Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space had pools of water sitting at the bottom every time it rained. These pools of water were causing mold and moisture issues, which were tearing away at the insulation and wooden frames. In order to fix this, we installed a drainage system made of perforated pipes backfilled with gravel along the interior perimeter of the crawl space. These drains were hooked up to a SmartSump sump pump. We then covered the whole crawl space in Clean Space liner, which is made of non organic material. Thus way mold can never grow on it. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is able to eliminate air moisture issues. We also installed a Turtl crawl space entry door, which is not shown in the pictures. 

Need an egress window for your basement bedroom? We can help! Drainage at the bottom of the well is key! Note: Not pictured is the window well covering, we figured you all would rather see the inside of the well!

We installed a Turtl crawl space access door for this homeowner in Lexington, Kentucky.

This homeowner gave us a call because they were concerned with their wooden framing in their crawl space. The homeowner informed us that their crawl space was not that old, and they were pretty upset at the condition it was in. We informed them that they called us at the right time, because had they waited longer, the wood may have grown past the point of safe. We then told them more about our encapsulation process, and how it could save them lots of money in the long run by being able to save the wooden framing. We also informed them of one spot where the wooden frame could use a little extra support with one of our SmartJack posts. By installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier over some drainage matting, our SmartJack post, our SilverGlo foam insulation panels, our waterproofing system connected to a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system, we were able to guarantee they won't have to worry about the health of their wooden framing any longer. 

Crawl Spaces are susceptible to water leaks just like basements, and it's important to prevent them. We dug trenches around this crawl space's perimeter and installed perforated pipes in the trenches. We then backfilled the trenches with gravel, which will further help drain the water leaks. We then hooked the drains up to a SmartSump sump pump, which is a perfect size for this crawl space. No longer are there pools of water sitting in this crawl space!
