Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: A Crawlspace Transformation in Rockport, IN

Larry and Melina H. from Rockport, Indiana called Healthy Spaces because their crawl space was musty and smelly, and the floors in their house were sagging. These are all telltale signs of long term water issues, which we confirmed upon inspection. They scheduled a free inspection and we sent Residential Pro, Abe Ford out. We used the CleanSpace vapor barrier system to encapsulate the crawl space, which will protect it from ambient moisture, and installed SilverGlo insulation panels. We also installed SmartJack crawl space support posts to stabilize and reinforce the floor joists, which had begun sinking due in part to the constant ambient moisture in the crawl space.

Ineffective Insulation in Crawl Space

Fiberglass insulation is a terrible idea for basements and crawl spaces. This is because it's absorbent, and thus absorbs any ambient moisture in the air. Since basements and crawl spaces often have humidity issues, the insulation quickly sucks up all of the water and then becomes a waterlogged mess and eventually falls into a useless heap.

Humid Crawl Space in Rockport, IN

Dirty, waterlogged insulation, efflorescence on the walls, and water damaged wooden beams are all ingredients for a nightmare crawl space. Here, you can see the mold taking over the wooden beams.

Crawl Space Prior to Installation

Crawl spaces are often dark, dirty, and are out of a homeowner's mind. Before we lay down the CleanSpace vapor barrier, all debris is removed.

Remediating Mold in the Crawl Space

Our mold remediation process ensures that mold won't be a pest anymore. You will also begin to notice no more nasty smells in your home.

Foundation Support

SmartJacks support weakening floor beams that have suffered the effects of mold and wood rot.

After Mold Remediation

As you can see, the beam is now clean from mold and other debris. We recommend one of our service technicians come out once a year for an annual maintenace appointment to make sure your crawl space stays dry and mold free.

CleanSpace Protects Crawl Space from Humidity

Say goodbye to the wet walls and waterlogged insulation. The CleanSpace system protects the crawl space - and the house above it - from ambient moisture.
