MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

Here is a photo of the state of this homeowner's crawlspace when our design specialist, Corey, first did his initial inspection and estimate. Its your typical messy crawlspace with a moist ground floor. This moisture was playing a large part in the sinking floor problem the homeowner reached out to us about. In the second image, you can see the crawlspace after Corey designed a system for the home and one of our talented production crews made it a reality. The mess is gone, and more importantly, the moisture will no longer be a problem. The white CleanSpace liner you see all throughout the crawlspace is acting as a barrier,  keeping out ground water seepage. Unseen in the images, is our energy efficient crawlspace dehumidifier and our perimeter drainage system. Both working alongside the CleanSpace vapor barrier to stop moisture, water, and humidity from affecting this home.

Our foundation repair crew's main goal is to first stabilize the home, always in the safest manner. We do not want to push the home further than we should and create more damage. Sometimes in the process of stabilizing, we are able to achieve some lift. You'll notice in these two images that the crack between the window and the wall has shrunk, and the separation in the brick has gotten closer. The most important part, preventing further settlement was achieved, and we are happy to see we could help with some of the cracking as well!

Sometimes you can't see that there are issues under your home, you have to smell them. When moldy/musty smells were coming up from this homeowner's floors, they figured that there must be something going on their crawl space. They reached out to us, and we sent one of our design specialists out to go find the culprit. This crawl space had been left exposed and unattended to for a good while, letting moisture and humidity problems continue to grow. In a damp environment like this, mold is able to thrive, which can lead to these smells and eventually much worse damage. Our design specialist was not only able to find the cause, but also a solution - our encapsulation system. By sealing off the space and wrapping the floors and walls of the space in our CleanSpace Liner, along with installing our crawl space dehumidifier and sump pump system, we are able to condition this space and turn it into a shield against moisture. It is a massive upgrade that will not only handle the annoying smell, but prevent any issues that may have been on their way.

At a height of right over two feet, this crawlspace was holding moisture due to visqueen being put over the ground. This plastic, because it's not sealed off and air tight, ends up hurting the crawlspace more than helping it. It traps water under the plastic and creates musty smells that may not have been there before. Melissa Johnson inspected this crawlspace and proposed our well tested solution. We were able to remove the visqueen and apply our encapsulation system to the crawlspace. We do this by cleaning out the crawlspace, installing a sump pump, drainage matting, CleanSpace liner on top of the matting and sealing it off around each wall of the crawlspace, and putting a dehumidifier in on top of it. These products work together to keep moisture out and dry air in. 

We can never get enough of seeing dirt crawlspaces transformed into clean and protected areas. Here is an example from one of our customers in Yazoo City. The damp, dirt floor is now covered with out durable CleanSpace Liner. This will work in combination with our Crawlspace Dehumidifier to make sure the underside of this home stays dry and ready to combat all forms of moisture.
