Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A musty smell was wafting through Tim and Carol’s house due to heavy moisture in their crawl space. Our team installed CleanSpace in order to keep moisture out and SaniDry to get all the water vapor out of the air. CleanSpace is a plastic sheet material used as a vapor barrier to restrict all moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space. The SaniDry XP Basement Dehumidifier never needs to be emptied because the water drains automatically and it is ten times more powerful than typical dehumidifiers.

The crew took a trip out to Cadillac, MI to upgrade this crawl space’s encapsulation. After losing a sale because of the mold and standing water in there, the owner knew something needed to be done. Dirt floor crawl spaces allow moisture to pass through easily, so unless the barrier protecting the crawl space is impenetrable, mold will always be a threat. CleanSpace is an inorganic plastic barrier that won’t allow mold to grow, nor will it be penetrated by mold’s best friends: water vapor and humidity. The crew also installed a drain and SmartSump, so standing water is just as unwelcome in this crawl space as mold. If you’re worried about mold in your crawl space, let’s talk.

Andrew called when he noticed that the moisture in his crawl space was causing a musty smell inside and even all around the outside of the home. We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and replaced the ineffective traditional fiberglass insulation with inorganic and waterproof FrothPak to ensure that the crawl space is insulated without providing food for mold growth.

Carol M. called because she received a pre-mailer from us and noticed a picture of a crawl space that was encapsulated with CleanSpace. Carol was unhappy with her dirt crawl space and wanted it to look like the one in the picture. Little did she know a dirt crawl space is more than just an eyesore, it is actually causing many unknown problems for the homeowner. The exposed earth in her space is letting a constant stream of water vapor to enter creating an excess amount of moisture, which can lead to mold and rot. Unfortunately, any mold spores and smelly, wet or humid air will flow upward into her home due to the “Stack Effect”. The installation of CleanSpace will fix both the aesthetic in the space and the actual harmful effects of a dirt crawl space. CleanSpace is durable plastic liner that is perfectly sized and fastened securely to your crawl space walls. The liner is water and vapor proof with a microbial additive to prevent mold growth. Another added bonus with this liner is the bright white color that transforms your ugly, dirty crawl space into a clean, bright space. Thanks to CleanSpace, Carol now has the crawl space of her dreams.

A homeowner from Rockford Michigan was having crawl space issues so, he gave us a call to receive our professional help. We drove to his property and gave him a free estimate on his crawl space. During inspection we noticed some water issue with the crawl space so we decided to install our advanced CleanSpace technology. CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. Now, this homeowner should never have to worry about a bad crawlspace ever again thanks to CleanSpace.
