The installation team completed a comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and moisture-control project designed to protect the home from groundwater intrusion, excess humidity, and mold-related concerns. The work included the installation of 166 linear feet of AmeriDrain interior crawlspace drainage system along the foundation perimeter to intercept groundwater seepage and relieve hydrostatic pressure at the footing level. The drainage system was routed to one AmeriSump sump station, which was installed to efficiently collect and discharge water away from the home through a dedicated exterior discharge line. To further control moisture conditions beneath the home, 1,468 square feet of reinforced vapor barrier was installed across the crawlspace floor and sealed around foundation surfaces and penetrations to create a continuous moisture barrier. This system helps prevent ground moisture from entering the crawlspace environment, reducing humidity levels and protecting structural components from moisture-related deterioration. In conjunction with the vapor barrier installation, Timbor wood treatment spray was applied throughout the crawlspace to exposed framing members and structural wood surfaces. This borate-based treatment helps inhibit mold growth, protects against fungal decay, and contributes to a healthier crawlspace environment. The project was completed with the installation of one steel crawlspace access door, providing a durable, secure, and weather-resistant entry point while helping maintain the integrity of the moisture-control system. Together, these improvements create a cleaner, drier, and more protected crawlspace designed for long-term performance and structural preservation.
