Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space in East Bernstadt, KY, was holding way too much moisture. Dirt floored crawl spaces allow immense amounts of moisture to rise up from the ground. It also didn't help that this crawl space had ground water leaking issues where pools of water could build up in the floor. To repair this crawl space, we started by installing a waterproofing system consisting of underground perforated drains backfilled with gravel connected to a sump pump. By waterproofing, we were then able to encapsulate the crawl space with an entire layer of our vapor barrier up and down the walls. We also threw in an energy efficient dehumidifier and insulation panels to help keep the crawl space dry and insulated. The result was a happy customer who is happy with their newly renovated dream home!

Before tackling this project in Williamsburg, KY, the crawl space was a homeowner's nightmare: damp, dark, and deserted. Guided by a friend's rave reviews, they turned to us for relief. Our solution? As you can see in the after photo, we transformed their space with our CleanSpace liner, keeping moisture at bay, added SilverGlow insulation for energy efficiency, and introduced a SaniDry Sedona to ensure air quality. The result? A crawl space that's as functional as it is pristine.

This crawl space in Mc Kee, KY, was having a hard time keeping the humidity levels down. The crawl space was conventionally built with open vents and a thin plastic barrier on the floor. However, this standard crawl space wasn't keeping the foundation safe. The vents allowed cold air to enter in the winter and wet air to enter in the summer. We transformed the crawl space by sealing it with our 20 mil CleanSpace vapor barrier. We also closed off all of the vents and installed a dehumidification system to keep the air in the space dry and conditioned year round. The homeowner was happy with their decision to ditch their old crawl space system with our encapsulation system.

This crawl space in Jeffersonville, KY, needed a proper repair system to help control the humidity levels. We started the encapsulation by insulating the walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels and by injecting spray foam over the rim joists. We then installed a dimpled waterproofing membrane across the crawl space floor, giving the CleanSpace vapor barrier we placed on top a raised, stable surface instead of sitting directly on the muddy ground. Next, we sealed the space with our white CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floor and up the walls. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the air in the sealed space conditioned and as dry as can be. The homeowner was happy with the outcome.

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.
