Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Before the intervention by The Basement Doctor team, the homeowner faced a concerning issue: the main beam in their crawl space was compromised due to sinking concrete columns, leading to a sagging problem that threatened the integrity of their home. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the significant sagging posed a serious concern. Fortunate for this Owingsville, KY homeowner, our solution was at hand. We installed our innovative SmartJack system, a reliable and durable fix to reinforce the weakened structure. We also replaced the main beam, as it was too far gone. The 'after' photo showcases the remarkable transformation, bringing peace of mind and stability back to the homeowner's life. With our focus on providing a lasting solution and an exceptional customer experience, we're proud to restore not just homes, but homeowners' confidence.

This old crawl space had trash, fallen fiberglass, mold, pests, and wet spots scattered all around. The homeowner knew they wanted it encapsulated so they could protect their home, but they didn't know what company to look for. After doing some research, they looked at our reviews and decided they wanted us to come take a look at their crawl space. After sending one of our certified Inspectors out for a free consultation and to go over the specifics, the homeowner knew that we were the right company and hired us to encapsulate their crawl space. We waterproofed, encapsulated, installed a dehumidification system, sealed the vents, and removed all the debris. The result made the homeowners very happy with their choice. 

This crawlspace was so wet and dirty that it had a pretty bad smell. Mold and other odors can cause headaches, nausea, and a lot of other health issues for the inhabitants who breathe it in. Our crawlspace encapsulation, highlighted by CleanSpace walls, is a perfect solution to block out mold and dirt. 

This home in Frenchburg, KY, was experiencing saggy floors above the crawl space. This was because the framing in their crawl space had started to rot from moisture damage. The concrete columns in the crawl space had settled as well, further causing the framing to warp. We replaced the main beam and sistered a large majority of the floor joists in the crawl space with new wood to ensure structural integrity. We then stabilized the main beam with our SmartJack crawl space posts to jack the framing back up to where it was before the sagging started. This process helped straightened out the floors above. This project displays what can happen to the framing in a crawl space if moisture is not contained.

In Pineville, a homeowner faced unpleasant musty smells due to excessive moisture in their crawl space. Notice in the before photo the visible signs of moisture seepage contributing to mold, mildew, and air quality issues. In the after photo, our expert team used the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system and SilverGlo wall insulation to effectively lock out moisture. CleanSpace brings unparalleled vapor protection with its sturdy, UV-resistant liner. Combined with the efficient R-11 insulating SilverGlo material, it ensures a dry, odor-free crawl space, optimizing comfort and air quality in the home.
