Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In Liberty, MS, a homeowner faced a persistent issue in their crawl space. With no moisture protection, an excess of leftover insulation, and general debris in need of a cleanout, they knew it was time for a solution. That's when they decided to reach out to us at Midsouth Crawlspace Solutions for assistance. Once they connected with our Customer Care Specialist, an appointment for a home inspection was quickly set. Our System Design Specialist visited their home, conducted a comprehensive inspection, and carefully diagnosed the issues. Understanding the gravity of excess moisture in crawl spaces, we proposed an effective solution to address their concerns. Our production team then arrived, ready to transform the problem area. We started by cleaning out the old insulation and debris. Next, we installed CleanSpace™ Drainage Matting to create a reliable foundation for effective drainage underfoot. With its dimples and matting, this product ensures water is routed to the perimeter drainage system or the lowest point where the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump can take over. Installing the CleanSpace® encapsulation system further fortified the area, protecting against moisture and potential mold growth. Finally, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump was put into operation, offering the homeowner peace of mind through its triple-layered protection: aiming to withstand high volumes, prevent failures, and ensure functionality during power outages. The outcome? A clean, dry, and safe crawl space providing increased durability and optimized moisture control, long-term protection, and reassurance. Our client in Liberty, MS is now enjoying a foundational improvement that not only solved their initial concerns but is built to prevent future issues. That’s the reliable craftsmanship and expertise we deliver with each project.

This once wet and humid crawl space has been transformed by both our encapsulation and smartjack systems. The CleanSpace Liner you see throughout the whole underside of the home is helping tackle the moisture problem. It is much more durable than your average vapor barrier, and is tightly secured to the walls and floors of the space. Also seen in the photo is one of our smart jacks. These act as a permanent support system for the joists/floors that were already affected by the moisture. They can even be adjusted to fit the home's needs as it shift throughout the years. Unseen in the photo is our crawl space dehumidifier and sump pump system, which both also work towards keeping the space dry and healthy. Great job to our design specialists and crew members who planned and installed this job!

This crawlspace was set right above our 12" benchmark to install an encapsulation. Anything under 12" is too low for our guys and products to get under. 

This house originally had lattice work wrapped around the perimeter of the crawlspace, leaving it susceptible to outside air. Thankfully, the homeowner had this bricked in, in anticipation of the encapsulation. Once this was done, our guys came out and installed our encapsulation system utilizing the sump pump, dehumidifier, drainage matting, and 20 mil liner. Now this crawlspace will be able to dry out without the influence of humidity and ground water seepage.

These before and after images showcase the major change our team was able to make for this crawl space. In the first image you'll see exposed soil, a pulled away and now useless vapor barrier, and plenty of falling/fallen insulation. AKA, a lot of different problems contributing to the moisture issues this homeowner reached out to us about. In the second image, you'll see what looks like a completely different crawl space. The insulation is gone, the old vapor barrier has been disposed of, and now the dirt AND the walls of the crawl space are neatly covered by our drainage matting and CleanSpace Liner. We're very proud of this gorgeous new look, but looks aren't the only benefit that comes with this change. The underside is now completely moisture proofed by our entire encapsulation system, all the different sources of previous moisture issues are being taken care of, making sure this crawl space never ends back up in a rough condition again.

The old, messy vapor barrier you see in the first image just wasn't cutting it for this home and its needs. Despite promising to fight crawl space moisture, the effects still lingered, and this homeowner's floors buckled more and more. They needed a more effective and permanent replacement, and we came with just that! In the second image you can see everything has been replaced with our durable Cleanspace Liner. Not only that, but we've expanded its coverage to the walls and supports of the crawl space as well. Moisture seepage from many different angles has been covered, and with the rest of the encapsulation system in place, these floors have been safer than ever.
