Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl spaces floor in Dayton, OH, looked like it belonged on mars. All of the dust particles kept leaking into the upstairs level of the home, causing the homeowners breathing troubles. The crawl space was also very humid, which could cause the wooden framing to deteriorate at a rapid pace - if not accounted for. The homeowners decided they had enough one day, and called us out to encapsulate their crawl space, The Basement Doctor way. we installed drainage matting all over the floor, wrapped the walls in SilverGlo insulation, encapsulated the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and then set up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The result completely transformed the feel of the home, even from upstairs. 

This crawl space in Batavia, OH, had moldy floor joists and fiberglass insulation. This happened over time because there were two open vents in the space, and these vents were allowing moisture filled air to enter the space. The first step we took in the project was removing the moldy fiberglass and spraying down the floor joists with our anabec mold cleanser. Next, to properly close the space off from the outside conditions, we encapsulated the area with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. We also made sure to install our SilverGlo insulation panels along the walls, which contains antimicrobial materials, unlike fiberglass. Lastly, to ensure the space stays dry, we placed our SaniDry Sedona dehumdifier (unpictured) in the corner of the crawl space.
