidity problem, permanently, and maintain a dry environment underneath their house. They were very interested in a finding out about a crawlspace encapsulation to regulate the humidity and moisture to prevent further damage to their home.

Olympic Restoration Systems was contacted for an assessment of their crawl space. We visited the property and proposed a quote to the customer. They proceeded with a crawl space encapsulation for their home.

This homeowner was experiencing many symptoms of a crawl space moisture issue. There was a moldy smell throughout the home, cupping hardwood floors, and there was visible moisture in the crawl space. Our Production Team was able to install a crawl space encapsulation system that included drainage matting, a vapor barrier, a sump pump, and a dehumidifier. This turned the wet crawl space into a dr, conditioned area.
