Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Customer called for crawlspace needing a cleanup 

In your crawl space, we always recommend the healthiest option for your home and that is a crawl space encapsulation system. We know that sometimes that just doesn't work out for the homeowner. Having a vapor barrier is essential in protecting your home so when we went in this crawl space and saw no vapor barrier we knew we needed to get one in there. Our crew installed a vapor barrier and sump pump to help keep this crawl space dry and protected. 

This homeowner called us due to his crawl space having a weird smell. They used their crawl space for storage and was starting to dread going down there. The homeowner called us and our design specialist recommended a crawl space encapsulation. Our crew installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. It is 20 mils thick and has anti-microbial protection to help stop mold growth and moisture getting in the crawl space. The homeowner was so happy because the smell was gone and his crawl space is protected. 

This crawlspace in Portland was dirty, wet, and was degrading the foundation of the home. Our crew installed our patented Cleanspace system and ensured the crawlspace would properly drain and never be an issue again. 

This homes crawl space had been unprotected for years and these homeowners were beginning to notice several issues with the humidity and damp odors entering their home. They were also interested in creating more storage space in their home so they gave John's a call and scheduled their free visit to see what we can do for them. We went out and thoroughly inspected the crawl space and then worked with the homeowner in creating the best game plan for this home.

We begin this project by removing any debris. Then we dig a trench around the interior perimeter of the crawl space in which we place a 3 inch perforated pipe to create a secure passage for water to drain to the low point. At the low point we install our TripleSafe Sump system to collect any water that enters and pump it outside of the home through a discharge line. We make sure then to cover up and seal every vent shut to prevent outside air from entering. Then, to insulate the space we install our TerraBlock system on the dirt floor and our SilverGlo along the foundation walls. Our CleanSpace system is then placed between each footing and wooden post and anchored into the foundation walls. This is all sealed along each seam with our heavy duty CleanSpace tape. Lastly, to keep the environment controlled, we installed our SaniDry Sedona, this helps eliminate damp and musty odors by drying and filtering the air as well as keeps the space at a healthy relative humidity. Now, these homeowners have a clean and protected crawl space that gives them peace of mind and will be used as extra storage.
