Before & After Photos

This customer in Asheville, North Carolina—like many others before her—has a dirt crawlspace. And—like many before her—she has been having moisture issues in that very same crawlspace. Even with gravel covering the dirt, there is still no relief. The gravel can’t stop the water vapor from rising from the soil and into the space. Not to mention, the homeowners had cement block walls. Those blocks are extremely porous, so they allow water to pass through them whether there is a huge downpour or a small sprinkle. It’s a fact. Luckily, this homeowner decided to give us a call.

We were able to come out and install our CleanSpace liner in the moisture ridden crawlspace. It’s a real show stopper. It acts as a barrier, separating your home and the earth below it. Its 20 mils thick, reinforced with polyester cords. It’s nearly impossible to rip or tear. But, the best part is that it brightens any dreary crawlspace.

Water issues are not something we are unfamiliar with. We at All-Dry of the Carolinas tend to handle all sorts of problems. Water Issues are the most common, but also tend to be the most troublesome, if you ignore them for long periods.

Look at the “before” photo on display here. This crawlspace has several issues as we can see. The first is that it has a dirt crawlspace. That’s the more obvious problem. The second is the water stains that paint the block walls. The homeowners reported that the reason they contacted us is because they were having flooding issues. Judging by the state of this crawlspace, the owners were not exaggerating. This Asheville, North Carolina crawlspace needed a solution and fast.

In our “after” photo, we have installed our patented solution. Our patented CleanSpace liner covers the dirt floor as well as the walls. Any water that leaks through the walls is halted by the liner. Water vapor that rises from the dirt is prevented from going any further by this liner as well.

We expect to see no more water damage in this crawlspace with the new liner in place.

All-Dry of the Carolinas has been in the waterproofing business for over twenty-five years. We’ve seen everything. Nothing surprises us anymore, especially something as common as a dirt crawlspace. So, we weren’t surprised when this Asheville, North Carolina homeowner contacted us about a flooding issue in their crawlspace. Not only did this crawlspace have a dirt floor, but it also had cement block walls. These walls are often trouble for crawlspaces in wet areas because they are extremely porous. They allow water to pass through them quite easily, which explains the flooding problem.

After we managed to get out to the property, our Design Specialist was able to recommend a CleanSpace liner, among other things. The liner would act as a moisture barrier, keeping the water from entering into the crawlspace. We covered the floor, the walls, and wrapped the piers in the space for added coverage.

It’s a great deal cleaner than it used to be with that CleanSpace.

This home in Woodfin, NC was getting large volumes of water into the basement and crawl space. To solve this problem they went with a variety of waterproofing products that work together to keep the space dry. CleanSpace was added to the crawl space section of the home to keep ground moisture from entering the air. CleanSpace was also added to the walls on the basement side that would lead water into the WaterGuard that was placed around the perimeter of the room. A SuperSump was added to under the home to flush water from the space.

In the before pictures you can see the basement and crawl space that are dirty and uncared for. Once our All-Dry team was able to get to work, you can see that CleanSpace was added to the crawl space section and WaterGuard added to the basement.

This home needed some work done in its crawlspace after the homeowner's found standing water and damp ground around the crawlspace. There were several products we used in this project, the main one being our CleanSpace Liner. This products helps to keep your crawlspace separated from the outside world, and especially the earth underneath your home, which is a huge contributor to moisture under the home.

The "before" photo shows part of the basement before the CleanSpace liner had been installed. You can see how the previous crawlspace liner does not even cover all of the ground. In the patch of exposed dirt, you can see damp earth, which is never a good sign.

This "after" photo shows the same area (although from a different angle) after the CleanSpace had been installed. As you can see, our liner goes at least partially up the wall, depending on what our Specialists recommend and what the homeowner decides. This customer decided to take it all the way up the crawlspace wall. Any seams are sealed tight and correctly, leaving no gaps for water or water vapor to get in, or out.
