MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

In these two photos, you will find two different vapor barriers underneath the same home. The first, is a standard, flimsy barrier that obviously did not hold up very well. You'll find barriers like these under many homes, and they are unfortunately not really doing much to prevent moisture or humidity. Even with the barrier, this home was still dealing with a damp crawlspace and buckling floors. The second, is our heavy-duty 20-mil CleanSpace Liner that we installed under the home. This durable barrier lines the ground, walls, and supports and permanently separates the crawlspace from the ground. This is one part of our encapsulation system, designed to keep homes like this one, safe from moisture.

This homeowner discovered some water damage on his joists, causing needed concern for the stability of his floors. The water damage wasn't a surprise, as this crawl space had been left completely exposed and unprotected against moisture. Fortunately, our team came with the perfect solution. Our encapsulation system will cover moisture from every direction and every shape it comes in. The bright white barrier you see is our durable CleanSpace Liner, which helps separate the crawl space from the moist ground and outside air. For the humid air, our crawl space dehumidifier will continuously regulate things and keep the underside of the home at a safe level of humidity. A sump pump system is also installed, which collects water intrusion, water from the ground and from the sump pump, to be sent away from the crawl space. The floors of this home have never been safer!

Here is a photo of the state of this homeowner's crawlspace when our design specialist, Corey, first did his initial inspection and estimate. Its your typical messy crawlspace with a moist ground floor. This moisture was playing a large part in the sinking floor problem the homeowner reached out to us about. In the second image, you can see the crawlspace after Corey designed a system for the home and one of our talented production crews made it a reality. The mess is gone, and more importantly, the moisture will no longer be a problem. The white CleanSpace liner you see all throughout the crawlspace is acting as a barrier,  keeping out ground water seepage. Unseen in the images, is our energy efficient crawlspace dehumidifier and our perimeter drainage system. Both working alongside the CleanSpace vapor barrier to stop moisture, water, and humidity from affecting this home.

Our foundation repair crew's main goal is to first stabilize the home, always in the safest manner. We do not want to push the home further than we should and create more damage. Sometimes in the process of stabilizing, we are able to achieve some lift. You'll notice in these two images that the crack between the window and the wall has shrunk, and the separation in the brick has gotten closer. The most important part, preventing further settlement was achieved, and we are happy to see we could help with some of the cracking as well!
