Approved Basement Waterproofing & Sump Pump Installation in Greenbank, WA

Scott and Katie had a problem in their crawl space in Greenbank, WA. The old homeowners didn't take care of a rodent issue, so they called pest control to fix it. There was still a bad smell lingering from the past rodent activity. They needed to get their crawl space cleaned out and turned into a better space, so they asked Rainy Day for help. We inspected the crawl space and suggested they clean it all out and put in new waterproof insulation, drainage matting, and encapsulation system. We also added a dehumidifier. Scott and Katie were elated the work Rainy Day did and thanked us for doing a great job.

Cris was concerned about the state of the crawl space in their home in Greenbank, WA and decided to have a general inspection. To ensure that the crawl space was fully protected, we recommended a cleanout and installation of CleanSpace. With this system in place, Cris would be able to enjoy a cleaner, drier, and healthier crawl space, and be confident that their home is protected from the effects of moisture and humidity. We're glad to have been able to provide Cris with a solution to improve the condition of their home and protect their investment.

Kathy and Kris live in a farmhouse in Greenbank that was built over one hundred years ago. Their crawl space was lacking insulation in the floor joists, the vapor barrier was well weathered and proving to be ineffective. They were becoming more concerned about their “wonky” crawl space, as they were starting to notice musty odors throughout all levels of their home.

Kathy and Kris opted for the best sump pump around, the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe provides homeowners the most protection by incorporating three pumps in one, including a battery backup system made specifically for worst-case scenarios, like a power outage. We then used our extremely durable CleanSpace Crawl Space Lining to encapsulate the space. Because the lining is 20 mm thick, it is much more effective at reducing moisture and humidity levels than the minimum requirement 6 mils. barriers. In addition, CleanSpace is strong enough to be fastened directly to the foundation walls. It won’t ever tear down or shift around, keeping the space clean and the air dry. Kathy and Kris can be sure that damaging moisture vapors and musty odors are a thing of their past.

Barry and Constance own a manufactured home with a permanent foundation. Recently, a pipe broke in their crawl space and made a great mess of the blown insulation and of the space in general. They hired someone to remove the previous insulation and the road barrier and were looking for new possibilities with their crawl space. Barry had heard about Rainy Day Basement Systems and their crawl space encapsulation system, he was drawn to the fact that with the system he would not have to re-install new insulation.

Instead, Rainy Day was able to isolate Barry and Constance’s crawl space, leaving no reason for insulation. Using CleanSpace, an antimicrobial lining, they were able to separate the space, and ultimately the home, completely from the earth below. This greatly reduces moisture from entering the space and the opportunity mold and mildew growth. To further the control of moisture, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier equipped with automatic drain was installed. Finally, an EverLast CrawlSpace Door was added to finish off encapsulation process. The EverLast doors are made of durable inorganic material, they are waterproof, resistant to mold and have a heavy weather seal strip to effectively seal off outside air.

Barry and Constance now have a moisture-free crawl space they won’t have to worry about and Rainy day is pleased to have been a part of their positive outcome.
