MidSouth Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

This Morton, Mississippi home was struggling with settlement. It was really affecting the doors and windows in the center of the house. The homeowners gave our office a call and we sent Scottie S. to inspect it. He found significant sagging that could be resolved by fitting our SmartJacks underneath the home to support it. Our crew promptly went out and were able to achieve some great lift, including getting these double doors to open and close without the struggle they have previously had!

At a height of right over two feet, this crawlspace was holding moisture due to visqueen being put over the ground. This plastic, because it's not sealed off and air tight, ends up hurting the crawlspace more than helping it. It traps water under the plastic and creates musty smells that may not have been there before. Melissa Johnson inspected this crawlspace and proposed our well tested solution. We were able to remove the visqueen and apply our encapsulation system to the crawlspace. We do this by cleaning out the crawlspace, installing a sump pump, drainage matting, CleanSpace liner on top of the matting and sealing it off around each wall of the crawlspace, and putting a dehumidifier in on top of it. These products work together to keep moisture out and dry air in. 

We can never get enough of seeing dirt crawlspaces transformed into clean and protected areas. Here is an example from one of our customers in Yazoo City. The damp, dirt floor is now covered with out durable CleanSpace Liner. This will work in combination with our Crawlspace Dehumidifier to make sure the underside of this home stays dry and ready to combat all forms of moisture.

This customer had insulation in their crawlspace in an attempt to keep the home warm. This caused more issues than just cold floors though. The insulation attracted water, keeping the moisture close to the floors which caused mold and rotting on the floors. We removed the insulation, sprayed a mold removal, and then encapsulated the crawlspace. This corrected the cold floor issue, took care of the mold, and then created a controllable environment where rot cannot take place.
