The owner was experiencing reactions such as rash and irritation of the skin as well as other complications when we first scoped the home. We found the structure to have mold under the subflooring and in between the joists, which was making everyone sick.
We were able to mitigate the problem by setting up containment and negative pressure in the crawlspace. Once we had an acceptable working environment, the area was hepa vacuumed and properly cleaned using a specialized cleaning solution.
This crawlspace had damp earth from bround water seepage. By installing a perimeter drainage system to a SmartSump System & dimpled drainage matting under the encapsulatiion system - we were able to control the earth moisture & help prevent mold. Now these homeowners have a clean, dry, & healthy storage space!
This crawlspace had groundwater seepage issues & exposed damp earth, which lead to the condensation of moisture around the perimeter rim assembly causing mold growth. After the mold remediation we installed a SmartSump with an airtight lid & CleanSpace Encapsulation System to isolate the home from the Earth.
These new homeowners were concerned about the mold in the crawlspace. We remediated the mold, insulated the perimeter rim joist with closed cell spray foam, & encapsualted the walls and ground to isolate the home from the damp earth.
This crawlspace had an existing Radon Liner installed, but the installers ignored the evidence of moisture coming in through the Insulated Concrete Forms or ICF's. The simple solution: we added the 12 mil cleanspace wall liner, pulled back the existing liner from the face of the footings, & tied it into the wall liner using butyl tape between the seams & 4" white top tape for a clean finish. We also sucked out the standing water that was accumulating atop of the radon liner & cleaned the entire liner with a botanical disinfectant. This crawlspace should be good to go!
