Judith contacted us here at Basement & Radon Solutions to help waterproof her crawl space. We also installed her radon mitigation system a few years ago.Ā
Solutions provided:
Basement & Radon Solutions, BRS Pros, did some work for Judith and it went like…Ā 1. Removed all of the contaminated insulation from Judith’s crawl space.Ā 2. Cleaned the sub-floor for wood decaying fungi and organic growth. After cleaning a second EPA registered fungicide, cleaner, and deodorizer was fogged throughout the crawl space. It kills 99.9% of mold spores and will inhibit the growth of mold and mildew.Ā 3. Sealed all of the foundation vents with 2 foam insulation to prevent exterior air and moisture entering the crawl space.Ā 4. Installed 9 mil white 100% woven reinforced vapor barrier to the walls of the crawl space.Ā 5. We sprayed the rim joists & sill plates with polyurethane foam that is Class A rated . It is a closed cell spray foam that prevents air infiltration and insulates the wood band plates.Ā 6. We laid blanket insulation that is 3 1/2″ thick around the interior perimeter of the foundation walls.Ā 7. We installed a 15 mil white 100% woven reinforced vapor barrier to the floor of the crawl space. Our 15 mil liner is a premium walk on/store on approved vapor barrier. Our liners are also antibacterial, meaning mold and other organic growth will not grow to the liner.Ā 8. Replaced the old sump pump basin liner.Ā 9. Next, we installed an Aprilaire 1870 dehumidifier. This model can remove up to 130 pints of moisture per day! Proudly made in the USA and come with a 5 year manufactures warranty.Ā 10. Lastly, we installed the Hygrometer for the crawl space. This is a remote temperature and relative humidity meter for Judith to be able to keep an eye on the crawl space from the monitor mounted inside her home.Ā It was a pleasure to help Judith get her home happy, healthy, and safe again!Ā Ā “
