Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner was placing their home on the market and found evidence of water in their crawl space. They were worried about the possible damage caused, and how it could affect the sale. When water enters a crawl space, it causes many issues for the entire home. This includes structural damage to the home and dampness, which then creates an inviting environment for mold and mildew, and attracts unwanted rodents and pests. Getting the crawl space transformed will raise the value and stability of the home. The homeowner called John's Waterproofing so we could find them a proper solution. We sent one of our system design specialists out to perform a free estimate and inspection. They met after the inspection and went over solutions for this wet crawl space. They agreed that encapsulating was the way to go. To start this project, our team goes in and removes all the old damaged fiberglass insulation and old vapor barrier. Next, our team installs our SmartJacks, which are our high capacity adjustable supplemental steel piers designed to stop settling and raise up the floor. Our team then digs a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space to lay down a perforated pipe into a silt sock to ensure the water has a safe passage to drain to both the TripleSafe and SuperSump Plus. Next a discharge line is installed outside to drain the water away from the foundation. Then, our team installs our EverLast Door, this provides exterior access to the crawl space. Our TerraBlock was then installed directly onto the floor of this crawl space creating an insulated barrier between the home and earth. Our team then installs our CleanSpace system on top of the TerraBlock, and on the foundation walls up to the rim joists. All the vents are then sealed in this crawl space to prevent outside air from coming in. The goal is to control the environment, so our team than installs our SaniDry Sedona, which is our efficient dehumidifier that will effectively eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air. This will keep the home at a relative humidity of 55%. This dehumidifier promotes healthier air for the entire home. Lastly, to finish this encapsulation, we spray our foam insulation along the foundation walls and up to the rim joists to create an air tight seal, ensuring this crawl space will be protected from water and ready for the new homeowners. 

This crawlspace had standing water throughout the whole space, making it a muddy mess. We came in and dried it out and installed CleanSpace, a smartsump sump pump, a sanidry dehumidifier and added spray foam insulation for added energy efficiency. This homeowner will now have a dry crawlspace while saving money on energy costs for years to come.

From nasty to clean and inviting crawlspace. This home gets a full transformation with our Crawlspace Encapsulation. 

This homes old vapor barrier was caked in dirt and mud. The damp smell was now in the home. To combat this issue we did a full crawlspace encapsulation to have this home be dry and healthy! 

This customer called us when they discovered a water was coming into the crawlspace and causing moisture and mold spores to grow. It was affecting the walls and air of the house. So we sent out one of our inspectors to see what we could do to fix the problem. 

Our inspector went and found standing water in the crawlspace which had started to ruin the old black plastic vapor barrier and create a muddy mess. We did a crawlspace clean out and remove the wet sagging fiberglass insulation. We installed our crawlspace encapsulation system with our Cleanspace vapor barrier that is 20 mil thick and tacks on the walls of the crawlspace while sealing the vents. We also installed a smart sump pump that will pump all water out along with our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will keep all moisture, dust mites, and mold spores clear from the air you breathe in your home. We then used our spray foam insulation around the perimeter of the crawlspace efficiently keeping warm air in and a nicely sealed space. 

The homeowner was so relieved to have us encapsulate her crawlspace and they don't have to worry about water or mold again. They now can relax knowing their family will be breathing clean air in their home.
