Healthy Spaces Before & After Photos

Homeowner in Branchville, IN had a damp environment in his crawl space underneath his home. Any moisture is bad in a crawl space because not only do insects and critters of all kinds love this type of environment and wet materials, but mold also thrives in it as well. Our client had previously used Healthy Spaces before at a different home so he knew he wanted to give us a call to help him with his unhealthy space.

Our System Design Specialist worked with him to create a plan that he felt comfortable with and would give him peace of mind. Our team installed a complete encapsulation system, along with drainage matting, and crawl space wall insulation.

Because he had a concrete floor with rocks over the top, we installed our CleanSpace drainage matting. This is used when it's difficult to install a drainage system. Installed under our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the matting creates a drainage space and thermal break between CleanSpace and the ground. Next, we installed our SilverGlo Wall Insulation. SilverGlo is infused with graphite, which reflects heat and lower's the material's conductivity. This makes your crawl space and floors above them warmer in the winter and lowers your cost of heating bills. Lastly, our team installed over the top of the drainage matting and SilverGlo our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System completely isolates your home from the earth by sealing it over the floor and walls.

In Branchville, IN, a couple wanted to convert their unusable crawl space into a space for potential storage and to create a healthy environment for the home. A dirt crawl space not only can create potential disasters at home but the space can not be used constructively. Some homes will have plastic liners on the floor of their crawl space, but this does not make it safe to store important papers or things. The dirt is still being exposed and any tiny cracks in the wall will bring in moisture. The couple wanted to make sure the outside air was closed up before officially using the extra space below the home. 

CleanSpace is fitted into a crawl space to completely seal off your home from the earth. It is made up of 20 mils thick plastic liner that has different characteristics of flexibility and is puncture and tear-resistant. It is also bright white, transforming the space into a clean atmosphere. When CleanSpace is installed, it is considered an “indoor space” because of the dry air and spotless look. As soon as the couple saw the crawl space transform into a practical and money-saving space, they were elated!

Jeremiah in Irvington, KY, called Healthy Spaces because he was interested in installing a crawl space well or access well. After sending our Design Specialist out there, they came up with a solution that would fit Jeremiah's needs. Crawl space access wells can be ugly, deteriorate, and can let in rain, leaves, and debris. The doors will eventually rot and they do not have an airtight seal. Our Turtl crawl space access system is designed to provide clean convenient access to your below-grade crawl space. It's made from rigid plastic so it will never rot, rust, corrode, or need paint! It's built to last and looks great on your home!

Dennis E. from Montogmery, IN called Healthy Spaces because water had been taking over his basement. When it would rain, he would be waiting for water to creep in, while the uncertainty of how much would enter his basement kept him worrying. He had a shopvac ready to soak up all of the water, as well as fans to help everything dry up quickly. Dennis and his family were ready to have their life back.

Design Specialist, Mike McAtee, was called to the job. After completing a thorough inspection of the basement, he decided that a WaterGuard system would best conquer the issues the basement was having. This is a drainage system installed around the perimeter of the basement that collects any water that may leak in. From there, the water runs to the sump pump, which is then disposed of out of discharge lines. Mike also inspected that GeoLocks were needed to help the basements foundation become stable. This system will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened over time if needed. This will allow for improvement and straightening of the wall. Lastly, CleanSpace was installed to be a wall covering, but also a moisture control barrier just in time for the hot summer months. 

When the work was finished, Dennis was very pleased with the work that was done and was happy that there won't be any more leaking water in his basement. 

Our friends from Jasper, IN were experiencing a damp, nasty crawl space. They began to notice an order, and as time progressed, the smell worsened. Friends and family that entered the home began to notice the smell when they walked in as well. One night, these homeowners heard our ad on the radio and decided to give us a call. 

Upon sending our System Design Specialist to do an inspection in the crawl space, we were able to pinpoint why the odors were coming from the crawl space. Mold had taken over, and the exposed earth was causing moisture and humidity. From here, our Design Specialist went over what could be done to solve these issues with the homeowner.

For starters, a mold remediation cleaning process would need to be done to begin the crawl space transformation. After this, a full CleanSpace encapsulation system to seal the outside earth from the crawl space. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier will keep any crawl space dry. It is a high-efficiency system that takes up to 100 pints of water per day. Since the crawl space is now a bright, healthy, functional, and dry space, it is perfect for storage and also increased the health of everyone in the family.
