Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Kim and her son were having allergy issues and mold/humidity was a big concern. They noticed that they had sagging floors and the walls were bowing in which they believed might be some of the problem. Their house was built in the 1880s and they wanted to ensure that it is being taken care of. They were looking for better air quality and to repair their crawl space.

They decided to call us at Thrasher Foundation Repair and we were able to identify their issues and make a plan to resolve them. We encapsulated the crawl space with a product called CleanSpace. We added a Sedona Sani Dry dehumidifier to reduce humidity. We also added 5 GeoLock Anchors on the east wall to support the bowing walls. 

In the warmer months, The home would have a bad odor coming from crawl space. This was because there was no encapsulation that prevented the soil moisture from coming into the house from the access window that is in the basement causing mold to grow. 

We used CleanSpace Encapsulation to ensure that the soil moisture was under control, a SmartDrain to collect and disperse the collected water, and a SaniDry to improve the air quality of her home by lowering the air humidity and getting rid of the nasty smell she was dealing with.

If you wouldn't have a dirt floor in one of your bedrooms, you shouldn't have one in your crawl space. The crawl space is just as connected to your home as any other room, but unfortunately, they're often forgotten about. This customer decided to take the next step and get their crawl space encapsulated for better air quality in their home!

Randolph had just moved into his home and felt the floors were not well supported. He gave us a call, and we sent out System Design Specialist Levi Ashmore to inspect the house. 

After looking in the crawl space, we saw a lot of old supports that were sagging and leaning. In fact, the supports were stacks of bricks and blocks! We also noticed the support beam was in pretty bad shape. This was causing many issues upstairs, including cracks, sagging floors, and uneven doorways. 

To fix this issue, we used a steel supplemental beam and steel SmartJacks to support the floor joists in Randolph's home permanently. Getting the connection point where the jack and beam meet and where the jack and the system base connect is crucial. On top of that, we also made sure the bottom of our system got deep enough into the soil to help stabilize since soil washes out and dries up over time.

Randolph was very pleased with his now stable floors! 

This homeowner was struggling with the sagging floors on the main story of her home. She decided that this was something that was bringing down her quality of life, so she decided it needed to be fixed and she called us.

We sent System Design Specialist Justice Haven to inspect the crawl space. He found that moisture was causing the support beams to sag, and thus the floors were sagging. To fix this problem, Justice and his team used our SmartJacks and supplemental beams to lift the floor back to its original level. 

The homeowner loved the outcome as her floors are now level. Check out her crawl space change!
