Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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. 

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! 

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner found water in his crawl space and decided it was time to waterproof it before it became a bigger problem in the future. The crawl space's floor consisted of small pebbles and water puddles. The water sitting in the crawl space and the humidity created a musty smell in his house. If the issue was not dealt with, over time mold will develop. It was urgent to get his home back to smelling great and his home healthier! 

A dimple matting is placed over the pebbles to provide protection for the CleanSpace that is installed next. If dimple mating was not used, then the pebbles would have made small punctures in the CleanSpace liner over time if someone were to go down and move around. A SmartSump pump is installed to pump away water that enters the crawl space and carries it away from the home. A SaniDry Sedona is hooked up to create a dry airflow throughout the space. The homeowner was relieved to not have a musty smell in his home anymore. 

Haubstadt, IN, had been receiving a good amount of rain, causing a homeowner to reach out to us regarding still water on the crawl space ground. The water mixed with humidity had caused mold spores to spread on the wooden beams of the ceiling. If this is not taken care of soon, then the mold can eventually spread to the home's rooms and cause allergies for the homeowners. To prevent mold from spreading, water needs to be eliminated from the crawl space's floor. The homeowner was ready to take the next step of creating a healthy home. 

To eliminate the mold, there needs to be a system set in place for water to leave the crawl space. A SmartSump was the best solution! The SmartSump includes a quality, sturdy cast iron pump that lasts longer than plastic pumps. CleanSpace is laid across the crawl space to completely seal off the space from the outdoor air. This will create an "indoor" environment that makes it safe to store items in the crawl space. Once the space is sealed and mold remediation is performed, the SaniDry Sedona is hooked up to create a constant dry airflow throughout the space. The homeowner was pleased to find a bright clean space that was mold-free. 

Mold is a common issue with untreated crawl spaces. Whenever the crawl space is not properly sealed, such as in a Birdseye, IN home, mold can irritate homeowners with asthma or allergies. Long exposure to mold can cause asthma in someone who never had it before. There was standing water in the crawl space and humidity lingered in the air. The water needed to be controlled while humidity needed to be banished by creating a dry airflow. The homeowner was ready to remove any mold in the crawl space in hopes of protecting their health. To seal the crawl space away from outdoor air, CleanSpace is laid across the floor. CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner with an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, preventing mold growth on the liner. This is odorless and safe. All mold was scrubbed and sprayed away through mold remediation. To prevent water from having the ability to remain on the ground, CleanSpace acts as a protective layer that not only keeps the crawl space protected from water vapor, but it will direct any water flow from the ground, towards the SmartSump. The SmartSump will continue to pump out water away from the home. The SaniDry Sedona is the best solution for dehumidifying the space. It creates a constant dry airflow and will empty any water vapor outdoors.
