MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

This client gave us a call so that we could help her preserve her parents home. They had tried doing everything they could to fix the rippling floors and moldy smell. They had a vapor barrier installed by another company, but after months the issue still remains. As you can see the problem was not fixed. Standing water, mold, and exposed groud were causing issues to build up. This is where we came in to help. We started with a mold spray to kill the excessive mold, then fully encapusulated her crawlspace, installed a sump pump, and a dehumidifer to help the floors and keep future mold from growing. 

We encapsulated this home for a customer that had lost their parents in the last few years. This home was where they grew up so when they started noticing issues with the floors buckling they called us. We were able to come in, encapsulated the home and help their floors lay back down. This customer knew that MidSouth would be able to take care of the problem while also taking care of the home that meant so much to their family. 

This home was experiencing an overabundance of moisture intrusion. This was in part due to the amount of excess falling insulation and plastic sheeting on the ground, holding moisture.

Our team cleaned out the crawlspace, getting it ready for a full encapsulation and mold spray. We remove the plastic sheeting as well, because if it is left, it will hold water in puddles leaving a lasting, musty scent underneath. Once it was up, we laid out our liner on the ground and sealed it up across the crawlspace walls as well. We added a sump pump to keep the water out of the crawlspace, and a dehumidifier to maintain the dry atmosphere. 

With the subfloor reading at a moisture level of 44.7%, this home was in desperate need of some moisture control and waterproofing. The subfloor and joists were literally wet to the touch due to the crawlspace being open to the outside elements. Another contributing factor to this moisture problem was the fiberglass insulation that was originally installed. Sadly, this product does more harm than good under the house by absorbing water like a sponge and keeping it nestled close to the wooden parts of the foundation. This always leads to mold and rot, creating problems down the road. 

Our team was able to clean out the falling insulation and debris, install a sump pump in the ground, and encapsulate and seal off the crawlspace. We also include a dehumidifier that will help maintain the dry atmosphere under the home. We left with a happy homeowner!

Moisture and mold were growing in this homeowner's crawlspace. When she found the insulation was holding water right up under her floors, she knew she had to do something. Corey Becker inspected the crawlspace and was able to provide a solution for her home. We removed the soaked insulation and sealed off the crawlspace. Then we installed our 20 mil CleanSpace liner, sump pump, and dehumidifier to permanently and effectively protect the crawlspace from moisture intrusion, mold, and rot.
