MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner was dealing with various issues, including soft spots in the floors, that were also freezing cold floors in the winter. Fortunately, we were able to introduce them to a system that can tackle all of that! The encapsulation system focuses on sealing and conditioning the underside of the home. The biggest benefit to this is moisture control. Wrapping the crawl space in our CleanSpace Liner, lowering humidity with a dehumidifier, and sending water away with a sump pump prevents moisture damage from every source. Conditioning the space in this way also acts as a great form of insulation, which will help with the temperature of the floors. The difference in protection is huge, and so is the visual difference! Check out the provided before and after images, taken by the crew that installed it. 

This home in Harvey, LA not only looks much nicer after installing our encapsulations system, it also is much safer! The floors of this home are protected from all forms of moisture damage, such as buckling, mold, and rot. This is due to our durable CleanSpace barrier, and the crawlspace dehumidifier and sump pump that makes up the encapsulation system.

When installing our encapsulation system, we always install a sump pump in the ground. The pump will fill up to a certain level and the system is designed to automatically send it through the smart pipe, down the flow guard, and out through the pop-up outlet located away from the house. Our crew is dedicated to keeping your yard looking undisturbed! 

When these homeowners reached out to us they told us that not just crawl space moisture, but standing water had been a problem for a long time. Any time it would rain the crawl space would fill with different spots of water, and the constant mildew smell would just get worse. They tried to solve this with a standard sump pump, but it just couldn't keep up, and the problems continued. They had already done a little research into encapsulations and was hoping we could have someone explain it to them a bit more. We gladly sent out one of our system design specialists, who not only did a thorough inspection of the entire crawl space, but took plenty of extra time to sit down with the curious homeowners and explain the benefits of encapsulation in depth. Fast forward a bit, and now we have our whole system installed under the home doing exactly what they had dreamed about. The underside is sealed and wrapped, and our triplesafe sump pump is doing the job that the last one could not! 

It can be easy to let the underside of your home become a muddy mess, similar to this one, just because of it mostly being out of sight. But checking up on your crawl space is worth it, it may be scary under there, but not scarier than the dangers crawl space moisture can bring. Several spots of these homeowners floors had become weak, and a joists was at risk. By encapsulating the crawl space, we were able to get this moisture under control and prevent further damage to the floors. But the best way to avoid this is by caring for he underside of your home before moisture gets this bad!
