Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Crawlspaces are notorious for having mold problems and being incredibly energy inefficient.  This crawlspace in Elberfeld, IN was pretty typical for crawlspaces in the area: dirt floor, occasional flooding, open vents and doorways, and uninsulated walls.  The experts at Healthy Spaces set out to change the space for the homeowners into an area that would be conditioned and energy efficient.  In this case, the entire crawlspace was treated for mold and the existing, moldy insulation was removed.  Every surface was scrubbed and the floor leveled.  Next, the installation team insulated with the walls with a product called SilverGlo.  It's a high efficiency, mold resistant panel insulation secured around the inside of the foundation walls.  The spaces in between the subfloor joists are also insulated and secured in place with expanding foam insulation.  Once those components are set and dried, the team will encapsulate the entire crawlspace with CleanSpace.  The crawlspace will then be isolated from the dirt and outside air, allowing for greater energy efficiency and warmer floors this season!

Our client in Chandler, IN, had a crawl space adjacent to their basement that was under only one room on the main floor. There appeared to be moisture and potential mold in the space. It also had insulation that would likely need to be replaced. They called Healthy Spaces to help determine their best option for fixing their crawl space. 

To eliminate the moisture problem, System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, proposed installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Installing a vapor barrier slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air. The CleanSpace vapor barrier turns your crawl space into a semi-conditioned space. When that occurs, your floors feel warmer in the winter and your energy bills go down.

Newburgh, IN resident Scot D. was troubled by his wet crawl space. Water leaked in and caused a moldy, musty environment. The mold risked the integrity and health of his home. He did previously have a vapor barrier, but it obviously wasn't doing its job. 

Healthy Spaces installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier, so it keeps water out without supporting mold growth.

Scott is thrilled with this new space.

From wet and dark, to dry and bright! Check out this crawl space transformation! This customer initially was concerned about possible mold in her crawl space. As we know where there is water, there is mold. 

Our team started with debris and water removal. Then, we installed a SmartSump Pump system along with an airtight floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. Our team installed draining matting under our CleanSpace liner for optimal performance of the crawl space encapsulation. We then installed SilverGlo to provide insulation and SaniDry Sedona to keep the humidity levels low. Lastly, we installed an Aspen, a high performance air purifier with three stage filtration system to allow maximum air flow. Ending our project with yet another happy customer! 

Here, you can see the before and the after of a fungus removal treatment performed by the Healthy Spaces installation team. The fungus was growing along the wooden subfloor boards throughout the crawlspace due to an increased relative humidity of a vented crawlspace. In order to make sure that the fungus does not reoccur, the homeowners have elected to have their West Louisville, KY crawlspace encapsulated by Healthy Spaces.
