Dry out and source-repair a damp crawlspace or wall base on the 8th Ave S residential blocks near the South Park Community Center, Seattle, WA 98108.

With the gutters now draining correctly, the next honest step is the moisture this block's homes already collected (damp crawlspace soil, staining at the sill plate) before it becomes the mold call nobody wants to make.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

before/after photos + source-fix documentation + drying log + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Photograph the damp area (crawlspace soil, sill-plate staining, musty odor location) and check for an active leak vs standing groundwater.
2. Fix the identified water source: reroute a downspout, regrade a low spot away from the foundation, or seal an obvious gap, hand tools only.
3. Run a fan or dehumidifier to actively dry the area over the visit; wipe down any surface mildew with a mild detergent solution (no bleach fogging).
4. Photograph the dried, source-corrected area and log the moisture-meter reading before and after if a meter is available.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the damp area and identified water source
• After photo of the source correction (regrade, reroute, or seal)
• Drying log (fan/dehumidifier runtime, moisture readings if available)

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Weatherization Readiness. Weatherization readiness is the survey that turns a cold, expensive-to-heat home into a fundable plan. Following the Department of Energy's program, the surveyor maps where the house leaks air, which attics and walls lack insulation, what fresh-air path must follow the tightening, and which safety checks must clear first. Mastery looks like a walkthrough that ends with a package a weatherization crew can price without a second visit. This packet is one piece of one such survey, done carefully and written down, so a real family's real house gets closer to warm.
