Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Midway, KY, wanted a cleaner, healthier, more energy efficient home, so they wanted us to encapsulate their crawl space. Having your crawl space encapsulated has one of the highest returns on investment in terms of home improvement projects, especially when your crawl space is large and wet like this one. We encapsulated the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier in order to keep the space clean, and we installed our SilverGlo insulation in order to keep the space well insulated. We finished the project by installing our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to ensure the space stays dry 24/7. The result of this project is a home that will save money on energy costs & potential repairs, have healthier air, and will keep pests out like rattlesnakes known to frequent the area.

In order to control the high humidity levels for this crawl space in Wilmore, KY, we installed a large vapor barrier all across the dirt floor and all across the walls. You see, when we install our CleanSpace liner, we make sure to seal it off with tape everywhere in the crawl space, even the concrete piers. This way, there is effectively no way moisture can seep up through the crawl space. We also added a dehumidification system to ensure moisture would not be present in the crawl space any longer.

Before: This crawl space in Williamstown, Kentucky, was dusty, humid, and unprotected — the kind of environment that invites mold, moisture damage, and poor air quality. The homeowner was concerned about the long-term impact on their home and reached out for a permanent solution.

After: We transformed the space with a full CleanSpace® vapor barrier encapsulation, sealing off the crawl space from the earth. To manage water, we installed drainage matting, perforated drain lines, and a SmartSump® system for reliable water removal. A dehumidifier was added to keep humidity in check, and we finished the job with SilverGlo® insulation panels along the walls to improve energy efficiency.

The result is a clean, dry, and protected crawl space — and a much healthier home above.

This vented crawl space was allowing wet air to enter in the Spring and Summer, and it was allowing for cold air to enter in the Winter and Fall. The wet air had destroyed the fiberglass insulation, damaged the wood, and caused musty smells. The cold air caused cold floors and higher energy bills in the winter. By encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace moisture barrier, our SmartSump sump pump, and our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, we were able to completely change the look, feel, and smell of the crawl space.
