First Visit to Damp and Moldy Crawlspace in Lynnwood, WA
On our first visit to David and Linda's home, we measured everything and inspected their crawlspace to see what could be done about improving the conditions under their home to make it ready to sell on the market.

The crawlspace had a few major problems plaguing it, including moisture, mold, and organic debris.

The must from this dirty crawlspace was circulating up through the living space and causing poor air quality in the home.

After the area was clean and cleared out, we installed our SmartDrain to capture water and stop it from collecting in the crawlspace. Addressing the moisture issue before the vapor barrier is installed is important to preventing mold down the road. The more dry the area stays, the more healthy the environment will remain.

On the second and final day, the crew installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the crawlspace. In this photo, Wyatt said the job was, "Going good, just taping up CleanSpace!"

During the encapsulation process, our Production crew tapes, seals, and caulks all edges of the material, and attaches it to the floors and walls. All opening and penetrations are sealed, leaving it clean and dry. The overall effect of this is not just aesthetic, it is also energy efficient and hinders mold and moisture. The homeowners can use the space for storage below, while reaping the benefits of better quality air above in the living space.

Once the space is fully sealed, we put in our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifer. This keeps the air's humidity maintained below 55%. The result is a much cleaner, less musty air to breath in the home, and no critters entering through crawlspace openings.

David and Linda were so excited and followed-up to let us know about the positive changes in their home after having the work completed by Rainy Day. David was even excited to show off his project to his neighbors who have similar problems in their homes! He said he felt the crew went above and beyond with the work.
