Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home was getting ready to put the house up for sale, but he wanted to get it in the best condition to sell. Dave Coughlin, a member of our Real Estate Response Team, went out to the house to see what could be done in order to improve the house. Dave noticed that the basement and crawl space were very moist, and the crawl space was not encapsulated and very dirty. Dave solution included encapsulating the crawl space with the CleanSpace wall system to create a mold resistant moisture barrier. Along with also sealing the crawl space vents to fully encapsulate the space. To waterproof the basement the WaterGuard drainage system was installed, along with a SuperSump and CleanSpace on the basement walls. This home is now ready to go on the market!

This crawl space had high levels of humidity and moisture which were causing mold and damage to the wooden support beams. This was also making the floor weak and sag in some places. To alleviate these issues, Ken and Jonah had to remove all the debris and seal the crawl space vents first. Then they installed the CleanSpace drainage matting and liner to create a vapor barrier. CleanSpace is made with antimicrobial additives to prevent the growth of mold. Because of the moisture damage to the wood, they also added SmartJacks to support the foundation and prevent sagging. After going through a complete transformation, the crawl space looks amazing and will help protect this home!

This homeowner reached out to us because was looking to encapsulate her basement and crawl space to ensure her home is fully protected from water intrusion. In order to do our crew installed multiple products to create a customized system for her home. This system included using the CleanSpace Wall System, installing a WaterGuard drainage system along with a TrenchDrain, and a TripleSafe pump system. To enhance the system, they also installed IceGuard and LawnScape. Additionally, the vents to the crawl space had to be sealed from the inside so that no moisture could get in. All of these components work together to keep moisture from damaging the property. Now this homeowner can enjoy a clean, dry basement and crawl space!
