Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

When a neglected area such as a crawl space gets water intrusion, it can create moisture that leads to mold and mildew growth. This will begin to affect the air quality in the home, damage the fiberglass insulation and create wood rot, damaging the structural integrity of the home. During this crawl space inspection we found mold on the subfloor and had the right solution in mind. Soda Blasting is an eco-friendly way to remove mold. This process uses compressed air to spray sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and physically removes the mold and deodorizes the surfaces, leaving the subfloor clean and free of mold without causing any structural damage. Before installing the full encapsulation that this crawl space needed, we properly seal off the crawl space from the home to prevent baking soda from going up into the home and we then use our soda blasting machine to spray the areas with mold until it is looking brand new. Now that this mold is removed, we can then install our full encapsulation that will help in protecting this crawl space from any future mold growth. 

This customer called because they had a musty smell coming into their home from their crawlspace. The crawlspace was dusty, had some moisture on the vapor barrier, and had a strong musty smell. Our crews went in and encapsulated the crawlspace using our CleanSpace Vapor barrier. It is 20 mils thick and is rip resistant to keep animals and bugs out. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help keep the moisture out of the crawlspace and filter the air. After encapsulating the crawlspace the homeowner was so relieved that they didn't have a musty smell coming into their home. 

The customer called due to concerns on a small vapor barrier covered crawl space in the basement. There were a very strong musty smell and moldy shelves that were next to it, which were also raising red flags. We encapsulated the small crawl space and got a dehumidifier down in the daylight basement to regulate any unforeseen future humidity problems. 

Constant water exposure to high levels of water in this crawlspace had led to excess dirt and mud, which had covered up multiple foundational post footings. Because of this water was able to sit against the wooden beams, leading to wood rot and mold. For this job we ended up replacing sixteen wooden posts with out SmartJack solution while we also did a crawlspace encapsulation to protect the home from any more water damage.
