Before & After Photos

Nothing says ‘I’m not helping you’ like a plastic liner that’s pulled up in places and falling apart. We have an example of that here in this ‘before’ photo. And, to be fair, we can’t place all of the blame on the liner. It can’t help that it just wasn’t big enough to handle the job. Even while taking a cursory glance at the photo, we can see that there is plenty of dirt in the crawlspace left uncovered. If only part of it is covered, it’s about the same as having no coverage at all.

We’ve completely remedied this in the ‘after’ photo. This Bryson City, North Carolina crawlspace was given a whole new face lift.

We’ve taken our CleanSpace and covered every inch of the dirt crawlspace. Did you notice how in the ‘before’ photo that the old liner didn’t even touch the items? That’s not the case in our installation. We take the CleanSpace and seal it at least three inches up on every item in the crawlspace. Walls and hot water heaters are no different. This provides the crawlspace with a vapor barrier seal without any holes.

This customer in Hiawasse, GA had the typical issues that come with crawlspaces...wet, moldy, smelly, humid, and generally unattractive. These issues are not only about aesthetics. A wet and damp crawlspace is dangerous to your health because mold can grow when the humidity levels are too high. It can be costly because it will decrease the value of your home, as well as waste energy.

The "before" picture shows an uncontrolled space that is dark, dirty and damp. The solution is full encapsulation which includes sealing the entire crawlspace and sealing the vents to control the area, installing a dehumidifier to keep the humidity level low enough so that it is scientifically impossible for mold to grow, and installing a vapor barrier to damp-proof the space.

The "after" picture is the same crawlspace after the All-Dry of the Carolinas crew has completed a full encapsulation. What a difference! Not only is it practical, but attractive too!

This family in Hiawassee, GA was struggling to control the moisture levels in their crawlspace. Mold had begun to form around the crawlspace due to the high moisture levels.

To solve this problem our All-Dry of the Carolinas team had to tackle the situation from different angles. To begin, the mold needed to be removed from the area. Our team used Mold-X, which kills mold and also prevents future growth. Our team then placed CleanSpace in the crawlspace, wrapping it around the walls, floor, and piers. CleanSpace is a 20 mil tick liner that is laid across the crawlspace floor and wrapped around walls and piers. This liner works as a barrier to keep moister that is produced from the ground out of the crawlspace. In addition to the CleanSpace a SmartSump was added to the crawlspace as a way of pushing excess water that enters from outside. The SmartSump has a WaterWatch system which is an alarm to let you know if water has reached the top of the pump. The SmartSump works in coordination with the Aprilaire, a dehumidifier which is used to collecting extra moister that is produced under your home. The SmartSump has a dehumidifier drain that connects the two machines to fully expel water from the crawlspace. From the machines, the water is pushed from the crawlspace through a drainage system to the LawnScape outlet.

This customer had standing water, which created a very wet and humid crawlspace. In order to help alleviate and fix their problems. Our experts installed over 1200 Square feet of CleanSpace liner (on both the floor and the walls). we also installed drain tile, and a SuperSump pump to get rid of any water that does make its way into the crawlspace.

The "before" photo shows how bad of a condition the basement was in; insulation was falling, bricks and cinder blocks were just sitting there, and the clay and mud that made its way onto the previous liner.

The "after" picture shows the installation of the CleanSpace System. Not only is it functional and keeps the water out, but it looks great too! You, your kids, or any technician that does work under your house will love this!

When it comes to your crawlspace, protecting it from moister is very important. In this home the crawlspace was taking on large amounts of moister. Not only was moister the problem, but the crawlspace was littered with debris, trash, and an old liner.  To solve this problem, our All-Dry of the Carolinas team encapsulated the entire crawlspace.
