This crawl space desperately needed a new vapor barrier. The preexisting one was covered in dirt, missing in some places and was no longer serving its purpose. We encapsulated the crawl space with a highly durable lining called CleanSpace. The 20 mils. thick lining seals the space and greatly reduces moisture and humidity.
The homeowners of this Bothell house were concerned about the condition of their crawl space. It was missing an adequate vapor barrier and had fallen insulation, it also had moisture problems in the past. We installed a new 6 mils. black vapor barrier to help keep the moisture vapor to a minimum. Drainage trenching was added to capture any ground water and prevent standing water from pooling underneath the new vapor barrier. The drainage led to the TripleSafe Sump Pump we installed.
The TripleSafe incorporates three pumps in one and offers the homeowner the most protection. Finally, we added a LawnScape outlet. The LawnScape is a discrete buried discharge line that will direct the unwanted water away from the foundation of the home.

Before
After
Tim and Kathy were having moisture problems in their Mill Creek, WA, home, so they decided to get their free inspection from Rainy Day. After providing a quote, we determined it would be best to redirect the incoming water through a newly installed drainage system. We added our TripleSafe sump pump system to handle all their future leaks. Our TripleSafe comes with a built-in battery backup that allows pumping to continue, even during power outages. We laid down piping and encapsulated the entire crawl space using CleanSpace, making sure to seal off the edges and wrap the piers. Moisture problems are a thing of the past for the couple, now that they have had their system installed by Rainy Day!

Job Stories From Bothell, WA
Preventing Iron Ochre Clogs in Bothell Drainage System
Steve and Nicole F. reached out to Rainy Day because the existing system in the crawl space of their Bothell home was clogged and creating standing water in some places. Although neither made much use of the space and rarely made trips to the dank musty area, they knew the risks of having moisture in their crawl space and needed to have the issue resolved. When dealing with allergies to mold and hay fever, precautionary measures could not be overlooked.
It was very clear to Rainy Day experts that Steve and Nicole’s system was clogged due to iron ochre and iron bacteria. Iron ochre grows in pipes and attaches itself to surfaces creating a layer of a rust colored slime. The iron bacteria are damaging to a home’s pipe system in a number of ways, once built up enough, it can begin to corrode plumping equipment. The buildup can also break away creating clogs farther down the pipes, like in Steve and Nicole’s case.
Our specially designed non-clogging half pipe drainage system was manufactured precisely for these circumstances. The half pipe is nearly three times the diameter of our traditional drainage system pipes, giving materials much more room to pass through. In addition, the pipe has an open top, made for easy access to the system in the improbable event of a clog. This type of system was installed along the footing of the foundation walls in Steven and Nicole’s crawl space, leading all captured water through their updated TripleSafe Sump Pump. The pump is three pumps in one and can give the owner peace of mind by knowing that if one pump fails or cannot handle the volume, another is there to help; and a third, battery operated pump is there to automatically run in the instance of a power outage. The pump is also equipped with the WaterWatch Alarm system, a product that will alert Steve and Nicole if it comes in contact with water, perhaps from a future plumbing concern, so they can handle the matter right away before it could cause serious damage.

Damp, musty smells in the house. I know the vapor barrier in the crawl space is not covering all the bare earth under the house. We had some rodent issues in the past, but that may be resolved.
I want some professional advice on how to proceed and likely need the VB issues resolved.

Water under crawl space
Vicinity of in Bothell
We have a sump pump in a pit. It works great as long as there is power. We have a generator for backup. We have a shallow pit in the outdoor stairway with a portable intelligent pump and a hose. We have a box-store dehumidifier in the crawl space and in the basement finished area. We do ok until we get the 1-2 inches of rain in a day, then we have a great deal of water to deal with. We would like to find out what our options would be to make a better system that isn't in such need of babysitting during the rainy winter months.
