Before & After Photos

Richland, IN homeowner Erin T. knew her crawl space wasn't in the best shape when she bought her home a few years ago. As time passed, she noticed her home gradually gaining a musty odor she didn't like. Every time she would come home and open the door, the smell would hit her. She gave Healthy Spaces a call and we set her up a free inspection.

One of our System Design Specialists, Mike McAtee, came to the rescue! He did a thorough inspection of Erins crawl space and sat down with her to discuss what he found. First of all, mold. This is what was causing the musty odor in her home. He recommended sending our mold crew out to remediate it, and she agreed. Along with that, he recommended having her crawl space encapsulated with CleanSpace. This durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

Thanks to our crews, Erin can now walk into her home without a horrid smell hitting her.

Crawlspaces are notorious for having mold problems and being incredibly energy inefficient.  This crawlspace in Elberfeld, IN was pretty typical for crawlspaces in the area: dirt floor, occasional flooding, open vents and doorways, and uninsulated walls.  The experts at Healthy Spaces set out to change the space for the homeowners into an area that would be conditioned and energy efficient.  In this case, the entire crawlspace was treated for mold and the existing, moldy insulation was removed.  Every surface was scrubbed and the floor leveled.  Next, the installation team insulated with the walls with a product called SilverGlo.  It's a high efficiency, mold resistant panel insulation secured around the inside of the foundation walls.  The spaces in between the subfloor joists are also insulated and secured in place with expanding foam insulation.  Once those components are set and dried, the team will encapsulate the entire crawlspace with CleanSpace.  The crawlspace will then be isolated from the dirt and outside air, allowing for greater energy efficiency and warmer floors this season!

Homeowner John R. of Owensboro, KY needed a solution for his damp, dirty crawl space. Over the years, the space had become a mess, sending unwanted smells into their home above. After consulting a neighbor, they made a call to Healthy Spaces and System Design Specialist, Auston Bruder provided him with a free inspection. 

The mold and crawl space crews were able to remediate the mold and encapsulate the crawl space using our CleanSpace liner. This transformed the crawl space into a dry, bright usable area beneath their home. John doesn't notice any nasty smells coming from his crawl space anymore and is very pleased with the way his project turned out. 

Our client in Chandler, IN, had a crawl space adjacent to their basement that was under only one room on the main floor. There appeared to be moisture and potential mold in the space. It also had insulation that would likely need to be replaced. They called Healthy Spaces to help determine their best option for fixing their crawl space. 

To eliminate the moisture problem, System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, proposed installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Installing a vapor barrier slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air. The CleanSpace vapor barrier turns your crawl space into a semi-conditioned space. When that occurs, your floors feel warmer in the winter and your energy bills go down.

Here, you can see the old sump pump system before the installation team replaced it.  The pump does not have a lid, which created a bad situation--when the pump became overwhelmed, it simply allowed the water to pour out on top of the liner!

In the second picture, you can see that the installation team has completed the installation of a cast-iron Zoeller® sump pump with a reliable liner, a sump alarm, and a battery back up system.  The SmartSump and the CleanSpace are designed to fit together in a way that keep moisture in the pump, not on top of the liner.
