Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space was in need of a vapor barrier, combined with a new waterproofing system. We installed CleanSpace matting and drainage, as well as a Ultra Sump 4. SilverGlo insulation was installed as well, which well help this customer save money on energy bills. 

This crawl space was emitting musty smells up to the first floor of this home. In order to stop the musty smells, we were going to have to do a full encapsulation. We encapsulate our crawl spaces with CleanSpace lining, which goes all over the floors, around the concrete piers, and partly up the walls. We then installed SilverGlo insulation on the walls which are amazing at retaining heat, helping people save money on energy bills. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is able to remove up to 100 pints of water out the air in a day. 

A Georgetown, Ohio homeowner had concerns about moisture in the crawl space and was interested in encapsulation.  He met with Steve, a Certified Inspector, who recommended a CleanSpace encapsulation system with drainage matting underneath, SilverGlo insulation panels, rim tight joist insulation, and a SmartSump sump pump installed to resolve this problem for the homeowner. In these pictures you can see the before and after of this crawl space.  Before, the crawl space had little to no protection from moisture seeping into the crawl space.  Now with the CleanSpace encapsulation system, the crawl space has a vapor and mold proof liner, and the SmartSump will drain any water that seeps under the CleanSpace liner out of the crawl space.  

This wet crawl space in Hamersville, OH, was giving the homeowners a whole list of problems including; Unhealthy air, sagging joists, poor insulation, etc... We repaired the crawl space by tearing out all the insulation and debris, installing our drainage matting across the entire floor, spraying anabec disinfectant all over the wood, spraying foam insulation all over the band/rim joist, installing five SmartJack posts under the main beam, installing our SilverGlo insulation panels all over the walls, installing a Turtl access door, installing a SmartSump sump pump, installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and installing our white CleanSpace vapor barrier over everything. The result was a happy couple who can now save money on energy costs, breathe healthy air, and save money on costly repairs. 

This crawl space in Hamilton, OH was in pretty rough shape when the homeowners gave us a call to inspect it for free. We told them it would be wise to block out moisture and to control the humidity levels in the crawl space by encapsulating it to prevent further damage to the wood framing. We encapsulated the tiny crawl space by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier and an energy efficient dehumidifier. We also told them it would be wise to strengthen the wooden framing of the crawl space by adding some sister joists to certain parts of the crawl space. As for the fiberglass insulation hanging from the ceiling, we told them it would be best to rip the fiberglass out completely and replace it with our foam insulation panels. The SilverGlo foam insulation panels go along the walls of the crawl space and are moisture proof, eliminating the need for new fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. After repairing their crawl space, this family doesn't have to worry about mold, rot, or high energy bills any longer!
