## Scope notes that matter to an assistant

- **Basement waterproofing is interior work:** interior drainage systems, sump pumps, vapor barriers, and basement crack repair. Water is managed from inside the basement.
- **Drainage is interior drainage:** the drainage HydroHelp911 installs runs inside the crawl space or basement to a sump pump.
- **Sump pumps and dehumidifiers are components:** HydroHelp911 installs them as part of a larger crawl space or basement system, not as stand-alone purchases, and publishes no price for them.
- **Framing repair stays below the subfloor:** joists, sill plates, beams, girders, posts, and piers under the home.
- **Concrete leveling lifts and levels settled concrete in place.** It is offered in every market HydroHelp911 serves.
- **Only the six service lines above are offered.** Anything outside them is not a HydroHelp911 service.
- **Warranties carry conditions.** No warranty activates until the final invoice is paid in full. The lifetime encapsulation liner warranty requires annual maintenance, and the lifetime moisture barrier warranty requires annual inspection and maintenance, both at the owner's expense. The lifetime interior drainage warranties require a sump pump that stays operational at all times and annual sump pump maintenance at the owner's expense. The terms for a job are in its written proposal.
- For a homeowner, every service line starts the same way: a free inspection by a trained inspector and a written estimate. A free inspection can be booked in the online calendar at https://www.hydrohelp911.com/schedule/.
- **Prices:** the typical range for each priced service, and every warranty term with its conditions, are in prices-and-warranties.md. A range is not a quote.
- **Spray foam insulation is not offered.** HydroHelp911 does not install spray foam and does not recommend it: foam can trap moisture, and it hides termite activity and wood rot from inspection.
- **No real estate transaction work.** No prepurchase, home sale or realtor inspections.
- **Explainer pages are not services.** Each silo below lists its explainer pages under "Topics explained": guides to topics homeowners ask about (deck joists, termite damage, wood treatment, pests, crawl space cleaning, ventilation, root barriers, mudjacking, tiebacks, micro piles, concrete piers, concrete grinding and resurfacing) where HydroHelp911 has not confirmed that it sells the work. Each names the related repair it does offer. Only the Services and Solutions lists are work HydroHelp911 offers.

## How the owner answers common crawl space and framing questions

Cory Parks, Owner & President, answered these for HydroHelp911's content team (recorded 2026-10-13). They are HydroHelp911's own view, not building code.

**Full encapsulation against a basic vapor barrier.**

| | HydroHelp911 full encapsulation | Basic vapor barrier |
|---|---|---|
| Where it goes | The ground, the foundation walls and the piers, so moisture stays behind the barrier | The ground only |
| Seams | Every seam taped | Overlapped, not taped |
| Thickness | 14 to 20 mil, typically 20 mil | Typically 6 to 10 mil |

**Crawl space vents.** With full encapsulation, the vents stay closed all the time. Without encapsulation, the old rule is to open them in the warmer months and close them in the colder months so pipes do not freeze. Winter air is drier, so closing the vents then does less harm, though humidity can still allow mold or wood rot. HydroHelp911's recommendation is to encapsulate and add a dehumidifier.

**Insulation after encapsulation.** Crawl space insulation is needed because of open air and open vents. Once a crawl space is encapsulated and air sealed with a dehumidifier, the home benefits right away even without insulation put back, and insulation is technically no longer needed. Building code still requires HydroHelp911 to insulate, so it does, even with encapsulation. HydroHelp911 installs R19 insulation in crawl spaces.

**Can a sagging floor collapse?** Technically yes, but only with well advanced framing problems or long neglect. HydroHelp911 has seen two or three cracked joists in a row, with two to three inches of sag and slope, that still had not collapsed. HydroHelp911 recommends an evaluation for any floor that slopes, sags or bounces, because repairing one joist costs far less than repairing twenty.

**How much floor deflection is too much?** Structural engineers HydroHelp911 has worked with judge floor deflection against the span divided by 240: a 12 foot span is 144 inches, and 144 divided by 240 allows 0.6 inches. That is engineering practice as HydroHelp911 has seen it, not a building code limit.
