Before & After Photos

Here is a look at a crawlspace that we tackled in Moss Point, Mississippi. One of our crews, led by our foreman, David, neatly laid down a durable Cleanspace Liner on the floor of the crawlspace and wrapped it up the supports of the crawlspace. This isn't just a fresh new look, it is a serious protection against moisture seepage and intrusion. Unpictured, is our crawlspace dehumidifier, also installed in this crawlspace to bring the varying humidity levels down to safe, stable percentage. 

The contractor for this home in Tylertown called our office on behalf of their customer. They were struggling with a mildew problem that had grown from the crawlspace into the home as well. The dirt under the home was holding moisture creating an environment for mold growth that leads to rot. This is what causes the mildew smell to travel. 

Brett DiBiase designed a waterproofing solution using our system to cure the moisture issues and keep them from returning. We treated the mold, installed our CleanSpace liner, sump pump, and dehumidifier system, and left the crawlspace better than when we found it.

Water puddling under the home is never a good sign about the health of your crawlspace. This customer called to schedule an estimate on what it would take to fix it. Rick Killingsworth performed her inspection and was able to present to her the value of our encapsulation. Not only does it prevent musty smells and mold from forming, but because it insulates the crawlspace as well, it will save $$ in the long run on energy bills.

Hearing about our company on the radio, this Summit Mississippi homeowner gave us a call about his crawlspace. He had vent fans in his crawlspace and was having severe mold and moisture issues; so much so that his sub floor was rotting out below him. Melissa Johnson performed the initial inspection and gave him a free quote on what our solution would be. In the many years we've been fixing crawlspaces, we've found that ventilation is root cause for moisture. Allowing outside air to penetrate under the house causes it to get trapped and build up. This moisture will latch on to anything that will hold it, especially wood. Unfortunately this means the joists and subfloor. Once it has enough moisture buildup, mold will start to grow. If not treated immediately and properly, mold will rapidly take over and create musty smells in your home and concurrently rot out any wood in the crawlspace. 

Before we began work, we treated the mold with our powerful Mold-X2 spray. This rids the wood of mold in seconds. Not only will it benefit your crawlspace, but it allows our crew to work in a safer environment. Our solution is to treat your crawlspace like you would the inside of your home. We seal up all the vents and wrap the crawlspace in our 20 mil CleanSpace liner to create a moisture barrier from the outside air. We also add a sump pump in the ground to collect ground water moisture that moves under the liner. This will automatically pump it out and away from the crawlspace. Finishing the system, we install a dehumidifier to regulate the humidity under the house. 

This customer had replaced their floors, found water on the plastic sheeting in their crawl space, had duct work re-insulated, cleaned the crawl space, and put in 4 exhaust fans trying to repair the moisture problem with his home. None of these solutions solved his issues. A MCS customer found out about his struggles and gave him our name. He called our office and was able to get an inspection done that day! Corey Becker performed the inspection and showed him photos of what was going on. He introduced him to our encapsulation system and the customer decided that was the best way forward. Cody and his crew performed the work. Crawl space repair is our specialty and we were able to save another home from water damage!
