Challenge

The customer called us in because they had a very wet and smelly crawlspace and they were worried about the home loosing value. Also we had restricted access.

Solution

We installed a The Turtle to get access from the outside of the home to the Crawlspace.

Then we installed Drainage Matting and CleanSpace to control the earth moisture. And then we installed 2 SmartSumps and SmartPipe to control the gound water.

They have had not further problems with there CrawlSpace and are now able to sell there home and move on.
