Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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.
