Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowner Mike is anticipating selling his home in a few years and wants to fix a few things. He noticed his floors were sagging and soft. He also noticed his walls and doors were cracking and sticking. After doing research, he realized his home might have a foundation problem. 

Thrasher came out to his home to inspect the problem. Sheldon Sharp, System Design Specialist, found the main beams in Mike's crawlspace were rotted and had settled over time, which explains why the floor was soft and the walls were pulling away from the ceiling.

He brought our install team to the site to work their magic. They installed three I-beam support sections and jacks to support and push up the floor, which will give them more stability.

Mike is happy with the results and loved how professional and communicative we were through the entire process. 

Look at this transformation! From dirty, musty crawlspace, to a clean, healthy crawlspace. For this project, System Design Specialist, Jeremey Scott, came out to help. This crawlspace was battling a multitude of issues from water, to humidity, and a nasty musty smell that was seeping into the home. To help with these issues, we installed CleanSpace, which is our encapsulation system that helps keeps moisture out and clean air in. This acts a barrier, so water and musty air do not cause harm to the health of the home. With the help of Jeremey and Thrasher, they do not have to worry about breathing in bad air any longer! They have the peace of mind they deserve. 

Homeowner Joan F. was tired of the musty smell in her home. She would notice it when she was gone for an extended time and then notice the smell upon return. She was ready to fix this permanently and gave Thrasher a call.

System Design Specialist AJ LaVoie went out to Joan’s home. He was able to see that there was water intrusion in the crawl space that was causing the musty smell. The crew installed a full perimeter drain line system in the crawl space and tied together with a SuperPump system. We then encapsulated the entire crawl space with CleanSpace to permanently separate the outside from the rest of her home. We finished this project by burying her discharge line from the sump pump. Joan was happy to never have to the musty smell in her home again!

This homeowner recently purchased their house. Upon purchase, they were aware that the crawl space had moisture in it. After noticing their allergies flared up since they moved in, it was time to get professional help. 

We were the third company to look at the problem. The first company said that the crawl space was not tall enough for them to work in. The second company said the crawl space was too wet for them to inspect. But here at Thrasher, we're willing to get a little dirty and do our best to help.

After we inspected the crawl space, we determined that this crawl space had a high moisture content in the soil and a faulty sump pump installed. 

To fix these issues, we encapsulated the crawl space using CleanSpace and a drainage mat. We also replaced the faulty sump pump with a Triple Safe Sump Pump. And lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona to reduce humidity and purify the air.

The customer was grateful we were willing to help them and said the SaniDry made a noticeable different within the first 24 hours.

These homeowners recently purchased and moved into their home that they wanted their soon to enjoy until he graduated from high school. They noticed that water was getting into the floors of their carpeted floors and forcing them to pull back to carpets daily to ensure that they weren't getting water damage. As frustrated as they were with this problem, they knew that it would only get worse with time, and they knew they needed to call someone they trusted, so they gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Josh Brown to inspect the floors and determine what was causing water to seep into their carpets, see if any water damage had occurred, and determine what solutions would be best to help these homeowner's water problem. Josh found that water was getting in through several locations due to the moisture and water in the crawlspace. He also saw that there was mold and mildew issues starting in occupied living places which is a big concern for the health of these homeowners. Luckily, Josh knew just the solutions, so after talking to the homeowners, he set up a time for an installation team to come out and install moisture reducing solutions.

The installation team arrived and set the crawlspace up with drain lines, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. After this, they went to the lowest floor of the home and installed WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to ensure that the carpets and flooring would remain dry.
