Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Contractors in Eminence, Kentucky

This crawl space in Eminence, KY, was in rough shape due to excessive moisture. With open vents and a bare dirt floor, damp air was seeping in, weakening the floor joists and ruining the fiberglass insulation. The homeowners also noticed musty odors creeping into their living space, signaling potential mold growth. To resolve these issues, we fully encapsulated the crawl space using our CleanSpace vapor barrier, installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, added SilverGlo insulation, and put in a reliable drainage system along with our SmartSump sump pump. To reinforce the structure, we strengthened the floor joists with wooden sister joists, and we installed SmartJack crawl space posts for added support. Finally, we sealed off the vents and joists with vent covers and spray foam insulation. Now, this crawl space is dry, energy-efficient, and built to last—giving the homeowners cleaner air and long-term peace of mind.

A Treated Crawl Space

All of the systems placed in this crawl space will help save the owners from costly repairs and from unhealthy air. Our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier can be seen next to the sump pump in the back of this photo.

Vapor Barrier and Insulation Panels

Our white CleanSpace vapor barrier effectively seals the crawl space from moisture, dirt, and drafts. The SilverGlo panels seen along the wall will help keep the floors in this home warm in the winter.

Crawl Space Posts

Our steel SmartJacks were designed to dissipate the weight of the home across the floor of the crawl space so that they don't sink. However, they can be adjusted if needed be.

Drainage Matting

Concealed under the vapor barrier is our drainage system. We ran perforated pipes around the perimeter of the crawl space under the floor, which lead to the sump pump. We also have dimpled drainage matting all across the floor, underneath the vapor barrier. This drainage matting gives space for water to move underneath the vapor barrier. The matting also makes the vapor barrier softer and stronger to crawl over.
