Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawlspace was holding moisture, causing a mildew smell inside the home. Our crew cleaned out the debris and installed our full encapsulation system. We also sealed off all the vents to keep the outside air, outside. Our sump pump and dehumidifier will keep it dry, clearing out the musty smell. This is the only way to truly rid your crawlspace of smells and moisture. 

This is the crawlspace of a beautiful home located in Columbus, MS. This customer was dealing with water damage from a busted pipe. We came in and installed a full encapsulation system to prevent any further water damage. To help with the pre-existing water damage we installed a dehumidifier to dry out moisture and keep from future wood rot. 

There once was an attempt made by these homeowners to do something about the moisture problem under their home. Many people will recommend just a standard crawl space vapor barrier, a sheet of plastic laid on the floor of the crawl space to supposedly prevent the entry of any moisture. Since they ended up reaching out to us anyways, this solution clearly did not work for these homeowners! As you can see in the before image, this thin barrier ended up tossed around the crawl space, dirty, torn, and full of exposed areas for moisture to still make its way into the underside of the home. They needed a more permanent solution, and luckily we were able to provide just that! The new barrier you see in the after image is our CleanSpace Liner. It is much thicker, more durable, and securely fastened throughout the entire crawlspace, walls and supports included! Underneath is a dimple pattern, which helps lead water to the products that combine with our CleanSpace Liner, such as our sump pump system. This sump pump, the liner, and our crawl space dehumidifier come together to create the encapsulation system, an unbeatable defense against all forms of moisture. This shield against seepage, intrusion, and humidity is something you simply cannot get from a standard vapor barrier.

This vented crawlspace was experiencing humidity problems, causing the floors to swell. There was also a musty smell lingering after water would get inside. Our crew closed off all the vents, preventing outside air from carrying in moisture, and sealed off the rest of the area to keep any future water problems from arising permanently. 

The underside of this home was far too humid and it was obvious that if left alone, moisture damage was soon to come. In order to help prevent this, our team was sent out to design and install one of our encapsulation systems. This system involves sealing off the crawl space and turning it into a regulated, dry environment completely separate from the outside. A large part of this process is our CleanSpace Liner. This liner isn't just laid in the crawl space, it is secured to the floor, walls, and supports of the crawl space, and its much higher durability sets it apart from your standard vapor barrier. Take a look at the provided pictures and check out the huge difference it makes!
