Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This before and after shows why the conventional vented crawl space theory is not practical. You see, a lot of home builders figure installing some vents in the walls, placing a thin plastic "barrier" over a gravel floor, and insulating with fiberglass in the floor joists are enough for a crawl space. After all, they are following a coded standard, and maybe that's where the problem lies. Either way, vented crawl spaces let moisture run rampant, and only really work in climates that are dry 24/7. By encapsulating the crawl space, as seen here, moisture is eliminated. This means healthy breathing air, and a healthy long-lasting crawl space. Also note the silver insulation panels we installed along the wall, which eliminates the need for nasty fiberglass in the ceiling.

This homeowner had a crawl space with a thin plastic barrier covering the floor. The homeowner quickly realized that they were going to need more than that to keep their crawl space healthy, so they give us a call to install a sump pump system, a dehumidification system, an encapsulation system, an insulation system, and a sealed access door. Having just a thin layer of plastic on a crawl space floor isn't enough to stop moisture from rising into your crawl space, and its important to take all the necessary steps to guarantee a healthy crawl space. 

The dirt floor in this crawl space in East Bernstadt, KY, was leaking lots of moisture. Through a process called the stack effect, where differences in air pressure cause air to move upwards throughout a home, musty smells were reaching the upper levels of the home. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floor, removed all the musty fiberglass insulation, and installed SilverGlo insulation panels along the wall. Finally, we added our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to top the project off. The result of this repair was a couple of happy homeowners who can now look forward to breathing clean air. 

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 home in London, Kentucky needed their crawl space repaired because it was giving them problems with mold, foundation problems, flooding, and loss of energy. We Fixed this problem by installing our UltraSump connected by drainage matting. We also installed CleanSpace and our SaniDry Sedona to keep the basement dry from moisture. Lastly, we installed Rim Joist Insulation and SilverGlo to insulate the crawlspace and save energy.
