Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This customer called about water getting into the crawlspace and wanting to look into options to waterproof. We went out and replaced the crawl space access well to give better protection and more durability. Before it was a short access that could rust and had a dirt bottom. The door was not properly sealed shut and left the crawl space vulnerable to water, leaves, and pests. The EverLast system is made with long-lasting materials that will never rust, corrode, support mold growth, or rot. No ugly eyesore in your yard. It is finished with river rock to avoid puddling and mud against your foundation. The customer was pleased with how well it blended with the landscape and knowing it was going to last the life of the house. 

The Homeowner was constantly battling with a musty smell in her home. No matter what she did, or cleaner she used, the smell just wouldn't go away. When she heard John talk about musty smells possibly coming from your crawlspace she called us out to investigate. Sure enough that was where Janine's problem began. The relative humidity in Janine's crawlspace was 70% (it is relative humidity that leads to moisture and unwanted smells) and the dank air filled the room. We encapsulated her crawlspace, installed a dehumidifier and solved Janine's problem. Now the air in her house is clean and she is saving every month on her heating and cooling. 

Thermaldry Baesment Wall System helps protect against moisture and reflects heat back into the basement.

Unknown to this homeowner every time it would rain the water was leaking into their crawlspace. The standing water was raising the humidity in the crawlspace creating mold and causing their fiberglass insulation to sag. When our inspector went out the biggest problem that was being caused for them was their wooden posts were rotting due to the water damage. Our inspector suggested doing a post-replacement with our SmartJack. Our Smart Jack is a steel adjustable pier that stops settling and won't rot, shift, or settle. 

This was a returning customer that had decided to move forward with also getting a crawlspace encapsulation system. Our crew went out and installed our CleanSpace 20 mil vapor barrier that is used to seal the crawlspace. We make sure it is a complete seal by sliding the vapor barrier under the post and completely isolating.  We also did a mold treatment on the wood where the old sagging insulation had been collecting and holding moisture. This homeowner was so relieved to have a dry clean crawlspace and knowing his family will now be breathing clean air.
