Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This home was rebuilt in 2007 with an open crawlspace. They gave us a call because they were having issues with their floors buckling due to moisture in the crawlspace. Melissa Johnson performed the inspection and recommended that they have the crawlspace bricked in, to seal it off from the outside air AND install an encapsulation. Our encapsulation system keeps the crawlspace dry and helps prevent floors from buckling in the future, and can even help already buckling floors settle down.

This homeowner was having moisture and mold issues in the crawlspace of his townhome. He needed to find a permanent solution and found our company online. One of our Design Specialist's, Ransom Ford, went out and took a look at the issues he was facing. Ransom was able to propose a solution and we installed our system a couple weeks later! We first cleaned out the crawlspace that was full of old plastic and broken bricks. Then we sealed off all vents and openings to the outside. Finally, we installed our waterproofing system that will keep his crawlspace dry, moisture free and mold free! We left with a happy customer.

Here is a look at a recent complete encapsulation we did for this homeowner in New Orleans. The after photo prominently features our CleanSpace Liner, which can be found throughout the entire crawl space, secured to the floor, walls, and supports of the crawl space. Making sure everything is properly covered with the liner is important to blocking our moisture intrusion and humidity issues. This encapsulation was planned out by our design specialist, Matt, and installed under our foreman, David, and his crew!

This homeowner reached out to us and described signs of moisture problems in his crawl space. His original plan was to have fans placed underneath his home in an attempt to dry out the area, but we've seen this solution before, and it never works. We sent out one of our design specialist to introduce him to the permanent solution he really needed - the encapsulation system. Its most noticeable feature is the CleanSpace Liner, which is lined on the floors and walls of the crawl space to separate the space from the wet ground and outside air. Also installed in the crawl space is a dehumidifier and sump pump designed with crawl spaces and efficiency in mind. It is now a much safer, drier, and cleaner space, and the moisture issues the homeowner once feared are taken care of. 

This home in New Orleans had standing water and moisture issues in the crawlspace affecting the floors above it. We pumped the water out, installed a SmartSump and Dehumidifier to keep the water out, and completely encapsulated the space to make sure this is never a problem again.
