"Swamp Monster!"
This home was a 1980's bungalow with a full basement that had a crawlspace below. The homeowners complained of horrible odors and mold issues to the point where the rotted subfloor and some floor joists had to be removed and replaced. Upon inspection, the builder had put weeping tile around the exterior footing as required but then tee'd the line into the crawlspace attaching only a filtered sock weeping tile to the interior. Whenever any water was picked up from the exterior weeping tile, it was drained and dumped into the soil in the crawlspace! There was no solid pipe to the sump or sewer! It made a spectacular SWAMP in the homeowners crawlspace! See BEFORE picture.
Basement Systems Saskatchewan repaired the home by attaching a solid drain pipe from the weeping tile tee staight to the sump pump. Many yards of crushed rock were hauled in to firm up the soil and create the ability for water to travel to the sump pump without removing soil. CleanSpace Crawlspace wrap encapsulated the soil totally and our industrial sized dehumidifier took care of the humidity so no more rotting floors. The difference in the home's air quality was instantly noticeable. See AFTER picture.
