Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The customer wanted to buy this home, but first needed to remediate the crawl space mold and water intrusion problem. To treat the crawl space for mold, our crew used soda blasting. Soda blasting is a type of blasting that uses sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda. It is a relatively non-abrasive process that is effective at removing mold and mildew. 

A water problem in this home buyer's crawl space needed a permanent solution. For water removal and re-accumulation prevention, we installed a SuperSump pump and EZ-Flow drainage system. This water management system will ensure that the crawl space is kept dry and free of mold and mildew buildup. Additionally, it reduces the risk of structural damage.

The upper levels of this townhome had sloping floors. As a permanent solution to the problem, we installed SmartJack Support Posts for permanent stabilization, leveling, and lifting.

The floor joists became weakened due to high moisture levels in this homeowner's crawl space. As a result, the floors above sagged and were unlevel. High moisture levels can cause wood to rot, which weakens the joists, making them unable to support the floors above. The SmartJack Support Posts can help restore the structural integrity of the floors and lift them back to level by reinforcing the floor joists.

This homeowner reached out to us because they were selling their house and wanted to get their crawl space encapsulated. They know how important it is to have an encapsulated crawl space, so they wanted to invest in getting it done to increase their home's value. Dave Coughlin, part of our Real Estate Response team, went out to the house to inspect the crawl space and create a customized solution. In order to fix up this crawl space, Devon and his crew removed the debris and then installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. Installing the CleanSpace keeps the crawl space dry and prevents the growth of mold because. This will protect the crawl space and in turn the home for years to come.
