Before & After Photos

This home was struggling with moisture seeping into the wood under the house. They weren't ready for an encapsulation system yet, but they wanted to get their wood protected and chose our LumberKote application to do the job. LumberKote is a non-toxic lumber sealant that protects wood from natural elements that can cause excessive moisture absorption. It provides a durable polymer micro-film that creates a physical barrier between lumber and the external environment. 

Moisture in the crawlspace was causing this home's floors to buckle inside the living area. Melissa Johnson, one of our talented Design Specialists, performed the inspection and estimate on this home. 

From our estimate, the customer agreed that this was the best way forward and had the encapsulation put in. We cleaned out any debris and were careful not to disturb the wires, pipes, and other units down in the crawlspace. Now his crawlspace will stay free of moisture and his floors won't buckle or cup again. 

This concerned homeowner called because her floors were soft and sagging in places. She was also noticing some cracks in the walls of her dining room. They had tried patching them up, but it was obvious they were getting worse. The home was settling and needed to be stabilized. 

Ransom Ford performed the inspection and found our solutions would work well with her current issues. We were able to seal off the crawlspace with our encapsulation system, permanently keeping moisture and mold from coming in and making the wood soft. Then we installed smart jacks on the beams that needed the extra lift and support. We were able to raise her floors where they were sagging and permanently secure her foundation.

This Petal homeowner called for an inspection because they were having some moisture and mold issues under their house. This was due to having a dirt crawlspace and open venting. Originally, it was thought that vents would circulate dry air throughout the crawlspace, thus keeping it dry. That is false. Once air enters the crawlspace, it is trapped, making the humidity levels rise. All this humid air will travel up into your home making the AC units work harder to keep up with the draft. 

Our encapsulation system totally seals off the crawlspace so humid air stays where it belongs; outside. We install a sump pump in the ground to rid the crawlspace of ground water seepage. Then, we install our 20 mil liner and waterproof the ground and walls. Topping it off, we put a dehumidifier in to keep the air dry and healthy. This system together is proven to regulate the crawlspace atmosphere and prevent moisture from building up and creating issues. 

This customer had insulation in their crawlspace that was causing mold to form. We came in, cleaned out the insulation, cleaned the mold, then put in our encapsulation system to help dry everything out and keep the mold from coming back!
