Flooded Sump Pump in Crawl Space
The standing water in this crawl space is proof that the sump pump isn't doing its job. One of the big problems with coverless sump pumps is that they're susceptible to clogging or breaking from debris.
Plastic Barriers Don't Work
This home had a 6 mil ground cover, but because it had holes in it and wasn't sealed at the perimeter up the walls, it didn't stand a chance to do its job.
A Very Bad Combination
Mold loves paper facing on insulation. The fiberglass insulation in this crawl space does little when its not in a closed cavity or when it's damp.
Clean from Mold
Our mold crew treated the mold in this crawl space, making it a healthy place to be. Mold growth is very common in crawl spaces with moisture issues and standing water.
