Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Moisture issues and neglect had left this crawl space in pretty rough shape. It is easy to ignore what you can't see under the home, but once it starts affecting your floors and the things you see every day it'll be a lot harder to glance over. Fortunately, things weren't too bad yet for these homeowners, and we were able to use our encapsulation system to remedy what little bit of buckling had occurred. The encapsulation will prevent buckling floors and many other moisture-related issues from beginning, so these homeowners can continue to live without worry!

This 3 foot tall crawlspace was holding moisture and standing water causing hard wood floors to buckle inside the home. The homeowner was googling solutions and found our company. Corey Becker performed the estimate and was able to design a permanent solution to keep their crawl space clean and dry. Mike and his crew installed the encapsulation quickly and efficiently, leaving the home in better shape than we found it!

This home owner realized they needed our help when the floors started buckling. We were able to help them by installing a vapor barrier, wall curtains, column wraps, a dehumidifier, and sump pump. This created a clean space that will help the owners floors lay back down and keep from buckling ever again.

Encapsulation

In order to combat the moisture issues they were facing, these homeowners originally had someone come in and install a standard vapor barrier. Over the years, the same problems persisted, and if you look at the before image, it isn't hard to tell why. We found the barrier withered, torn, and exposed. It was time for an upgrade! That is where our CleanSpace Liner comes in. This liner is much more durable and resistant than your average vapor barrier. Rather than just being placed on the ground, the CleanSpace Liner is fastened to each part of the crawl space, including the walls and supports. It also works together as part of a complete system with some of our other crawl space products, including the dehumidifier you can see in the after image. These combined create the encapsulation system, which is made to fight moisture from all forms and directions - intrusion, standing, and humidity.
