Crawl Space Repair in South Haven, MN
Challenge
Water seepage through crawl space walls and the crawl space floor is a problem in many homes. If it is left unfixed, a wet crawl space can easily be damaged by mold, termites, and wood rot. In fact, most crawl spaces are moldy and foul-smelling spaces that homeowners typically avoid. Many of them flood, and they can be filled with debris that is leftover from when the home was built.
A family in South Haven, MN was experiencing these same issues in their crawl space, and they wanted to get it fixed up as soon as possible so they could use the space for storage. They went online, came across our website, and saw that we provided free estimates. They called us at 800-795-1204 and scheduled a no-obligation FREE estimate with our Design Specialist.
Our Design Specialist went to their home to carefully inspect their problems and come up with a solution that fit their needs and budget. The family was content with our proposal, presentation, and our products, so they moved forward with the project and scheduled a date for our crew to come out and install our system.
Solution
Our production Foreman and his crew began the project by meeting the family and making sure they were comfortable with what was going to happen and answered any last-minute questions that they had. Next, our crew got to work and cleaned out the debris in the crawl space. Next, they installed our drainage matting on the ground of the crawl space. Our drainage matting gives the water that is flooding into the crawl space a channel underneath the crawl space liner. This directs the water that is flooding the crawl space into the perimeter crawl space drain. Lastly, our Foreman and his team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier. This vapor barrier is made to stop moisture from passing through the walls and floors, prevent mold and humidity, and transforms the crawl space into a dry, clean, and energy-efficient part of the home. After the completion of the project, our Foreman gave the family a final walkthrough and made sure they were happy with the work that was done.
