Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

These two images show the drastic difference that our company was able to make on this crawlspace. You can see our durable CleanSpace liner, our crawlspace dehumidifier, and our sump pump system all placed within the crawlspace. Each component is fighting to combat moisture and protect this crawlspace, and the rest of the home, from any future damage.

Henry Bennett was called to look at this home in Vicksburg, Mississippi. They had insulation stuffed right up under the floor joists. Large amounts were already falling due to holding moisture. While intentions are good with crawlspace insulation, it's never a good idea. Having something so close to wood that is able to hold moisture will inevitably, hold moisture. As we all know know moisture + wood = rot. 

When we install a job, we always remove this troublesome insulation. Not only does our system keep the crawlspace dry and free of high humidity, but completely sealing off the crawlspace will in turn, insulate it. We have a testimonial from a customer who checked his crawlspace during the ice storm, and the temp reading from under the house was as close as 3-5º similar the house temperature. Amazing, right?

Lumberkote will help keep mold and moisture away and is non-toxic.

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.

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.
