Transforming a Crawl Space: Success!
At One Speed Services, we take immense pride in improving the homes of our clients across the Aurora, OR community. A recent project showcased just how our expertise can transform not only living spaces but also provide peace of mind.
The Challenge: Water Issues in the Crawl Space
When we were contacted by Joni Epstein, she expressed concern over persistent water issues that were affecting her crawl space. It was clear that remediation was necessary, and she needed a professional service that could handle everything from trenching to mold remediation. Joni's crawl space had succumbed to water, which left her feeling uneasy every time it rained.
Upon assessing the situation, we presented Joni with a detailed estimate that included the full scope of work: trenching, the installation of a sump pump, a new vapor barrier, and thorough mold remediation.
The Transformation Process
Our team promptly arrived to tackle the project. As we began work, we evaluated the site conditions further. This diligence paid off; we discovered that some of the originally estimated tasks were unnecessary. By making adjustments to our work plan, we successfully reduced the costs by 35% for Joni.
Hereās a breakdown of what we accomplished:
- Trenching: We created a proper drainage system around the home to divert water away from the crawl space.
- Sump Pump Installation: To combat any potential flooding, we installed a reliable sump pump system.
- New Vapor Barrier: A fresh, durable vapor barrier now protects the crawl space from moisture and mold.
- Mold Remediation: Our specialists meticulously addressed any mold issues already present, ensuring a healthy environment.
The crawl space was too tight for a walkthrough, but we kept Joni in the loop through photos, ensuring she could see our progress. At the end of the project, we also protected the interiors of the house and left the surroundings spotless.
The Result: A Dry, Healthy Crawl Space
Once the project was completed, Joni was thrilled with the transformation. She noted the professionalism of our entire team, as everyoneāfrom the estimator to the work crewāwas prompt, respectful, and communicative.
> āWe now have a dry, clean crawlspace and peace of mind that our water issues have been remediated. Now we can simply sit back and enjoy the sound of the rain on the roof without worry.ā - Joni Epstein
Given the variety of services we offer, Joni plans to return to us for further projects, including attic insulation work that she had put on hold due to her crawl space issues.
Conclusion
This project not only improved the structure of Joni's home but also restored her trust in her living environment. Here at One Speed Services, our commitment to high-quality service and customer satisfaction is what drives us. If youāre facing similar issues or need any home improvement services, donāt hesitate to contact us. Weāre here to ensure your home is safe, clean, and efficient!

During a routine inspection, several issues were identified in her crawl space that needed prompt attention. Our team was ready to jump in and make the necessary transformations.
The Challenge: A Compromised Crawl Space
When Lori first reached out to us, she described the situation with urgency, as her home sale depended on repairs in the crawl space. The inspection revealed contamination issues, requiring immediate containment and remediation.

1. Containment and Removal of Contamination: We carefully sealed off the affected areas and removed all contaminated materials to ensure a safe environment.
2. New Vapor Barrier Installation: Our team installed a high-quality vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping in, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy crawl space.
3. Rodent Exclusion: We implemented measures to prevent future invasions, protecting Loriās home from unwelcome pests.
4. Replacement of Vent Termination: Damaged components were replaced to ensure proper air flow and vent functionality.
5. Vent Wells Installation: We installed vent wells around the entire house, enhancing the ventilation system and ensuring compliance with home safety standards.
Despite the intensive nature of the work, our technicians maintained a tight schedule, ensuring that the job was completed without hindering Lori's home sale.
The Result: A Successful Sale and Happy Customers
The transformation of Lori's crawl space was not just about repairs, but about restoring peace of mind and functionality. As she expressed in her review:
> "Chris and his entire team went above and beyond to accommodate our timeline and made sure their work did not interfere with the sale of our home. We couldnāt be more grateful."
