Before & After Photos

A nasty crawlspace formed by dirt, moisture, and bugs can lead to poor living conditions for the inhabitants living above the crawlspace. In order to encapsulate and reduce the risk of the crawlspace flooding we installed a lot. First we installed a vapor barrier by placing CleanSpace and drainage matting over the walls and floors. We then installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a SmartPump sump pump on one side of the large crawlspace, and a UltraSump 4 sump pump on the other side. We topped it off with SilverGlo insulation panels, which will help save big money on energy bills. 

Our inspector went out to this crawl space in Aurora, IND, to give the owners of the crawl space a free estimate to encapsulate it. When our inspector went to get humidity readings in the space, the relative humidity read at 50.3%, which is actually pretty good, (mold begins to grow at 60%). However, this reading was taken early in April where the temperature outside was only 52 degrees F, and as we all know, when the summer heat hits, RH's in crawl spaces rise drastically. The homeowner wanted us to encapsulate it before the summer, so we did just that. By covering the space with our durable, moisture-proof, antimicrobial CleanSpace liner, the crawl space was ready for the summer. (Not pictured is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier we also installed.)

This home had a musty smell and bugs coming up from the crawlspace. We fixed these problems by encapsulating it with CleanSpace matting. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels as well. 

This crawl space in Somerville, Ohio was damp, poorly insulated, and contributing to uncomfortable conditions inside the home. We transformed it with a full encapsulation system featuring SilverGlo™ insulation panels, spray foam along the rim joists, drainage matting, and a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal out moisture. To control humidity long-term, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The “before” photos reveal a musty, unprotected space—while the “after” images show a clean, dry, energy-efficient environment built to last.

This crawl space in Hamilton, OH was in pretty rough shape when the homeowners gave us a call to inspect it for free. We told them it would be wise to block out moisture and to control the humidity levels in the crawl space by encapsulating it to prevent further damage to the wood framing. We encapsulated the tiny crawl space by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier and an energy efficient dehumidifier. We also told them it would be wise to strengthen the wooden framing of the crawl space by adding some sister joists to certain parts of the crawl space. As for the fiberglass insulation hanging from the ceiling, we told them it would be best to rip the fiberglass out completely and replace it with our foam insulation panels. The SilverGlo foam insulation panels go along the walls of the crawl space and are moisture proof, eliminating the need for new fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. After repairing their crawl space, this family doesn't have to worry about mold, rot, or high energy bills any longer!
