Mold Problems Before & After Photos

This home was struggling with moisture seeping into the wood under the house. They weren't ready for an encapsulation system yet, but they wanted to get their wood protected and chose our LumberKote application to do the job. LumberKote is a non-toxic lumber sealant that protects wood from natural elements that can cause excessive moisture absorption. It provides a durable polymer micro-film that creates a physical barrier between lumber and the external environment. 

This homeowner was in the process of moving and needing to sell their home. Their inspection found that the wood joists under the house were not rotted, but holding moisture that could lead to rot down the road. In order to sell the home, they had to get this taken care of. Henry Bennett, one of our Design Specialists, went out and did his own inspection. We found that his wooden joists were in fact reading above the normal range. Our production crew came in and laid down a vapor barrier so that the home would stay in great condition from here on out. Preventative measures are so important and save you money in the long run. 

We were contacted because this home was experiencing some visibly dangerous mold problems. Did you know that open ventilation under the home is actually harmful to your crawl space? Our team sealed off all outside vents, treated the mold problem, and installed our waterproofing system. All of these solutions will work together to create a healthier, more energy efficient atmosphere!

Though there was plastic sheeting down in parts of the crawlspace, this home in Kokomo was still having moisture issues with their crawlspace. As we commonly see, the moisture was causing their floors to buckle inside the home. Thankfully, they called our office and we were able to help them come up with a personalized solution for the issue!

Melissa Johnson was the rep for this home, and walked them through the process of encapsulation. They decided it was their best option and had it installed! We removed the plastic sheeting as it holds and traps water droplets, causing mold and musty smells. Our system will eliminate these smells and helps the crawlspace stay clean and dry. Once the moisture is gone, the floors usually settle down as they dry out.

The contractor for this home in Tylertown called our office on behalf of their customer. They were struggling with a mildew problem that had grown from the crawlspace into the home as well. The dirt under the home was holding moisture creating an environment for mold growth that leads to rot. This is what causes the mildew smell to travel. 

Brett DiBiase designed a waterproofing solution using our system to cure the moisture issues and keep them from returning. We treated the mold, installed our CleanSpace liner, sump pump, and dehumidifier system, and left the crawlspace better than when we found it.
