Before & After Photos

Buckling floors had become a frequent problem for these homeowners. Once replaced, not even two weeks had gone by before he noticed the same issues coming back. In order to keep these floors from buckling again, we'd have to tackle the actual source - crawl space moisture. As you can see in the first image, this crawl space had been left completely exposed. Moisture from the ground and openings to the outside contributed to the high humidity that was affecting these floors so quickly. In order to prevent this, we sealed off the crawl space and installed in our encapsulation system. The second image might look like a whole new space, but it is the exact same spot on the underside of this home, now fitted with our high quality CleanSpace Liner. This barrier, along with our crawl space dehumidification and sump pump systems, creates a dry and managed space, where humidity can't thrive, and moisture problems are eliminated. These floors have never been safer!

Whenever it rained, water from the nearby slope would send water directly into this homeowner's crawl spaces. Overtime, this created a bad moisture/humidity problem. The effects could be seen on the top side of their home, most noticeably the buckling floors. In order to take care of this moisture problem and prevent further damage, our crew came in to seal off the crawl space and install our encapsulation system. This system includes multiple different ways to fight moisture, like the CleanSpace Barrier you can see in the photos. Combine this durable vapor barrier with our crawl space dehumidifer, sump pump system, and an airtight crawl space door, and the perfect solution is formed. This crawl space is now safe from runoff, water intrusion, and high humidity levels!

In order to combat the moisture issues they were facing, these homeowners originally had someone come in and install a standard vapor barrier. Over the years, the same problems persisted, and if you look at the before image, it isn't hard to tell why. We found the barrier withered, torn, and exposed. It was time for an upgrade! That is where our CleanSpace Liner comes in. This liner is much more durable and resistant than your average vapor barrier. Rather than just being placed on the ground, the CleanSpace Liner is fastened to each part of the crawl space, including the walls and supports. It also works together as part of a complete system with some of our other crawl space products, including the dehumidifier you can see in the after image. These combined create the encapsulation system, which is made to fight moisture from all forms and directions - intrusion, standing, and humidity.

This cusotmer had a vapor barrier laid before we got here and as you can see it has moved around and it not doing it's job properly. We came in and did a full encapsulation making sure that this barrier would never move! 

Just because this crawlspace looked good before doesn't mean it didn't haven problems. This customer was dealing with issues like musty smells, cold floors in the winter, and buckling floors in the summer. We were able to encapsulate this crawlspace which eliminated the moisture problems that will prevent issues in the future with their floors and musty smells.
