From Damp to Dry-A Fresh Start for This Crawlspace in Morganfield KY

A homeowner in Morganfield, KY contacted us about water in their crawlspace that had led to mold growth. They needed a solution to remove the water and keep it from coming back.

We installed a full waterproofing and encapsulation system, including a SmartSump pump, drainage system, discharge lines, IceGuard, and LawnScape outlet to move water away from the home. To control moisture, we added drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We also improved efficiency with SilverGlo insulation and spray foam at the rim joists, plus installed The Turtl access system.

The crawlspace is now dry, sealed, and protected, with controlled humidity and no risk of standing water returning.

Homeowner in New Harmony, IN was experiencing stair-step cracking throughout his basement wall. There are a number of potential causes of cracked and bowing foundation walls, but the main issue is the pressure from foundation soils. Installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, the anchors aren't affected by the soil constantly moving. Foundation wall anchors extend out to the stable, hard-packed soil beyond your home, anchoring themselves there and bracing the foundation wall. 

Mike & Terri of New Harmony, IN, were experiencing their doors sticking, cracks in the interior walls around door frames, and could tell that their floors had a slope and not level. After doing a Google search on companies that did structural repair for sagging floors, they came across Healthy Spaces. After spending some time reading their reviews and looking at past work examples on their website, they decided to give them a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. 

After doing a thorough inspection, it was discovered that their floor joists were becoming weakened and started bending. Our team installed a new supplemental beam, along with 10 SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. Our SmartJack system permanently lifts and stabilizes existing beams and floor joists in your crawl space. Steel columns are secured to the beams or joists in the crawl space.

In these photos, you can see a crawlspace that is being treated for mold. Once the mold treatment was complete and the surfaces were thoroughly scrubbed, the debris was rolled in black plastic and removed from the crawlspace. Then, new black plastic was laid along the floor for the second phase of mold treatment. Once that is complete, the black plastic will be removed again and CleanSpace will be installed. Before the CleanSpace is adhered to the walls, the homeowners elected to insulate their crawlspace foundation walls with SilverGlo!

In these two pictures, you can see the bare foundation walls had been covered with backerboard sheets, which are very low R-rating for insulation. In the After picture, you can see the shiny surface of the SilverGlo! Not only is it an R11 rating, but it's complete with the shiny layer to reflect back heat/cool into the crawlspace. Once the crawl space system, complete with CleanSpace, is installed, the homeowners will notice energy efficiency and savings!

Homeowner Jennifer M. from Mt. Vernon Indiana knew that her crawl space needed a makeover. This crawl space was pretty typical for the area: dirt floor, occasional flooding, open vents and doorways, and uninsulated walls. All these factors had contributed to another factor -- mold.

This crawl space needed a total facelift and System Design Specialist, Bob Roberts, made sure it became a reality. Bob completed a thorough inspection of Jennifer's crawl space, and then they worked together to create a plan that they agreed on. 

Our crew first started with remediating all of the mold growing in the crawl space. From there, the crawl space will then be encapsulated. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a 20mm white thick plastic lining that entirely seals off the crawl space from the harsh elements below. It keeps mold and moisture from growing on it as well and especially helps in hot summer months, which is the exact opposite of what her crawl space was before. Jennifer's home and crawl space is finally healthy and is a great place for extra storage.
