Before & After Photos

Our client in Chandler, IN, had a crawl space adjacent to their basement that was under only one room on the main floor. There appeared to be moisture and potential mold in the space. It also had insulation that would likely need to be replaced. They called Healthy Spaces to help determine their best option for fixing their crawl space. 

To eliminate the moisture problem, System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, proposed installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Installing a vapor barrier slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air. The CleanSpace vapor barrier turns your crawl space into a semi-conditioned space. When that occurs, your floors feel warmer in the winter and your energy bills go down.

This Newburgh, IN home was experiencing regular crawlspace flooding due to the high water table in the area. The homeowners knew that simply installing a vapor barrier was not sufficient--they had two previous vapor barriers fail. They also needed a state of the art, energy efficient, durable sump pump system to remove ground water from below the vapor barrier.

The homeowners met with Healthy Spaces to discuss having their crawlspace encapsulated and waterproofed. The most efficient sump pump for their needs was a SuperSump--a Zoeller sump pump with some very important features contributing to its longevity. For example, the SuperSump has an airtight lid that will isolate the encapsulated crawlspace from the water in the sump basket. There is also a WaterWatch alarm in the sump pump lid, which will alert the homeowners if the pump becomes overwhelmed.

Newburgh, IN resident Scot D. was troubled by his wet crawl space. Water leaked in and caused a moldy, musty environment. The mold risked the integrity and health of his home. He did previously have a vapor barrier, but it obviously wasn't doing its job. 

Healthy Spaces installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier, so it keeps water out without supporting mold growth.

Scott is thrilled with this new space.

 Water and faulty discharge lines never lead to anything good.  This homeowner noticed his crawl space was in seriously bad shape after flooding and never draining properly took its tole. Design Specialist, Jimmy Schaefer, took a thorough look and quickly came to a conclusion..the crawlspace was in need of encapsulation and a SmartSump pump system.  EZ Flow drain and Ice guard also needed to be implemented to control any flooding and excess water

SmartSump pump system was installed which included a cast iron pump, airtight lid and floordrain.  This also came with a WaterWatch alarm system which works to emit very loud sounds if it is overfilled.  The EZ Flow drain and discharge line were fashioned around the perimeters to control any excess water and displace it away from the crawlspace.   CleanSpace Drainage matting was placed to ensure space for water underneath and to avoid any puncture damage to the encapsulation.  Finally, the SaniDry Sedona was placed to reduce humidity and the rest of the basement was sealed efficiently with foam insulation in any cracks or holes. 

Here, you can see the before and the after of a fungus removal treatment performed by the Healthy Spaces installation team. The fungus was growing along the wooden subfloor boards throughout the crawlspace due to an increased relative humidity of a vented crawlspace. In order to make sure that the fungus does not reoccur, the homeowners have elected to have their West Louisville, KY crawlspace encapsulated by Healthy Spaces.
