Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawlspace had some big rocks in it, but fear not, The Basement Doctor can navigate. CleanSpace matting is flexible enough for any obstruction, and will still block out all negativity.

A Monticello, Kentucky homeowner was interested in having the crawl space encapsulated, a new sump pump system, and a dehumidifier to be added to the crawl space area.  

One of the bigger projects in recent history, this home was due for a crawl space makeover. About 1,335 square feet of Clean Space was installed along the floors and walls to put it into perspective. On top of that, the home needed 4 rows of Smart Jacks to level and stabilize the saggy floor joists.  We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a SmartSump sump pump, drainage tile, supplemental beams, SilverGlo insulation, an UltraSump battery backup system, and joist assist brackets. All in all, this project will be paid for itself in terms of savings on costly repairs, energy savings, and healthy breathing air. The customer was very happy with the transformation.

This homeowner in Versailles, KY, called us after heavy rainfall caused their crawl space to flood. They wanted a permanent solution—not just a quick fix—so we introduced them to our encapsulation system. We explained that it doesn’t just stop flooding, but also blocks moisture entirely, creating a cleaner, healthier, and longer-lasting crawl space. They were all in.

In the after photo, you can see the main “organs” of our system at work:

• SmartSump Pump with UltraSump Battery Backup – the “heart” of the system, collecting groundwater through its “veins” (our drainage channels) and pumping it safely out of the foundation. The UltraSump acts like a “pacemaker,” keeping the heart beating even during a power outage.

• SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier – the “lungs,” automatically controlling humidity so the air stays clean and dry.

• CleanSpace Vapor Barrier – the “skin,” sealing out moisture, bugs, and dirt for complete protection.

• SilverGlo Wall Insulation – the “fatty tissue,” locking in warmth during the winter and improving energy efficiency.

With all these components working together, this crawl space now has the full anatomy of a healthy, protected foundation.

The owner of this new home wanted their new crawl space properly prepared for the future. We installed our standard crawl space repair system consisting of a SmartSump sump pump hooked up to a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, CleanSpace lining, drainage matting, and EverLast crawl space door. The result is a crawl space that is properly prepared for the future and will surely last a long, long time.
