Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Moisture and vapor were leaking into a customer's crawl space so she asked us to seal off her crawl space. We insulated her rim joists to completely close off her crawl space. Small cracks and seams can exist around rim joists, but after insulating them all of those cracks are sealed off. Now flow is restricted keeping vapor and moisture out.

Our customer called with "excessive dampness" throughout her basement and the small attached crawl space. Adding to the problem was that the crawl space was tiny - no more than two feet high and not entirely dug out - but still in need of encapsulation to prevent it being a further problem.

We used WaterGuard below-floor drain to get the basement portion's problems under control, and CleanSpace vapor barrier to encapsulate the crawl space and protect against ambient moisture.

Tim’s finished basement has been encountering water intrusion issues. There are no noticeable cracks and this isn't the first time water has entered his basement. So he called our team and we installed the CleanSpace Basement Finishing Wall System to prevent any more water intrusion. Using a poly sheet material to completely cover his basement foundation walls, this system acts as a vapor and moisture barrier. The material is waterproof, stain resistant and can be applied over many different types of surfaces. This system was perfect for Tim by putting a stop to all water intrusion in his basement immediately.

After this crawl space was penetrated by water back in the early spring, the homeowners gave us a call to find out more about their repair options. When our system design specialist arrived he noticed that there was no standing water, but the crawl space was extremely moist. To counter this problem, he drew up a plan for a SaniDry CX dehumidifier and a SmartSump sump pump. SmartSump is our solution for providing sump pumps inside of crawl spaces.  The sump is smaller sized but powerful enough to keep any crawl space dry. SaniDry CX dehumidifiers are self-draining, so the moisture that was so prevalent in the crawl space when our design specialist visited won’t occur again. The dehumidifier can be seen hanging from the ceiling in the after photo with a hose connecting it to the SmartSump for discharge. Neither moisture nor standing water will be a problem for this crawl space again.

This couple in Holland,MI wanted to clean up and encapsulate their crawlspace, hopefully making it a usable storage space for kayaks and other water sports supplies. We were able to help them accomplish that goal thanks to our durable CleanSpace material. Most moisture barriers from crawl spaces consist of thin plastic that easily rips and doesn't attach well to walls. The CleanSpace material is strong and thick and is difficult to rip. SilverGlo insulation also lines the walls to help reflect warmth back into the home and frothpak in the rim joists and cracks helps to seal off any openings. This crawl space is now in tip top shape.
