Inefficient installation of CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
Breaches in the vapor barrier are circled in this image from a previous waterproofing company. With the vapor barrier compromised, moisture will have a path to enter the crawl space, increasing the chance of mold growth and rotting.
The Repaired CleanSpace Liner
With the help of Dry Guys, the Cleanspace barrier is now flush against the wall, sealing all the breaches in the barrier.

Stone was also added below the liner to direct any water that may enter to the sump pump to be brought out of the home.
The SuperSump Sump Pump System
A SuperSump Sump Pump System was also installed in the crawl space. This pump has a powerful 1/3 horsepower pump and has an optional backup battery to ensure reliability even in the worst of conditions.
Smart Vent Flood Vents
The homeowner also had Smart Vent Flood Vents installed to his home. During a flood, it's better to equalize water pressure than to fight it. Flood vents can help avoid severe foundation damage by allowing floodwaters to pass through foundation walls rather than pounding against them.
