Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Though there was plastic sheeting down in parts of the crawlspace, this home in Kokomo was still having moisture issues with their crawlspace. As we commonly see, the moisture was causing their floors to buckle inside the home. Thankfully, they called our office and we were able to help them come up with a personalized solution for the issue!

Melissa Johnson was the rep for this home, and walked them through the process of encapsulation. They decided it was their best option and had it installed! We removed the plastic sheeting as it holds and traps water droplets, causing mold and musty smells. Our system will eliminate these smells and helps the crawlspace stay clean and dry. Once the moisture is gone, the floors usually settle down as they dry out.

This family inherited this home and was alerted to some potential issues when they noticed a faint mildew smell from inside the home. After getting in touch with us and setting up an appointment, we sent one of our design specialists out to take a thorough look at the underside of the home. As expected, moisture was found and it presented a future upcoming issue, if it was bad enough to smell, that means the next common issues, such as buckling floors, could be next. In order to prevent this and take care of the current problems, the owners were introduced to the encapsulation system. Combining the powers of a energy-efficient dehumidification system, a powerful sump pump, and the best vapor barrier you can find, the encapsulation system makes sure that moisture is tackled from every angle. Check out the before and after image below taken from this crawl space, our CleanSpace Liner completely transforms the space, more than just visually! The floor, walls, and supports of the crawl space are all securely fastened with this Liner, offering massive protection along with the other components. Next time they enter the home, it will be smell-free!

This is the crawlspace of a home located in Kosciusko, MS. These customers had standing water in theor crawlspace, as well as high humidity under and within their home. 

This home was experiencing water intrusion in the crawlspace, causing pooling in a corner under the home. It was constantly damp leaving musty smells and frustrated homeowners. 

Not only do we install our exclusive CleanSpace liner in every crawlspace we encapsulate, but we preface it with drainage matting underneath. Drainage matting prevents abrasion holes in the CleanSpace liner, provides a drainage space, and the airspace is a thermal break between the cold earth and the CleanSpace. This break raises the temperature of the liner more towards the indoor temperature, not the earth temperature, meaning it keeps the crawlspace very close to the temperature inside your home. Not only does our system keep the space under your house clean and dry, it also insulates it! That's a WIN-WIN!

Here is one of the muddy and messy crawlspaces that we were able to transform into a dry, clean space. Even though crawlspaces are typically out of sight, the condition of the underside of your home has the chance of negatively affecting your home. The moist air that enters crawlspaces will make its way upwards and could potentially damage your floors, like was seen in this case. The homeowners wanted to prevent their floors from buckling again in the future, and an Encapsulation is our permanent solution. The white liner you can see on the ground is our heavy-duty Cleanspace Liner, it will prevent moisture from making its way into the crawlspace. Under the liner is our Drainage Matting, shaped to help guide water toward one of our installed sump pumps, that will send water outside of the home. With all this combined, the result is a dry crawlspace and a safe home.
