Kristin B's El Granada, CA, home had a crawlspace with moisture issues. Standing water was discovered, creating conditions favorable for mold growth and dry rot. This needed to be addressed to prevent further home damage and to potential health concerns.
Kristin took immediate action to effectively address these concerns, with the professional moisture experts at Clean Crawlspace. The team at Clean Crawlspace wasted no time in devising a plan to restore Kristin’s crawlspace to a clean and healthy state. They installed efficient water removal systems, preventing future water seepage by creating water trenches and installing a heavy-duty Delta Matting membrane. The entire crawlspace was then encapsulated with the highly efficient CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier system to keep moisture and dampness at bay.
Ryan's situation in his Millbrae, CA, crawlspace was a serious cause for concern and required immediate professional attention. Water creeping up the foundation walls and accumulating in the crawlspace with mud indicated a significant moisture problem that would lead to costly and extensive damage. Standing water weakens the foundation, increasing the risk of cracks, leaks, and structural instability. Mud puts immense pressure on crawl space supports, potentially causing them to rot, warp, or even collapse, compromising the structural integrity of the entire house.
Addressing these issues demanded the moisture experts at Clean Crawlspace who were called in to identify the source of the water intrusion, and recommend a comprehensive solution. This would involve drainage work, redirecting water with trenching and installing SmartSump pumps. Ignoring this issue could have led to exponentially higher repair costs and potential safety hazards down the line. Taking proactive steps now with professional help will ensure the long-term health and safety of Ryan's home and its occupants.
Clean Crawlspace Inc. recently completed a remarkable sump pump replacement, leaving the customer with a vastly improved system. Prior to our intervention, the customer's old sump pump was outdated and struggling to keep up with the demands of excessive water infiltration. This resulted in regular basement flooding and potential water damage. However, our team swiftly replaced the old sump pump with a modern, high-capacity model designed to efficiently handle water drainage. The customer's basement was subsequently transformed into a dry and protected space, with the new sump pump effectively preventing any future flooding or water-related issues. This upgrade provided the customer with peace of mind and a reliable solution for keeping their basement free from water damage.
This homeowner, unfortunately, has to deal with chronic damp soil. The crawlspace would have standing water and soaked soil when the rains hit. The homeowner installed a sump pump and it helped, but after a couple of rainy winters, the sump pump couldn't keep up and there was soaked soil and mold everywhere. His wife has health problems when she is in contact with mold, so this could pose a dangerous situation. He decided to get it dealt with in such a way so it would take care of both problems, mold and water. He called Clean CrawlSpace and we were able to come out and completely encapsulate his crawlspace thus sealing it off from moisture. We also installed an upgraded sump pump and made sure we dug trenching so all the water that came into the crawlspace ran into the sump pump. The homeowner now has a clean, moisture-free, mold-free, and healthy crawlspace for his entire family!
