A homeowner in Portland, Oregon contacted TerraFirma about their damp, dirty crawl space, which had accumulated debris and signs of moisture. Concerned about mold and poor air quality, they sought a lasting solution.

During the inspection, System Design Specialist Derek Ryan discovered significant moisture issues and compromised insulation, which could lead to mold and drafts impacting energy efficiency. He recommended the VaporLoc Elite Vapor Barrier and the TripleSafe Sump Pump System with UltraSump Battery Backup System to clean out the space and seal it from external moisture, improving air quality and preventing future humidity buildup.

With the homeowner’s approval, Foreman Kevin Gasca and his team removed debris and old insulation and then installed a vapor barrier to fully encapsulate the area. The crawl space is now clean, dry, and protected, providing peace of mind and added value for years to come.
