Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This started off as a damp, moldy crawlspace. The customer was looking to remediate the mold and encapsulate the space. Here we started by removing the old insulation and cleaning the mold with our Mold X2 Cleaner and botanical solution. Next, Rim Tight Spray Foam was added to the joist area and SilverGlo thermal insulated panels were installed on the perimeter walls. We then laid down Cleanspace Drainage Matting and our Cleanspace Liner to encapsulate the space. To waterproof the area, we installed a Waterguard sub-floor drainage system along with a Supersump System which features a cast-iron Zoeller M63 sump pump, airtight lid and a floor drain. Lastly, we installed a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the humidity low and an Ultrasump 4 battery back-up system to guard against flooding during a power outage.

The extremely high moisture levels in this customer's crawlspace had caused significant damage to the center support beam. Here we used existing piers and temporary jacks to lift the floor off the old cracked and rotting beam so we could replace it with new, pressure-treated lumber. Once we replaced the beam, we advised this customer to have a sump system and dehumidifier installed in order to keep the high moisture levels in check.

This customer's crawlspace was wet, moldy and in dire need of attention. We started here by removing the old insulation and doing a full mold remediation. Nextt we added Silverglo insulated wall panels around the perimeter of the crawlspace. We then installed our Cleanspace drainage matting and Cleanspace liner which will provide a barrier against moisture and water intrusion. We also installed a Supersump sump pump system, this system come with a liner, a cast iron pump, a pump stand and an airtight lid with a built-in floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. Lastly, we installed a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier to check the humidity levels in check.

A wet crawlspace or basement is not something any homeowner wants to deal with when they move into their new home and with this knowledge, this customer knew, before they could put their home on the market, they would need to correct the issue of a leaky crawlspace.

After we sent our inspector Keith Miller to evaluate the crawlspace, he saw that the customer already had a working sump pump in play, but there was no way for the water that was getting into the crawlspace, to get over to the sump pump. Right away Keith knew the solution to this wet crawlspace was our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and our Waterguard. The Cleanspace will direct any water intrusion down to the Waterguard which will then direct that water over to their current sump pump to be pumped out of the crawlspace.

This customer had a very damp and humid crawlspace that was causing mold to grow and the current insulation to fall down. To start off this project we first removed all the old damp insulation and then treated the mold with our Mold-X2 treatment. Next we installed our SilverGlo insulation wall panels and sprayed our RimTight spray foam insulation. Following our insulation install we put down our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, install a SmartPump with Smart Pipe and then we finish up the install with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.
