Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space was exposed to what we like to call "the open earth."  When your crawl space is exposed to dirt, it allows for moisture to rise up through the soil, and attaches to the wood, concrete walls, and anything else that you may have in your crawl space. Unfortunately, the moisture in this crawl space grew to mold on their wooden sil plate. To start this renovation, we replaced their sil plate. We then placed our CleanSpace liner all across the walls and floor of this crawl space, sealing it from the earth. The Clean Space liner, similar to a pool liner, is heavy duty and effective at blocking out moisture, bugs, cold air, dirt, and anything else unwanted in your crawl space. We finished by installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a Condensation pump. The SaniDry Sedona is one of our most coveted products, able to take moisture from the air and collect it in large quantities at a proficient rate. The condensation pump hooks up to the SaniDry Sedona and pumps out all the water it collects. 

In Frenchburg, KY, the homeowner of a 20-year-old house faced a challenge with a 2-foot clearance crawl space plagued by moisture issues, leading to potential structural risks and unpleasant odors. In the before photo, see the impact of excess moisture affecting the environment within. By installing our CleanSpace® encapsulation system as highlighted in the after photo, we created a barrier that effectively manages dampness, turning the area into a clean, secure foundation. Trust in The Basement Doctor of Central Kentucky ensures peace of mind and longstanding results.

This drenched crawl space looked like a rainforest before we came and encapsulated it. We first waterproofed the crawl space, then we installed a vapor barrier, then we sealed the crawl space vents, then we set up a dehumidification system. These four steps will ensure a dry crawl space for a long time. 

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. 

This homeowner gave us a call because they were concerned with their wooden framing in their crawl space. The homeowner informed us that their crawl space was not that old, and they were pretty upset at the condition it was in. We informed them that they called us at the right time, because had they waited longer, the wood may have grown past the point of safe. We then told them more about our encapsulation process, and how it could save them lots of money in the long run by being able to save the wooden framing. We also informed them of one spot where the wooden frame could use a little extra support with one of our SmartJack posts. By installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier over some drainage matting, our SmartJack post, our SilverGlo foam insulation panels, our waterproofing system connected to a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidification system, we were able to guarantee they won't have to worry about the health of their wooden framing any longer.
