MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

Cracks in concrete feel inevitable, which makes them also feel like not that big of a deal. Once it begins though, if left unattended, it opens the door for further and further seepage, erosion, and of course more cracking. This homeowner wasn't too bothered by the cracking on his pool patio at first, but as you can see, it started to spread and get out of hand. Fortunately, we were able to get one of our knowledgable design specialist out to his home to teach him about NexusPro. These images allow you to see where all we used NexusPro, revealing just how bad the cracks had gotten. All sealed up, natural and pool water no longer has an entry to sneak between the slab and cause major risks of erosion or settlement. 

This concrete sidewalk looked fine on the exterior, but beneath the surface it was hiding massive and dangerous voids. You can see in the before image just how far our concrete foremen was able to fit his leg into one of the voids. If this was allowed to be left how it was, serious cracking or settlement was destined to occur. Fortunately, our concrete crew brought out PolyLevel and NexusPro systems to ensure that won't be a worry. In the after image, you can see a bit of the PolyFoam used in our PolyLevel system. The entire underside of this sidewalk and its voids have been injected with this expanding foam, leaving no room for settlement. The cracks and breakage that had already occurred, were sealed with NexusPro, our UV-resistant and flexible sealant, to make sure moisture has no more easy access under the concrete where it can continue the erosion. We are proud of our concrete crew and hope this sidewalk continues to be safely used for a long time.

We were able to restore this concrete driveway with the help of two top-of-the-line products, NexusPro and PolyFoam. The expanding PolyFoam allows us to discreetly fill voids under the slab and bring it back to level. In order to prevent even more settlement, the cracks that allowed water to flow under the slab need to be taken care of. This is where NexusPro comes in. This durable sealant is made to be weather and UV resistant, making sure it holds up in the toughest weather conditions. Combined, this driveway is in a safer condition than when it was originally poured!

Water puddling under the home is never a good sign about the health of your crawlspace. This customer called to schedule an estimate on what it would take to fix it. Rick Killingsworth performed her inspection and was able to present to her the value of our encapsulation. Not only does it prevent musty smells and mold from forming, but because it insulates the crawlspace as well, it will save $$ in the long run on energy bills.

Hearing about our company on the radio, this Summit Mississippi homeowner gave us a call about his crawlspace. He had vent fans in his crawlspace and was having severe mold and moisture issues; so much so that his sub floor was rotting out below him. Melissa Johnson performed the initial inspection and gave him a free quote on what our solution would be. In the many years we've been fixing crawlspaces, we've found that ventilation is root cause for moisture. Allowing outside air to penetrate under the house causes it to get trapped and build up. This moisture will latch on to anything that will hold it, especially wood. Unfortunately this means the joists and subfloor. Once it has enough moisture buildup, mold will start to grow. If not treated immediately and properly, mold will rapidly take over and create musty smells in your home and concurrently rot out any wood in the crawlspace. 

Before we began work, we treated the mold with our powerful Mold-X2 spray. This rids the wood of mold in seconds. Not only will it benefit your crawlspace, but it allows our crew to work in a safer environment. Our solution is to treat your crawlspace like you would the inside of your home. We seal up all the vents and wrap the crawlspace in our 20 mil CleanSpace liner to create a moisture barrier from the outside air. We also add a sump pump in the ground to collect ground water moisture that moves under the liner. This will automatically pump it out and away from the crawlspace. Finishing the system, we install a dehumidifier to regulate the humidity under the house.
