The homeowners of this split-level rental property in Kent, WA, value their property as a long-term investment and want to ensure its structural integrity and durability. Concerned about issues with their fireplace, they contacted TerraFirma for professional assistance.

System Design Specialist Richard Cline conducted a thorough evaluation of the property. He identified several foundation cracks exceeding 3 millimeters and a hole on the side of the house caused by water damage, which had contributed to the fireplace settling. While the fireplace repair itself would need to be addressed separately, Richard developed a comprehensive plan to stabilize the foundation and prevent further water damage.

To protect the home, Richard recommended encapsulating the crawl space with VaporLoc Elite and installing a SuperSump Plus, Drain Tile, and Crawl Space Vent Covers to create a moisture-free, sealed environment that would safeguard the property for the long term.

With a detailed plan in place, Foreman Robert Marciniak and his team got to work. They expertly encapsulated the crawl space, removed the old insulation, and installed the recommended waterproofing and drainage systems. These measures ensure that the crawl space remains dry and healthy, keeping their home protected for years to come.
