A damaged or missing vapor barrier is repaired or replaced to control ongoing ground moisture.
A properly functioning sump system prevents the same water problem from recurring.

Equipment for tight clearances is loaded before the crew even leaves.
You'll see the scope and cost once the root cause is confirmed.
Final sign-off includes a joist and structural wood recheck.
