Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Jerry called our team because he had moisture in his crawl space. So we insulated his rim joists because small cracks and seams can exist around them. However, after insulating rim joists all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow of air and moisture is restricted which will prevent moisture from entering Jerry’s crawl space.

There was standing water in Jim’s crawl space so he called our team. We installed CleanSpace, an uninterrupted vapor barrier made from a plastic sheet material that will be applied to your walls and floor. It will restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space creating an energy-efficient crawl space.

One morning our call center received a call from Pamela, a local homeowner in Battle Creek, MI. She told us that she had a feeling the cold moist air in her crawlspace might be affecting the temperature throughout her home. Pamela also admitted that she was worried about the sagging support beam below her home. She had seen multiple Ayers Basement Systems commercials on TV and knew as the local experts we could likely provide her with effective solutions.

After assessing Pamela’s crawlspace needs, we prescribed our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the current moisture issues being faced below her home. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm thick plastic lining that completely seals off the crawl space from the grim elements it faces below. We determined the cement block supports under Pamela’s home were no longer stabilizing her home. To supplement the CleanSpace and support her home we installed two Smart Jacks. The Smart Jack is a supplemental support system for crawl space applications. The Smart Jack effectively supports sagging beams and floor joists caused by, a length of span greater than spanning capability, floor load increased after construction, exceeding design values, and weakening over time due to high moisture and rot. With this dynamic system in place, it became evident that Pamela’s cranky crawlspace was no match for our level of expertise.

Water was entering a homeowner’s crawl space so he called our team to discuss encapsulation options. We installed SilverGlo, a set of waterproof foam panels. This system is used on the walls of your crawl space in order to insulate it. Uninsulated crawl spaces cost you money each year by increasing your heating and cooling bills. SilverGlo blocks all moisture and is made of inorganic material which prevents mold, rot or mildew from forming. Overall, it will keep this homeowner’s crawl space dry and insulated which will save him lots of money over the years.

Jerry was having some issues with moisture in his crawl space and wanted it closed off.  We first laid down drainage matting which has dimples to direct the flow of water to the sump pump. Next, we installed the CleanSpace liner which is a thick durable liner similar to a pool liner. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through. It keeps your crawl space dry which protects your structure and insulation from mold and rot. We then insulated the crawl space with SilverGlo which contains graphite particles to increase insulating properties and make sure his house stayed warm in the cooler months.
