Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A couple's home was built in December, located in Boonville, IN, where moisture and condensation were the main concerns.  To fix moisture in a crawlspace, a SmartSump pump, CleanSpace, Silverglo, and SaniDry are installed.  An important tip to remember is that if the light is visible in a crawl space, then outside air is leaking in. The Sump pump will get rid of any water that is found in the crawlspace. Silverglo paneling has tiny graphite particles in its foam insulation to give it a silver/gray shine.  These particles reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity and result in energy savings. CleanSpace is laid out to protect the crawlspace from outside air leaks. The SaniDry Crawl Space Air System is situated to filter air and dehumidify at a high-efficiency rate. The couple will now have peace of mind knowing that they have a permanent solution to having a healthier living environment for their family. 

In Petersburg, IN, a homeowner was concerned about the health of their basement when it was discovered that water was in the crawl space of their home. Upon further inspection, cobwebs were existent in some areas of the crawl space. If spiders are finding a way inside the crawl space, then it is a sign that more critters can survive. Dust mites are something to watch out for in a crawl space. People with asthma and allergies will react to dust mite droppings.  

To the prevention of spiders and other critters from reaching into the crawl space, the area is sealed with CleanSpace. 

If you have buckling floors in your home, it may be time to schedule a free inspection with us. A similar occurrence happened with a homeowner in Carmi, IL, who had buckling floors in his home. The homeowner was concerned about moisture in his crawl space. Several negative effects can happen if moisture is escaping into your crawl space. Side effects include: buckling hardwood floors, mold, rotting, increased heating and cooling bills, and aggravated asthma and allergies. 

To seal off the crawl space from outdoor air that would otherwise disrupt the environment of the space, CleanSpace is installed. CleanSpace has an antimicrobial additive that prevents mold growth on the liner. A SmartSump is put in to carry water outside the crawl space through a discharge line that leads to outside. The moisture that was present had created buckling floors that needed to be stabilized with SmartJacks. The homeowner's crawl space was transformed into a healthy space where moisture was no longer welcomed! 

When moisture leaks into a crawl space, it can create a humid environment and it will cling to any organic materials, making them soft. This scenario is exactly what happened to a crawl space in Owensville, IN. A homeowner had creaking floors, that were caused by water vapor. Damp wood rots, which enables mold to grow on it. The homeowner wanted to waterproof his crawl space before the problem worsened anymore. 

A drainage matting was laid throughout the space for the CleanSpace to lay on top of. A drainage mat is helpful for water that comes in through the dirt ground to be carried to the sump pump. The CleanSPace is then laid on top of the drainage matting, sealing the floor and walls away from the outdoor air. To pump water out of the crawl space, that does not enter into the spaces in front of the ground, the SmartSump pump takes care of the problem! To create a constant airflow to prevent humidity, the SaniDry Sedona is hooked up. This dehumidifier disposes of water automatically by carrying any water vapor to the SmartSump. The homeowner was pleased to know that their home and health are protected. 

A homeowner in Evansville, IN needed his crawl space's vapor barrier protected, and knew that that was a job for Healthy Spaces. Upon inspection, the crawl space was humid and the dirt floors were damp underneath the black, 6 mil liner.  Fortunately, the humid climate was caught early, leaving the surfaces of the wooden beams mold-free. The homeowner needed the best possible solution set in place to prevent humidity, water, and mold in the crawl space. 

The crawl space was protected against a vapor barrier using CleanSpace to seal the floor and walls. Any water that comes through the ground will not affect the environment, but will instead be directed to the SmartSump that was installed. The crawl space was humid and needed to be controlled by using the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Once a reliable system was established, the homeowner will have peace.
