Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

From time to time, Ivan would get water in his basement. Then he noticed his floors were starting to sag. Worried about mold and the integrity of his home, he wanted to fix this problem, especially since he has plans to give this home to his daughter. He knew a band-aid fix wouldn't work and wanted a permanent solution. So he called Thrasher. One of our System Design Specialists, Austin Ahlf, went out to Ivan's home to figure out the root of the problem.

Upon inspection, we found that water was entering through the coal joints in the wall. On top of that, his crawl space was sagging as well. We used WaterGuard with a lateral to the sump pump to fix his water issue. We then used CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier, to divert any water intrusion and channel it away from the home. And then, for his crawl space, we installed SmartJacks to lift and level his support beams back into place.

Jason N. is a homeowner in Pierce, NE, who recently purchased a second home, but was worried about the crawl space underneath becoming an issue in the future. It’s common for poorly sealed crawl spaces to decrease the efficiency of a home, decrease the air quality, and cause foul odors. Looking for a permanent solution, Jason called Thrasher because of our reputation and dedication to providing industry-leading solutions.

Our crews arrived at the home in Pierce, NE, and immediately went to work encapsulating the crawl space. We installed our CleanSpace waterproof barrier and SmartDrain to guarantee this crawl space stays dry year-round. Jason was pleased to have the project done in a timely manner and to have restored peace of mind in his new house. 

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!
