Our Mission
Simple: Provide outstanding service to our Customers, with honest and effective solutions by determining the right application for their needs with means and measures of science based on 3 main principles…
1. Crawl Space Health and Human Health Are Connected
Crawl space health is directly related to human & pet health. The fiscal cost implications associated with respiratory & health disparities are likely 3Xs higher than that of the service & repair sector materials & labor! The collective collateral damage of contemporary crawl space floodproofing methods is costing humans much more than 6 billion annually in home repairs. According to the American Lung Association, and numerous international and independent reports, the crawl space has also become a significant source of chronic health and respiratory issues, costing likely 3Xs that of the service sector. With instant access to empirical data via AI, homeowners can now research and instantly understand the dynamics to best determine a solution.
2. Groundwater Intrusions: The #1 Crawl Space Threat
High RH is NOT Crawl Space Enemy #1, GROUNDWATER INTRUSIONS are. Moisture vapors from groundwater intrusions can be easily managed by installing the moisture barrier in a way that protects the hygroscopic products that are above soaking up the moisture vapor. Nobody wants water under their house, but what you really don’t want is water in the air under your house; that is what soaks into the wood. When you explore how water gets into the crawl, there are only a handful of ways. Groundwater intrusions are the primary means and are the #1 reason for crawl space destruction. The Floating Moisture Barrier is the only solution on the planet that allows for minor flooding, accommodates heavy rains, and protects the crawl space when the power goes out.
3. Why Drainage Systems Fail and Foundations Suffer
The movement of groundwater ebbing & flowing within the soils under your footings is better for the foundational footings than the extraction of water out with drain systems buried against the footing, disturbing the Rankine passive pressure zones around them. Drainage systems buried against the foundational footings cause “interflow” & “throughflow” under footings, damaging foundations, especially houses with heavy brick veneers. The crawl space has become a financial pitfall costing Americans 6 billion dollars every year in repairs. The residential suburban infrastructure faces the continual threat of decay from the induction of excessive moisture levels in the crawl space due to groundwater intrusions. While the industry is selling treatments for the symptoms of high relative humidity, the Floating Moisture Barrier cures the problem by dealing with its main cause… groundwater intrusions. Like many other sectors, the foundation industry has devolved into a system of treatments that largely ignore the implications of human health. Homeowners searching for answers on what’s best for their home are left to resort to industry “talking heads” educated by their company’s sales fodder.
Contemporary crawl space care methodologies have become expensive and out of reach of the average homeowner, forcing the majority to resort to a cycle of repair or just endure the effects as they watch their home rot and often as their respiratory health worsens. Negative impacts on human health are often chronic and hard to associate with poor crawl space health.
Current market solutions aimed at preventing moisture vapor from accumulating within the crawl space, and how they fail:
- Foundation vents, required by code to allow air exchange. However, fail to provide adequate air exchange volume.
- Moisture barriers, required by code to prevent ground moisture vapors. However, inadequate for subgrade structures, compounds the problem with water on top of the poly
- Dehumidifiers, needed for moisture control. However, inadequate for subgrade structures, often misapplied, and not intended to dry up mud puddles.
- Drain & pump systems. However, inadequate for rainbombs & power outages also PMs greater than pump capacity outflow.
Building codes require foundation vents to prevent the vapors from being trapped. Dehumidifiers are used to remove moisture from the air, drain & pump systems for the removal of excess water to keep it from puddling and getting into the air. Building codes also require moisture barriers for the sake of keeping the water out of the air. Nothing keeps moisture out of the air better than non-exposure.
