Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Wendy’s crawl space was very cold and was starting to make corners frost in the room above. So our team installed CleanSpace, a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. Not only does this system create an energy-efficient crawl space, but it also gives your crawl space a clean finish. This material will be applied to your floors and walls to create a sleek look and an uninterrupted barrier. Therefore, this system will restrict air movement, keeping her crawl space at a normal temperature.

The homeowners had mold and moisture in there basement and crawl space areas. Controlling what goes into your crawl space begins with your crawl space door. Crawl space doors that are simply cut from plywood and loosely fitted allow pests, moisture and outside air to get into the space. To make matters worse, wood will crack and warp over time requiring repainting or even replacement. Our team saw this problem and knew the homeowners needed a solution.  

The EverLast crawl space door is made of plastic that is just about indestructible. There are several different door colors available so you can match your homes color scheme. EverLast doors will never warp, shrink, crack or require maintenance or painting. The air and water seal on the door ensures that your crawl space is protected from pests, moisture and outside air.

Wendy contacted us becuase she had a crawl space that was very cold and was starting to frost the corners of the room above the crawl space. The crawl space also had a musty smell which is a sign of mold. Upon inspection we found no puddling but excessive humidity can cause the same issue.

We installed the CleanSpace liners and SilverGlo insulation. The CleanSpace liners are very durable thick liners that resembles a pool liner. This liner keeps moisture, mold, pests, and bacteria from penetrating the crawl space. The SilverGlo insulation panels contain tiny graphite particles, which give it that silver shine, and reflect heat back into the crawl space while keeping the cold out.

The combination of the CleanSpace liner and SilverGlo, Wendy's crawl space is now smell free, mold free, and warm. By keeping moisture and cold air out she will also have lower energy costs!

The crawl space in the before photo had a few issues that were holding up the sale of the home. A potential buyer had recently seen the home and was willing to purchase it, but insisted that the owner permanently rid the crawl space of the water and musty smell in it. While the owners wanted the problem solved as soon as possible, they asked that we wait until August when they finished a few more of the repairs in preparation for the sale. The solution in the after photo is our CleanSpace vapor barrier system that will permanently solve the moisture issues in this crawl space for the current and future owners. Not only will the liner keep out moisture, it will also block out the odor that was causing the musty smell in the crawl space. The barrier will be the perfect selling component for the home.

Our customer had a cold, damp, and moldy crawl space that was making his house just as cold. After installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier system, we installed SilverGlo insulation panels, which not only insulate the crawl space, but are mold and moisture resistant.
