Photo Album: Wet Crawlspace Encapsulated in Gray, GA

This home in Gray, GA was flooded with water. With the crawlspace not being sealed, it only took one day of heavy rain to flood the crawlspace. With the water sitting in pools under the home, the humidity started the process of mold growth and wood rot. The homeowner made the right choice to call Lowcountry Foundation Repair to encapsulate the crawlspace, sealing it off from the water and creating a controlled space.

Before Encapsulation 1

Here is before the encapsulation. Notice the saturated soil and standing water.

After Encapsulation 1

There is a complete transformation in the space. The sealed vapor barrier protects the space from groundwater, then dehumidifiers monitor and control the residual air moisture. There is also a sump pump that pushes the water away from the home.

Before Encapsulation 2

The whole crawlspace had flooded. The water had to be pumped out to start the work.

After Encapsulation 2

After encapsulation, if it rains, the vapor barrier can act almost like a water bed until the pump can push the water away from the home. Having an unsealed vapor barrier would simply not work and water would intrude the space
