Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Check out this before and after, featuring a once dirty floor acting as the perfect catalyst for crawl space moisture issues, and then our finished crawl space encapsulation! Just the solution this at-risk crawl space was needing.

Moisture in the crawlspace was causing this home's floors to buckle inside the living area. Melissa Johnson, one of our talented Design Specialists, performed the inspection and estimate on this home. 

From our estimate, the customer agreed that this was the best way forward and had the encapsulation put in. We cleaned out any debris and were careful not to disturb the wires, pipes, and other units down in the crawlspace. Now his crawlspace will stay free of moisture and his floors won't buckle or cup again. 

This homeowner reached out to us because their subfloors were swelling with moisture, which had caused their floors to bulge to a dangerous degree. If you take a look at the before picture our team captured, we're sure you may be able to tell why! That old vapor barrier just simply did not stand the test of time. Just a standard vapor barrier already isn't enough to fully protect against moisture, and it didn't help that this was one was torn and almost swallowed in mud/dirt. Lots of areas were still exposed for moisture to create an issue, and we came with the goal in mind to hit each and everyone of those problematic areas. Check out the massive difference our Encapsulation system made!

Moisture in the crawlspace was causing this 1400 square foot home to experience severe musty smells and growing fungi. Corey Becker inspected the crawlspace and found their problem is something we can fix permanently! We sealed off all the vents to the outside, installed a sump pump in the ground to catch the ground water, and totally encapsulated the crawlspace, keeping it safe from moisture and humidity. Finally, we added a dehumidifier that connects to the pump to regulate the air quality. 

In Wesson, MS, an old, wet, and torn vapor barrier spelled trouble with relentless moisture and inadequate protection. Notice in the photo how this issue manifested in a compromised crawl space. Our team at Midsouth Crawlspace Solutions stepped in to handle it. We installed quality Drainage Matting, enhancing water conductivity beneath the CleanSpace system. This innovative solution not only tackles moisture effectively but reinforcements increase durability and comfort. As seen in the after photo, we transformed this space, delivering a clean, dry foundation with our expert touch in crawl space repair and encapsulation.
