Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This customer needed his crawlspace encapsulated as a contingency to complete the sale of his home. The crawlspace was exposed to the earth and was extremely dry and dusty. We used CleanSpace with drainage matting underneath to seal off the home from the earth. This will help prevent dirty air from entering the home and will also improve heating and cooling efficiency. 

These homeowners recently bought their home and planned to start remodeling it soon. Before their remodel however, they noticed that there were unlevel floors on the second floor. Wanting to ensure that everything would go well with the remodel, they called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Anthony Salcedo to inspect the upstairs floors and determine what the cause of this issue was. Anthony sound that the support beam in the basement has sinking issues and that the floor had heave issues. He found the root cause of this problem to be that the support posts holding up the support beam was failing and needed to be replaced. Anthony and his team got right to work after discussing with the homeowners the best course of action. The team installed SmartJacks and expansion joints to support the basement support beam and ensure that the posts would not move even if the support beam were to heave or sink. This combats the sinking problem, so that the upstairs floor will remain level in the future.

The homeowners were happy with the outcome and the look of them. They can't wait to proceed with their remodel. Check out their support beam lift!

This customer has noticed moisture in the crawlspace and was concerned about the structural support post. They knew they wanted to sell the house within the next 7-8 years, so they wanted to get a start on fixing some issues now. After inspecting the house, we discovered the customer's foundation was built on caissons, or a watertight retaining structure. When it would rain, moisture would come in but would never pool, just making the soil damp. The dirt crawlspace was also a contributor to the poor indoor air quality. 

We were able to help this homeowner with a crawlspace encapsulation, one SmartJack on one side of the beam on the shallow dirt shelf walls, and one SmartJack XT on the seven-foot drop in the soil/elevation changed in the crawlspace.

This homeowner needed to remediate the moisture issue in the crawlspace. It was flagged during the inspection when they were closing the sale of the home. The needed a permanent fix with a transferrable warranty for the new buyers. They gave Thrasher a call and System Design Specialist, Anthony Salcedo, came out and met them. Anthony did his inspection and found the crawlspace was never sealed and the moisture from the earth caused damage, mold, and mildew on the floor joists. To help combat this issue and give a permanent fix, we used CleanSpace Encapsulation, Drainage matting, and a Sani Dry dehumidification system. These systems help prevent moisture and mold growth.
