Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In order to keep this crawl space safe from moisture, we placed down our CleanSpace crawl space liner, which will block out moisture from the earth. This liner went on top of our drainage matting, which can not be seen from the picture. The drainage matting helps drain water to the sump and also softens the area. We tape the liner at all seams with waterproof tape, and we button the liner up the walls of the crawl space. We also installed SilverGlo insulation along the walls, which are made of an inorganic material and are unable to grow mold. 

The Turtl is designed to give the homeowner easy access into the crawl space while also being able to seal air out of the crawl space.  The Turtl is made of an inorganic material that will never rot or need to be painted.  

In Farmersville, Ohio, this crawl space was experiencing excess moisture, musty odors, and poor insulation—common issues that can affect the entire home. We performed a complete encapsulation, installing drainage matting, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SilverGlo™ insulation, spray foam on rim joists, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The “before” photos show a damp, neglected space, while the “after” images highlight a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawl space that helps protect the home from the ground up.

Many homes in our area have both a crawl space and a basement, as was the case for this project in Germantown, OH. The homeowners were frustrated with their 2.5-foot crawl space, which was musty and emitting unpleasant odors. The smells were especially strong whenever they went down to the basement to do laundry, store items, or work out. Wanting a solution, they reached out to us for crawl space encapsulation.

We sent one of our inspectors for a free quote, and after reviewing the proposal, the homeowners agreed to move forward. Within a couple of weeks, we began the project. For smaller crawl spaces like this one, we have specialized crews experienced in working within tight areas. A two-man team, Mike and Oscar, completed the encapsulation in just five hours, leaving the homeowners with a cleaner, fresher space.
