Diagnosis comes before treatment
What's visible is the smallest part of the job -- a complete plan also addresses the water entry point, humidity, material condition, containment, and verification once work is done.
A complete scope includes
- Existing conditions and likely cause
- Preparation and protection
- Materials, compatibility, and installation details
- Permits, testing, cleanup, and restoration
- Exclusions, warranty terms, and change-order process
Troy context
Homes built during Troy's 1960s-70s subdivision boom commonly sit over crawlspaces built to the vapor-barrier standards of that era, which often fall short of what's needed over Oakland County's poorly drained Blount and Lenawee clay soils -- a common source of recurring crawlspace moisture regardless of how new the house above it looks.
