Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

A crawl space in Evansville, IN, was affecting the cost of energy due to the humidity and damp ground. A home with a dirt crawl space costs more to heat and cool. Damp air puts more of a hidden load on the HVAC system. If some cracks or openings are always in contact with outside air, then it is affecting your home's energy. The homeowner wanted to save money in the long run by keeping the crawl space fully closed. The best solution for sealing all cracks and openings in a crawl space is to cover every inch of the dirt floor and walls with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that allows water to seep beneath the liner, towards the sump pump. It stops water vapor from permeating up from the floor above. An added benefit of installing CleanSpace is that you can use the space for extra storage. The homeowner was happy to have an energy-efficient crawl space that would save them money in the future. 

A homeowner in Newburgh, IN, had water puddles throughout the space, causing the flooring to be muddy. Due to the humidity and moisture, a few mold spores were spotted on the wooden beams. Water vapor kept flowing up from the soil, causing the water to build up. If this keeps happening, water may eventually flood the crawl space, causing bigger issues for the home. The homeowner was ready o transform the crawl space into a dry and usable space. 

To prevent future water vapor from disrupting the crawl space's environment, CleanSpace is laid throughout the floor and walls. It will allow water to drain from the walls and floor to the sump location. CleanSpace is treated with an antimicrobial ingredient so mold and bacteria will not grow on it. SmartSump is put in to continuously pump water out by itself. It has a pump alarm to alert if the sump pump may fail or bring awareness if the crawl space is flooding. Any mold was removed through mold remediation. The crawl space gave the homeowner peace of mind to know that their space is safe from water and mold. 

In Chandler, IN, a couple was interested in waterproofing their crawl space. The crawl space had been untreated since being built, so the couple knew that they wanted to waterproof their crawl space when the opportunity arose. When a heavy rainfall occurred, it worried the couple when they peered into the crawl space and saw water puddles throughout the space. Waterproofing was a necessity for the homeowners because they were interested in using the crawl space for future storage. 

To prevent water puddles from appearing in the crawl space again, a SmartSump was placed into the ground and continuously pump out any water that enter the basement. There is an alarm pump for the sump to alert the homeowners if it would ever fails. Dimple matting is placed throughout the floor of the crawl space to direct water to the sump pump. CleanSpace seals the space away from the outside air. After the liner is installed, the SaniDry Sedona is plugged in to create a constant dry airflow throughout the space. It beats humidity and the possibility of mold spores thriving. The couple was ecstatic to finally have the waterproofed crawl space that they always hoped for. 

In Evansville, IN, a family needed their windows replaced due to water leakage. Upon arrival and inspection of the windows, the glass was cracked, with dirt crusted onto the frame of the window. One of the homeowners pointed out that they would love to have more natural light in the basement, but the windows were blocked with sheeting to prevent water from coming in through the cracks. Replacing the windows in the basement would not only brighten the place up but protect the space from future leaks.

The windows were replaced with the EverLast basement window. The EverLast window is energy-efficient, all-vinyl, and double-paned glass. Metal-framed windows rust, wood windows rot, and are difficult to keep painted. The EverLast windows are made with all-vinyl, so they will not fail like most windows. The homeowners were astonished by how the new EverLast windows transformed their basement into a lively space. 

A homeowner located in Marion, KY, was interested in protecting the vapor barrier in his crawl space. Humidity and moisture were constant issues in his state that he desperately needed to repair to have an energy-efficient home. The pin insulation, also known as fiberglass insulation, started to fall or hang due to the high humidity. When insulation such as this is failing, the best solution is to remove it all. The homeowner was ready to transform the space for the better. 

Before installing a new system to keep humidity away, all insulation from the ceiling is taken down. CleanSpace is then laid throughout the crawl space to seal the space from the outside air. CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that brightens up the atmosphere. A SmartSump pump is put into the ground to constantly pump water out that enters the crawl space. The sump pump prevents any water from happening again. It thrilled the homeowner to know that his crawl space is energy-efficient!
