An Energy Efficiency Inspection revealed a large amount of standing water in the crawlspace both above and below the installled moisture barrier. Winter Sun constructed a grassed swale, or drainage ditch, to direct water away from the home.

"The handrails are beautiful!!! We get so many compliments on them. You were great to work with and created a work of art for our home."
