Eliminating Mold in Crawl Space in Chrisney, IN

Homeowners in Chrisney, IN were purchasing this home. When they had an inspection done, the inspection report flagged the crawl space for having mold. With one of their children having terrible allergies, they knew that something had to be done before moving into this home. Their realtor told them about Healthy Spaces Fix It To List It program which offers priority scheduling and will only perform a full evaluation on what's listed on the inspection report. 

In the before photo, you can still see the mold on the wood. Mold issues can dramatically lower the value of your home, and any house with significant mold problems will be difficult to sell. Additionally, mold can lead to serious structural damage to your home, which can be expensive and unsafe.

In the after photo, you can see that our product has been applied. It foams on contact with the affected area to provide visual identification of the problems & allows us to clean and restore the structural surfaces in the crawl space. Some companies might only clean with disinfectants, addressing only surface soil load. The problem with this is it only cleans the surface soil load, leaving behind dirt, debris, pollen, mold. The product that we use cleans beyond the soil load and accomplishes total source removal leaving behind a contaminate free surface. 

Homeowners in Chrisney, IN, are now protected from regrowth and will have a drier, healthier space in their crawl space. 

Dirt Crawl Space in Chrisney, IN

Homeowners in Chrisney, IN knew that their dirt crawl space had excess moisture in the air causing mold and could eventually lead to structural damage. 

BEFORE: Moisture that enters the crawl space through the soil or vents can ruin insulation and also encourage mold growth and wood rot. 

 

AFTER: Healthy Spaces installed a vapor barrier liner. Installing a vapor barrier will not only create a healthier living space but can save you money on your utility bills. We recommended doing a full encapsulation with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier because it's the most effective in preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. It also protects your structure and insulation from mold. But they asked to wait a couple of months before doing a full encapsulation in their crawl space. 

Jasper, IN Home Crawl Space Repaired

Our friends from Jasper, IN were experiencing a damp, nasty crawl space. They began to notice an order, and as time progressed, the smell worsened. Friends and family that entered the home began to notice the smell when they walked in as well. One night, these homeowners heard our ad on the radio and decided to give us a call. 

Upon sending our System Design Specialist to do an inspection in the crawl space, we were able to pinpoint why the odors were coming from the crawl space. Mold had taken over, and the exposed earth was causing moisture and humidity. From here, our Design Specialist went over what could be done to solve these issues with the homeowner.

For starters, a mold remediation cleaning process would need to be done to begin the crawl space transformation. After this, a full CleanSpace encapsulation system to seal the outside earth from the crawl space. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier will keep any crawl space dry. It is a high-efficiency system that takes up to 100 pints of water per day. Since the crawl space is now a bright, healthy, functional, and dry space, it is perfect for storage and also increased the health of everyone in the family. 

Problems In Crawl Space in Jasper, IN

The key to solving your crawl space problem is to turn your nasty crawl space into a nice crawl space, which is exactly what our client in Jasper, IN did! Their home previously had a 6 mil polyethylene ground cover, but because it wasn't sealed at the perimeter up the walls, and because the vents were left open, this crawl space had a lot of moisture that eventually turned to mold. Another big problem with 6 mil poly is that it easily rips and gets holes poked in it when you crawl on it. This is not a permanent solution!

The team at Healthy Spaces installed drainage matting underneath the CleanSpace liner, which allows water to flow to a sump in a crawl space that already has a concrete floor. Next, we sealed the entire crawl space with a 20 mil thick plastic liner, similar to a pool liner called CleanSpace. This bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through.

A Crawl Space Comeback: Clean, Sealed, and Secured in Jasper, Indiana

 

From damp, musty, and vulnerable to clean, controlled, and protected—this Jasper homeowner partnered with Healthy Spaces to completely transform their crawl space into a healthier, more efficient environment beneath their home.

 

Here’s how we brought this space back to life, step by step:

 

We began with fungus remediation, eliminating existing microbial growth to protect both the home’s structure and indoor air quality. After that, we applied a professional-grade cleaning solution and thoroughly scrubbed all exposed wood surfaces, removing residue and preparing the area for long-term protection. A barrier treatment was then applied to help prevent future fungal growth and moisture damage.

 

Next came insulation upgrades designed for performance and durability. We installed SilverGlo insulation panels, which are specifically engineered to reflect heat, regulate temperature, and reduce humidity levels within the crawl space. This helps keep floors warmer in winter and limits excess moisture that can lead to mold and structural issues.

 

We also added spray foam insulation at the rim joists, one of the most common areas for air leaks. This creates an airtight seal, preventing outside air, moisture, and pests from entering while significantly improving the home’s overall energy efficiency.

To ensure a clean foundation for the system, we removed all debris from the crawl space, eliminating anything that could trap moisture or interfere with the installation.

 

For long-term moisture control, we installed drainage matting beneath the CleanSpace liner. This layer allows any ground moisture to properly flow underneath the system, preventing buildup and enhancing the effectiveness of the encapsulation. The CleanSpace liner itself acts as a durable vapor barrier, sealing off the earth and locking out humidity.

 

Finally, behind the scenes, our team handled all administrative and project coordination, ensuring everything from material staging to warranty setup and ongoing training was completed to the highest standard—so the homeowner can have complete peace of mind.

 

 

The result?

A crawl space that’s no longer a source of concern—but a clean, dry, energy-efficient asset to the home.
