Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Portland, OR

The average height of a crawl space is 18 inches, but the lowest part of this crawl space in Portland, OR was 7 feet! Having such a tall crawl space provides you with a lot of storage space, but it also leaves you vulnerable to pest inhabitation and frequent flooding in the winter. After owning the house for years, the homeowner decided to no longer leave nearly 4,000 square feet of his home susceptible to outside elements, so she called TerraFirma!  After she met with our System Design Specialist Erik Keyes, they both came to the conclusion that her crawl space needed VaporLoc Elite, one SmartJack, A TripleSafe Sump Pump, and two MoistureLoc dehumidifiers to prevent future mold. After the plan was in place, Nick Maszy and his production team came to the home to start the project.

There was, fortunately, no mold in the crawl space, but there were support posts that were suffering from water damage.

With how tall and open this Portland crawl space was, it was important to encapsulate the crawl space with our VaporLoc Elite barrier, as well install a MoistureLoc dehumidifier to prevent future mold.
