Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowner were struggling with a bad smell that had somehow seeped into their home. They knew from a previous home's problem that the crawl space would be a potential cause of this, and in their old home, they used our services, so they gave us a call again to check out their new crawl space. 

We sent Service Technician Matt Stice to inspect the crawl space and determine what happened to cause this smell. Matt found that the crawl space was quite dirty, musty, and that the rim joists were not properly insulated. After discussing options with the homeowners, they decided to choose Thrasher to complete their project. Matt and his team encapsulated the crawl space CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier and they utilized a TripleSafe Sump Pump to keep the crawlspace free of water. They also insulated the rim joists with SilverGlo and added a Sedona Dehumidifier to improve the air quality and decrease the humidity of the crawl space.

The homeowners were shocked at the transformation that happened in their home. They were more comfortable in their home because there is no longer a smell. Check out their crawl space transformation!

Homeowner Jeanne was looking for a better solution to repair her sagging floors to ensure the home was stable.  Since she was a previously satisfied customer, she chose us to help her with this issue.

System Design Specialist, Kerry headed out to provide Jeanne a free same-day free estimate.  We determined that we needed to install a steel supplemental beam under the center support beam.  We then added additional Smart Jacks to support the beam which helped stabilize the floor.

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.
