MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

Large home in Philadelphia, MS with water seeping through the concrete block walls of the basement. This entire basement is living space. We installed our Waterguard system in the floor and adhered our BrightWall system to the walls to direct any water that comes into the basement to the sump pump, that would then discharge it outside. 

This basement was struggling with water intrusion, as most basements do. The homeowner gave us a call to see what we could do to rectify the situation. Our waterproofing system is installed under the concrete, on top of the footer. This way, it will catch all the water coming up from the ground before it breaks the surface, and will direct it into the Sump Pump we install in the lowest spot. We also covered the walls with our BrightWall plastic sheeting. Not only is it also waterproof and drains excess water right into our WaterGuard system, it brightens the dark basement and makes it a cleaner, happier looking space!

Both these images were taken inside the same crawlspace in Collinsville, MS, and clearly show the drastic difference between a standard vapor barrier and our Cleanspace Liner. The original vapor barrier wasn't able to do its job of acting as a barrier between the moist dirt and crawlspace itself. You can see where it has pulled away from the edges and begun deteriorating. Our Cleanspace Liner on the otherhand, is fastened securely to both the walls and floor of the crawlspace, making ground water seepage impossible.

These two photos come from the same crawl space and showcase just how big of a difference our crawl space encapsulation system can make on the underside of the home. They reached out to us with concern for their floors that had started to feel soft and sink. Taking a look under their home, it was easy to tell that the source of this problem was crawl space moisture. Not only was it affecting the floors, but it had allowed some mold to thrive under the home as well. In order to combat this, we installed our full encapsulation system, including the CleanSpace Liner you can see in the after image, and our crawl space dehumidifier and sump pump system. With the moisture and humidity contained, mold cannot thrive and the floors will be more protected than ever!

These homeowners had been dealing with crawl space moisture problems for quite a long time. They originally tried to combat this with a standard vapor barrier, but as you can see in the before picture, this solution didn't exactly end up being permanent. We found this old vapor barrier torn in many spots and pulled away from the floor, leaving many exposed areas for moisture to keep doing its thing. In the after image, you can see our replacement, the CleanSpace Liner. Not only is it far more durable, it is securely fastened to both the floors and walls of the crawl space, making sure it won't be going anywhere. Even with all those inconveniently placed pipes, our team made sure to cover each and every part of this crawl space. Its never been this protected from the harm of crawl space moisture!
