Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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. 

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!

Crawl spaces left unattended can slowly deteriorate.  Mold growth, bug and spider infestation, moisture, and odors develop and increase over time. 

Cleaning up and fully encapulating the crawl space is the safest and healthiest way to not only improve the space itself, but to improve the air quality in the rooms and floors above.

Nasty crawlspaces are becoming an epidemic in the US. Mold, humidity, bugs, and odors come into the main living spaces through the crawl space. With a crawlspace overhaul and repair you can turn a nasty crawlspace into a clean and healthy environment. The encapsulating process can turn an old, smelly crawlspace into a revitalized area of the home and in most cases additional storage as well.
