MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

Cracks in concrete feel inevitable, which makes them also feel like not that big of a deal. Once it begins though, if left unattended, it opens the door for further and further seepage, erosion, and of course more cracking. This homeowner wasn't too bothered by the cracking on his pool patio at first, but as you can see, it started to spread and get out of hand. Fortunately, we were able to get one of our knowledgable design specialist out to his home to teach him about NexusPro. These images allow you to see where all we used NexusPro, revealing just how bad the cracks had gotten. All sealed up, natural and pool water no longer has an entry to sneak between the slab and cause major risks of erosion or settlement. 

This concrete sidewalk looked fine on the exterior, but beneath the surface it was hiding massive and dangerous voids. You can see in the before image just how far our concrete foremen was able to fit his leg into one of the voids. If this was allowed to be left how it was, serious cracking or settlement was destined to occur. Fortunately, our concrete crew brought out PolyLevel and NexusPro systems to ensure that won't be a worry. In the after image, you can see a bit of the PolyFoam used in our PolyLevel system. The entire underside of this sidewalk and its voids have been injected with this expanding foam, leaving no room for settlement. The cracks and breakage that had already occurred, were sealed with NexusPro, our UV-resistant and flexible sealant, to make sure moisture has no more easy access under the concrete where it can continue the erosion. We are proud of our concrete crew and hope this sidewalk continues to be safely used for a long time.

This home owner realized they needed our help when the floors started buckling. We were able to help them by installing a vapor barrier, wall curtains, column wraps, a dehumidifier, and sump pump. This created a clean space that will help the owners floors lay back down and keep from buckling ever again.

Encapsulation

This home was experiencing severe moisture issues in the crawlspace causing mold and musty smells. Andrew Gallagher inspected the home and found the wood to be holding 15-60% moisture along the joists. This is dangerous because it will cause toxic mold and rot to from on the wooden foundation. It especially thrives in a damp, dark atmosphere, like under your house. Before this issue got worse, our team came in and totally dried and cleaned out the crawlspace. We installed our sump pump in the lowest spot to collect the ground water, then put our vapor barrier CleanSpace liner in and up the walls, and finally connected our dehumidifier to the system to get the air fresh and clean. Our system totally regulates the crawlspace humidity and moisture content, keeping the home stable, dry, and clean for years and years to come.
