Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Mary was tired of dealing with a wet and musty smell in Neligh, NE home. She noticed that the floors had also become squeaky and bouncy. She started looking for solutions for crawl space moisture control and came across our work.

System Design Specialist Jesse White went out to Mary’s home and explained the high moisture levels in the crawl space were causing problems with the smell and flooring. After going through solutions, Mary felt confident that we could help. The crew encapsulated the entire crawl space with CleanSpace. We also put drainage matting down to keep the ground moisture separate from the structure. Mary was more than satisfied with our work and glad to have a dry crawl space!

Deb I. and her siblings recently inherited their parent’s home in Grand Island, NE, and they wanted to have it fully inspected to ensure it’s in proper condition. They called Thrasher for their home repair needs because of our reputation and recommendations from surrounding people. During the inspection, System Design Specialist Brandon Headrick noticed the home’s crawl space had severely high moisture and humidity levels.

To combat the crawl space issues, Deb opted to have Thrasher encapsulate the entire space. Our team began by completely clearing out the crawl space, and then applied our CleanSpace moisture barrier to all floors and walls. To drain the captured water, the crew installed our SmartDrain system that alerts the homeowner if there’s ever a plumbing leak, and if there is it automatically drains the water into a dry well beneath the CleanSpace waterproof barrier. These two products work together to perform the ultimate crawl space encapsulation in order to keep it dry year-round.

Deb and her siblings were more than pleased with our crawl space solutions. They were impressed with the efficiency and display of professionalism from our team and were relieved to have their parent’s home fully repaired. Thrasher was able to restore their peace of mind by improving the quality of their new home.

This customer reached out to us because an inspector told him he needed to have his crawlspace looked at when he purchased the house.

When we came out to do an inspection, we found the humidity levels were extremely high due to the exposed soil in his crawlspace. The soil was allowing water vapor to release into the organic wood material in the flooring system above.

To fix this, we installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to protect the crawlspace from releasing moisture and reaching the floors. The vapor barrier isolates the home from the earth, providing a layer of protection for moisture and undesirable humidity that comes with it.

Lorraine, KS - Many older homes exhibit signs of foundation settlement, including cracked walls and ceilings. To resolve this issue and restore stability to the homes foundation, Thrasher installed supplemental support beams and jacks in the crawl space to support the floor and fireplace.

The customer had new plans on selling their forever home but knew they had problems that wanted to fix. They were getting water and humidity in their crawl space that was starting to create mold and developing a smell. 

To fix this problem and keep the home safe for many years to come, we encapsulated their crawlspace, installing a TripleSafe sump pump system and a Sanidry Sedona air filter.
