Before & After Photos

An unfinished basement in Nebraska receives a total makeover including a new finished living area and bathroom.

This crawlspace was experiencing an array of issues. It was extremely damp and had high humidity. This weakened the floor system, allowing it to sag and drop under the weight of the home. We encapsulated the entire crawlspace to fix these issues, making it a controlled environment. We then installed a Sedona dehumidifier to dry out the crawlspace and flooring system and prevent any future mold growth. Then we installed 8 galvanized steel beams and 16 smart jacks to to permanently stabilize the floors and lift them back into place, closing the gaps between the walls and ceiling. 

Susan was having issues with her crawlspace getting moisture in the area. Moisture in a crawlspace can cause further damage to the floor joints below, such as mold, rot, and beam failure. The crawlspace of your home must be protected to ensure there is no moisture getting in. This can affect your home above. 

For this project, CleanSpace was installed, which is a thick liner, like one in a pool. There was a drainage mat put underneath the CleanSpace, to ensure water and moisture can flow freely beneath the lining, and into the Sump Pump that was installed. A Sump Pump was put in, to help maintain a dry crawlspace, with the final product being a drain line, to help get the water out of the crawlspace. Susan can now rest easy that her crawlspace is protected from the elements.
