The challenges we faced were installing the drainage system around the perimeter of the crawl space, as it was a very small, dirty, and damp area to work in.

To address this, Project Manager Steve C. went out to meet with the new clients and recommended a drainage system around both the crawl space and basement. Steve also recommended a moisture vapor barrier on the basement walls to protect the future finished basement from any wall leakage.

Now, with the basement and crawl space dry, the homeowners will be able to add more dry, usable space.

The challenges we faced were working in a tight space, as the crawl space was small in height. There was also so much humidity down there that the floor joists were dripping with moisture.

To address this, after crawl space specialist Steve met with her, the solutions he provided were a full encapsulation system with a dehumidifier. We also closed up the open vents and installed a Grate Sump pump in the low spot for drainage. Before we were even done, you could see a big difference throughout the whole home as the humidity levels started to drop rapidly. Now that the crawl space is dry and free of groundwater seepage, the homeowner has gained around 2,000 square feet of dry usable space.

The challenge we faced was tough parking on a small Philadelphia street.

To address this, we installed a small drainage system with a full vapor barrier and a sump pump.
