Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Louis closed on his new house in September 2021 and wanted to address the issue of excessive moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space. Excess moisture can lead to a host of problems, including mold growth, musty odors, and potential damage to the structural integrity of the house. To tackle this issue and create a more comfortable living space for Louis, we implemented a comprehensive moisture control system.

The first step involved installing CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that acts as a moisture barrier between the ground and the crawl space. This effective barrier prevents moisture from entering the crawl space, thus reducing the humidity levels. To further enhance the moisture control, we incorporated a drainage mat, which allows any water accumulation to be channeled away effectively.

Because of the impact of open vents on moisture infiltration, we proceeded to block off the vents, preventing outside air and humidity from entering the crawl space. This step was crucial in maintaining a controlled environment and preventing excess moisture buildup.

To efficiently manage any potential water intrusion, we installed a SmartDrain, a smart sump pump system designed to detect and pump out any excess water that may enter the crawl space. This added layer of protection ensured that Louis' crawl space remained dry and free from water-related issues.

Lastly, we implemented a Sedona dehumidifier, specifically designed for crawl spaces. The Sedona effectively regulates humidity levels, removing excess moisture from the air and creating a healthier environment.

Chris H loves his home and wants to protect it from mold and rot. He doesn't plan on moving, this is their forever home. He has been worried about the water and moisture potentially causing damage to the crawlspace joists. He's been looking to get this space encapsulated for a while and want the piece of mind knowing there will be no issues in the future. 

We installed CleanSpace to encapsulate the entire crawlspace. By also adding a SmartSump, it will keep the crawlspace dry and will last. Finally, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to lower the humidity levels and eliminating an environment for mold to survive.

They had a moisture issue that was leaving a damp musty smell in the house and cold floors. They wanted to control the moisture while helping keep the crawlspace dry

We used clean space to control the soil moisture and silver glow to put in the rim joist to help keep the home's value up and heat trapped inside the house. We also reinstalled a sump pump to help keep water from sitting under the house.

A homeowner in the Kansas City area called us out because there was a musty smell in her home, causing not only her allergies to get worse, but her partner had started to suffer from the smell. She was quite worried about her partner and her friend had recommended us because we had fixed a similar issue for them.

We sent System Design Specialist Jared Matwich to discuss the problem with the homeowner and determine what solutions could be used to get rid of this musty smell. Jared explored the crawlspace underneath the home and found that the high humidity levels were causing the musty smell throughout the home. Jared called for a team to help him install a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and a SaniDry Dehumidifier to encapsulate or isolate the crawlspace and regulate the air quality in not only the crawlspace, but the entire home. 

These solutions had a huge impact on the quality of life for the homeowners and their health has improved since we were able to isolate the crawlspace air and regulate the humidity spreading to the whole house. They were super impressed with the crew and the work that was done, and our crew was extremely happy that they were able to help improve the health of these homeowners.
