Before & After Photos

Before

The homeowner had a basic, uncovered crawl space access point that was not only an eyesore but also a vulnerability. The open entry allowed moisture, pests, and debris to enter freely, contributing to potential mold growth and energy inefficiency. Additionally, the lack of a proper access well made entry into the crawl space cumbersome and potentially hazardous.

After

To address these issues, we installed the EverLast™ Access Well, a durable, heavy-gauge polyethylene structure that provides a clean and secure entryway. Its 48-inch width ensures ample space for access, and its stackable design allows for customization to the desired depth. Complementing this, we fitted an EverLast™ Crawl Space Door, constructed from ½-inch-thick PVC plastic, known for its resistance to warping, cracking, and maintenance-free longevity. The door's airtight and waterproof seal effectively blocks external elements, enhancing the home's energy efficiency and protecting the crawl space from moisture and pests.

This crawlspace had some big rocks in it, but fear not, The Basement Doctor can navigate. CleanSpace matting is flexible enough for any obstruction, and will still block out all negativity.

We transformed this dark, pea-graveled crawl space in Junction City, KY with a CleanSpace vapor barrier to reduce humidity and create a cleaner, brighter environment. The homeowner already had a ventilation system in place, so no dehumidifier was needed. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels along the walls (concealed behind the barrier) and sealed the rim joists with spray foam for added efficiency. The result was a happy homeowner.

For crawl spaces that hold lots of air ducts, plumbing, and other utilities, it can be very beneficial to encapsulate them. With an encapsulation you can protect your utilities from freezing temperatures, rusting, pests, floods, and mold. Not only will this help you save big on energy bills, it will save you from costly repairs down the road. For this home in Nancy, KY, the homeowner thought getting their crawl space encapsulated was the right move too. We started by installing our waterproofing system with perforated pipes and three SmartSump sump pumps. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting, along with our SilverGlo insulation panels. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and sealed all the vents. The result is a protected crawl space that will save the homeowner on energy bills, and from costly repairs down the road.

This homeowner in Versailles, KY, called us after heavy rainfall caused their crawl space to flood. They wanted a permanent solution—not just a quick fix—so we introduced them to our encapsulation system. We explained that it doesn’t just stop flooding, but also blocks moisture entirely, creating a cleaner, healthier, and longer-lasting crawl space. They were all in.

In the after photo, you can see the main “organs” of our system at work:

• SmartSump Pump with UltraSump Battery Backup – the “heart” of the system, collecting groundwater through its “veins” (our drainage channels) and pumping it safely out of the foundation. The UltraSump acts like a “pacemaker,” keeping the heart beating even during a power outage.

• SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier – the “lungs,” automatically controlling humidity so the air stays clean and dry.

• CleanSpace Vapor Barrier – the “skin,” sealing out moisture, bugs, and dirt for complete protection.

• SilverGlo Wall Insulation – the “fatty tissue,” locking in warmth during the winter and improving energy efficiency.

With all these components working together, this crawl space now has the full anatomy of a healthy, protected foundation.
