The installation team completed a comprehensive crawlspace waterproofing and structural repair project designed to improve moisture control and restore the integrity of the floor system. The work included the installation of 134 linear feet of AmeriDrain interior crawlspace drainage system along the foundation perimeter to intercept groundwater intrusion and relieve hydrostatic pressure at the footing level. The drainage system was routed to one SuperSump sump station, which was installed to efficiently collect and discharge water away from the home through a dedicated exterior discharge line. To create a clean and controlled crawlspace environment, 1,150 square feet of the CleanSpace encapsulation system was installed across the crawlspace floor and sealed along foundation surfaces and penetrations to form a continuous, durable vapor barrier. This system helps prevent ground moisture from entering the crawlspace, reduces humidity levels, and protects structural components from moisture-related deterioration. The project was completed with the installation of one steel crawlspace access door, providing a secure, durable, and weather-resistant entry point while helping maintain the integrity of the encapsulation system. In addition to the waterproofing improvements, structural repairs were performed to restore proper support beneath the home. The repairs included the replacement of 30 linear feet of sill plate and the installation of six sister joists to reinforce weakened floor framing, improve load distribution, and enhance the overall stability of the floor system. Together, these upgrades provide long-term moisture protection, improved structural performance, and a healthier crawlspace environment.
