Henry Bennett was called to look at this home in Vicksburg, Mississippi. They had insulation stuffed right up under the floor joists. Large amounts were already falling due to holding moisture. While intentions are good with crawlspace insulation, it's never a good idea. Having something so close to wood that is able to hold moisture will inevitably, hold moisture. As we all know know moisture + wood = rot.
When we install a job, we always remove this troublesome insulation. Not only does our system keep the crawlspace dry and free of high humidity, but completely sealing off the crawlspace will in turn, insulate it. We have a testimonial from a customer who checked his crawlspace during the ice storm, and the temp reading from under the house was as close as 3-5º similar the house temperature. Amazing, right?

This image displays one of our sump pumps installed in a customer's home who dealt with regular moisture and water intrusion issues. The Sump is strategically placed in the lowest point of the crawlspace where water is most likely to head towards. Underneath our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, drainage matting helps guide ground moisture to the sump, while water that may leak in from the walls is collected and guided to the sump by our perimeter drainage system. To prevent failure, the sump even includes a battery-powered back-up pump, in the case of heavy storms and power outages. This customer is safely covered against all cases of water intrusion!
Encapsulation in Forest, MS
After several attempts and various different methods, this homeowner could still not find a permanent way to combat the moisture finding its way into his crawlspace. The problems he was trying to get rid of were slowly getting worse and he needed to figure out what to do, quick. Placing fans under homes or increasing the number of vents leading to the crawlspace have been thought by many to be good solutions, but they usually escalate and further aggravate the issues. The solution we proposed to this homeowner was the one that finally handled his problem: our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This system is designed to tackle moisture from its multiple ways of entering under your home. This includes humidity, which is kept at a manageable percentage with our crawlspace dehumidifier. Originally the customer only wanted the worst section of his crawlspace taken care of, but went with the option of encapsulating the entire crawlspace. Now the underside of his home is dry, clean, and problem-free.
Sidewalk Settlement in Vicksburg, MS
The concrete sidewalk on the side of this home had dropped a considerable amount over the years and had started to pose a serious tripping hazard for the homeowners. They reached out to us, hoping we could offer a solution before anyone ended up getting hurt. With PolyLevel, we'll be able to restore the sidewalk back to it's original position and completely remove that hazard. Voids under the concrete are causing the sinking, and PolyLevel is what we will use to fill them. The foam very quickly begins it's expansion, completely filling up the empty space and even strengthening the surrounding soil. Within a very short period, this sidewalk will be able to continue doing it's job properly and it can be used without fear of tripping.
Crawl Space Moisture and Smell in Vicksburg, MS
These homeowners knew they were dealing with moisture and humidity problems under their home, but when mildew started to appear and causing a smell throughout their house, they knew they had to get something done. We were luckily able to handle both those problems with our encapsulation system. We eliminate these issues by stopping water intrusion with a crawlspace sump pump system, preventing moisture seepage with a heavy duty CleanSpace Liner, and by conditioning the crawlspace air with a dehumidifier that was designed specifically with crawlspaces in mind. After each of these steps, these homeowners were left with a clean, safe, and less smelly home.

I'm having a problem with the foundation of my house. The walls are pulling away from the ceiling. I have a brick exterior wooden floors. Researching the best company and or price
Project Location: Vicksburg, MS
Our garage is below ground level and has some small cracks in the brick wall. It looks like there are some leaks coming through the wall I can't really tell. I was hoping for these to be repaired by fixing the interior. There are not huge gaps but I can see in three places it normally gathers water. I was wondering how much it would typically cost to fix my situation. Thanks!

I'm not looking for a full encapsulation, but I do have high humidity in my crawlspace. 99% this past summer. I do have some wood rot fungus growing and I need to get it soda blasted, moister barrier laid down, and somewhat dried out. I'm not planning on staying in this house more than 2-3 more years. I installed central air in 2009 and that's when my trouble started. I have a old 1948 built house. Crawl space isn't to low to the ground, I would say the lowest is 3-4 feet. Need someone to come out and give it a look.
