Rainy Day Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Greg and Cheryl from Stanwood, WA, had a big problem—mold in their crawlspace! They felt worried about the health of their family and their home's safety. So, they called Rainy Day Basement Systems for help. Kirsten, an expert inspector, came to their rescue. Kirsten suggested waterproofing the crawlspace, encapsulating it in CleanSpace, and using Mold-X2, a special botanical solution used to prevent mold. Now, Greg and Cheryl's crawlspace is healthy, and they feel much better knowing their family is safe and their home is protected.

Before Rainy Day Basement Systems stepped in, Greg and Cheryl's crawlspace was wet and moldy. They were worried about water damage and their home's foundation. They reached out to Kirsten, an expert inspector, for help. Kirsten knew just what to do. She recommended installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Our TripleSafe quickly pumps out the water from the crawlspace, keeping it dry and safe. Kirsten also suggested adding drainage trenches to make sure water never builds up again. Now, Greg and Cheryl can use their crawlspace without worry, and their home is protected from water damage long-term.

Mary noticed moisture in the crawl space of her 1950's home and contacted Rainy Day Basement Systems for a free inspection and estimate. Jean-Paul, System Design Specialist, noted signs of mold and moisture, and there was no proper vapor barrier, which was contributing to the moisture issues. Working with Mary, Jean-Paul came up with a scope of work that set out to accomplish controlling moisture, closing the crawl space with encapsulation, protecting the home from mold and intrusion, and providing energy efficiency. Tyler's crew installed the job, carefully removing debris, cleaning the crawl space, and installing a thick, 20 mil vapor barrier over the walls and floor. The crew also installed a SmartDrain and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. With the crawl space now closed, humidity under control, and moisture no longer an issue, Mary said, "The crawl space looks great!"

Mary's 1950s home was like many of its era, with a vented crawl space that lacked protection. This meant that moisture from the ground and air could easily seep into the crawl space, creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Looking for a permanent solution, she reached out to Rainy Day Basement Systems.

System Design Specialist, Jean-Paul, examined her crawl space and quickly identified the problem. He explained that the lack of a proper vapor barrier and the open vents were allowing moisture to enter the crawl space and causing problems within the home. He recommended encapsulation, a process that involves sealing the crawl space with a thick vapor barrier and closing any vents or openings.

Rainy Day cleaned up the crawl space, installed the vapor barrier, and sealed all openings. Within a short time, Mary's crawl space was dry, mold-free, and energy-efficient. She was happy with the results, saying, "The crawl space looks great, and the crew was professional, helpful, and thorough."

Mary's story is a reminder that homeowners don't have to suffer from crawl space problems. With the right solution, crawl spaces can be transformed into dry, healthy, and energy-efficient spaces.

For over a year, Mary N. in Burlington had been dealing with moisture in her crawl space, which showed signs of mold along the wood beams, damp ground, and the remnants of a shredded vapor barrier. She wanted to fix it once and for all. Our inspector, Jean-Paul, visited the home to provide a free inspection and estimate. After a thorough examination, he designed a system to clean and protect the space long-term. Tyler's crew installed the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, sealing the space with a thick, permanent vapor barrier built to last, with a 25-year workmanship guarantee. To keep the air clean and humidity low, they also installed a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, which automatically filters the air and maintains low humidity to prevent mold growth. Since over 60% of the air in a home comes from the crawl space, having a clean, mold-free crawl space is essential to having clean air and a healthy living environment. Now the home is safe and protected for good.
