Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A crawl space in Leitchfield, KY, had wet floors with no plastic sheets laid throughout the space. This caused the family to reach out about their concerns. Crawl spaces need to be protected from any outside air that could potentially cause humidity or water to enter the crawl space. This can invite critters or mold to enter. If the crawl space is turned into an “inside” environment rather than an “outdoor” environment, then a dry airflow will be constant. To protect the crawl space from future issues, it would need to close all cracks in the space that have light entering in.

To create a peaceful mindset for the family about the health of their home, CleanSpace was laid out on the floors and walls. CleanSpace is a 20-mil thick plastic liner that completely seals off crawl space from the earth. A bonus to installing CleanSpace is that the crawl space can be used as storage if needed. A SaniDry Sedona was hooked up to create an ongoing dry airflow throughout the crawl space. A SmartSump Pump is put in to pump out water that is beneath the CleanSpace and wherever else, outside. The family felt reassured that their home would be a space to continue thriving in and having extra storage space was a plus!

A modernized and clean crawl space was a wish for a homeowner in Hanson, KY. Modernizing a crawl space can be a good thing if done correctly. The crawl space consisted of pink insulation that is considered “out of date” compared to the great innovations that can be installed. The pink insulation is pointless because if it gets humid in a crawl space, it will drip down and not work as intended. Upgrading to a dry, clean crawl space is any homeowner’s dream!
The pink insulation is referred to as fiberglass floor insulation, and when moisture is mixed in the air, it is a very bad combination! The insulation was taken out of the crawl space while CleanSpace was put all around the floor and sides of the space. This type of liner will save you more money than fiberglass insulation since it protects the space from the outside climate. A SmartSump Pump and SaniDry Sedona are installed in the space. The SaniDry Sedona will create a dry air flow at all times. Once the crawl space was completed, the homeowner had a modernized, money-saving space!

In Henderson KY, a family reached out about a concern that water puddles were in their crawl space. A swimming pool is fun, but water in a crawl space? No thank you! Water in crawl spaces can create humidity and then mold can grow in any processed organic areas. When a crawl space has any open areas, then the climate outdoors will sneak in, which is something that can be prevented.
A great entryway that the family decided to purchase was the Turtl.  The Turtl is a brown entry door that can be locked from the outside and seals the crawl space off from the outdoor environment. CleanSpace was installed throughout the crawl space to prevent water from reaching the crawl space air.  A SmartSump Pump and SaniDry Sedona were installed.  A SmartSump Pump helps pump water out of the crawl space while the SaniDry Sedona keeps the air dry. Once the crawl space was completed with all the necessities, the family was ecstatic to know that their space would be protected for years to come!

A homeowner in Owensboro, KY reached out about a concern about mold growing in the crawl space. When mold spores find the right combination of temperature, food source, and moisture, they will start to grow. When mold grows, it reproduces more airborne seeds to grow more mold. Just like a dandelion seed, mold seeds are like tiny parachutes that float through the air. Ending the mold spore cycle will protect the homeowner in the future. 

To give the homeowner a sense of security, mold remediation was performed throughout the crawl space. Every nick and cranny where mold was seen, was scrubbed and sprayed away. To protect the crawl space from any outside air leaks or water, CleanSpace was laid throughout the ground and sides of the crawl space. A SaniDry Sedona was hooked up to create a dry air flow since mold can thrive in 70% to 90% humidity. Once the mold is controlled and prevented, the homeowner will have peace of mind knowing that their health is not at risk. 

In Marion, Ky, a homeowner was interested in purchasing a vapor barrier and insulation for their crawl space. Without a vapor barrier, mold and water could damage the crawl space. Whenever there is a vapor barrier, it will protect the environment of the crawl space by keeping all gaps or air from entering the space. The key to a healthy crawl space is to make it dry! The reason for making a crawl space dry is because mold spores and water will not be able to thrive in their type of environment. A bright white liner called CleanSpace, never fails to save the day! Before the CleanSpace is installed, a brown dimple matting is laid throughout the space to create extra support for the CleanSpace but also direct water to the sump pump. Clean Space was used to cover the entire floor and sides of the space to create an "indoor" atmosphere. A dehumidifier called the SaniDry Sedona effectively creates a dry airflow 24/7. A SmartSump Pump system is installed to remove any water entering the crawl space. The homeowner was pleasantly satisfied with a functional system set in place to continuously create a healthy environment.
