This Killington, Vermont home had limited access to the crawl space making it challenging to keep the space clean and dry. Our team proposed and installed an EverLast™ Crawl Space Access Well System in addition to interior crawlspace repair and waterproofing solutions to keep the space clean and dry and improve accessibility to the crawl space.

This well is made of heavy-gauge, durable polyethylene that won't rust or rot like traditional wells and is mold resistant. Additionally, this well-system is complete with clean stone and a cover to prevent water from entering the crawl space or puddling in the well. This is the ideal solution to gain better access to most crawlspaces.
