MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

In Chunky, MS, the homeowner was troubled by a consistently damp and unprotected crawl space, evident in the before photo. This space was, like many, battling moisture issues that could lead to wood rot, mold, and higher energy bills. We transformed this environment using our top-tier CleanSpace system, high-performance Drainage Matting, and the reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump. As shown in the after photo, this combination effectively safeguards homes with unparalleled moisture protection. Our thorough repair and encapsulation solutions leave your space dry, clean, and much healthier for years to come.

These two before and after images really showcase the upgrade that the CleanSpace Liner is, compared to a regular vapor barrier. We come across many crawl spaces where vapor barriers had originally been lazily thrown onto the dirt floor, resulting in a pulled away, torn, dirty mess of plastic once we arrived. The CleanSpace Liner, as you can see in the after image, is tightly secured not only to the floor of the crawl space, but to the walls, supports, and around all odd steps and curves. The CleanSpace Liner is also much thicker and durable than the average liner, meaning better protection over more surface area!

In these two photos, you will find two different vapor barriers underneath the same home. The first, is a standard, flimsy barrier that obviously did not hold up very well. You'll find barriers like these under many homes, and they are unfortunately not really doing much to prevent moisture or humidity. Even with the barrier, this home was still dealing with a damp crawlspace and buckling floors. The second, is our heavy-duty 20-mil CleanSpace Liner that we installed under the home. This durable barrier lines the ground, walls, and supports and permanently separates the crawlspace from the ground. This is one part of our encapsulation system, designed to keep homes like this one, safe from moisture.

This homeowner discovered some water damage on his joists, causing needed concern for the stability of his floors. The water damage wasn't a surprise, as this crawl space had been left completely exposed and unprotected against moisture. Fortunately, our team came with the perfect solution. Our encapsulation system will cover moisture from every direction and every shape it comes in. The bright white barrier you see is our durable CleanSpace Liner, which helps separate the crawl space from the moist ground and outside air. For the humid air, our crawl space dehumidifier will continuously regulate things and keep the underside of the home at a safe level of humidity. A sump pump system is also installed, which collects water intrusion, water from the ground and from the sump pump, to be sent away from the crawl space. The floors of this home have never been safer!

This actually isn't the first crawl space we have worked on for this family! The owner of this home reached out to us to see what could be done for the underside of his home after we encapsulated his father's crawl space. Both homes were seeing similar issues, including standing water, high humidity, and mold. This crawl space actually already had a vapor barrier installed as a way to try to protect against moisture, but as you can see in the before photo, it wasn't doing the greatest job. Our crew came in and replaced this barrier with our CleanSpace Liner, a much thicker liner that is secured to every part of the crawl space, walls and supports included. To reduce humidity, they removed all the soaked insulation, made the crawl space air tight, and installed a dehumidifier. Local moisture from the ground, and water that may somehow find its way into the crawl space, is collected with our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, and send out of the underside of the home. Both homes are now as protected as they can get against dangerous moisture, and mold has no moist areas to thrive. This crawl space was inspected by our system design specialist, Andrew, and the encapsulation was installed by one of our foremen, Noah. Great job team!
