Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space was exposed to what we like to call "the open earth."  When your crawl space is exposed to dirt, it allows for moisture to rise up through the soil, and attaches to the wood, concrete walls, and anything else that you may have in your crawl space. Unfortunately, the moisture in this crawl space grew to mold on their wooden sil plate. To start this renovation, we replaced their sil plate. We then placed our CleanSpace liner all across the walls and floor of this crawl space, sealing it from the earth. The Clean Space liner, similar to a pool liner, is heavy duty and effective at blocking out moisture, bugs, cold air, dirt, and anything else unwanted in your crawl space. We finished by installing a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a Condensation pump. The SaniDry Sedona is one of our most coveted products, able to take moisture from the air and collect it in large quantities at a proficient rate. The condensation pump hooks up to the SaniDry Sedona and pumps out all the water it collects. 

This crawl space had ground water leaking from just underneath the floor. We installed a perimeter drainage system consisting of perforated pipes placed in trenches backfilled with gravel, all connected to a SmartSump sump pump. We then installed drainage matting and CleanSpace liner over the floor of the crawl space. We then hooked up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to the pump. We also insulated with SilverGlo panels over the CleanSpace on the walls. 

This wet crawl space in Eminence, KY, was falling apart due to excess moisture. The open vents and the dirt floor in the crawl space were allowing moisture to damage the floor joists and the fiberglass insulation. Mold was also a concern, as musty smells were emitting up into their living space above. By encapsulating it with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, our SilverGlo insulation, our drainage system, and our SmartSump sump pump, we were able to eliminate the moisture and insulate the crawl space. We also strengthened the floor joists by adding wooden sister joists, and by installing our SmartJack crawl space posts. We then topped it all off by sealing all the vents and joists with vent covers and spray foam insulation. The result is a crawl space that will provide the homeowners with clean air, savings on energy, and savings on costly repairs. 

Do you have a musty crawl space? Some people think they can tough it out with, "just the musty smells" but there are many more problems with a musty crawl space than the smells. Your crawl space will eat away at itself and the wood will rot. It's better to fix the musty smells right away than to try and tough it out until the wood rots, then you have to just fix it anyways.

In 2017, our trusted team visited a home in Bagdad, KY, for a foundation check, and honesty led us to reassure the homeowner their foundation was stable, saving them from unnecessary work. By 2024, their priority shifted to a chilly crawl space. As seen in the photo, we transformed this vital but overlooked space from cold and uninviting to a warm, energy-efficient area using our CleanSpace encapsulation, SilverGlow insulation, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Remarkably, comfort and peace of mind were restored, showcasing our commitment to lasting solutions and unparalleled customer journeys.
