Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Philpot, Kentucky reached out with concerns about moisture and airflow in their crawl space, initially inquiring about vent solutions. After evaluating the space, it became clear that a more comprehensive waterproofing and encapsulation system would provide a long-term solution to protect the home from moisture damage, flooding, and poor air quality.

To address these concerns, we installed a complete crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation system. The project began with the installation of a SmartSump pump system, which included a durable liner, a cast iron pump, CleanPump Stand, and an airtight lid with an integrated floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. This setup ensures reliable water removal while alerting the homeowner to any issues.

To safeguard against discharge line freezing or blockage, we added an IceGuard system, along with a LawnScape outlet at the end of the discharge line for efficient water dispersion away from the home. We also installed a StarPipe drainage system in key areas of the crawl space, connecting it to the sump pump via a discharge line. This required drilling through the footer to properly route the drainage system and extending the discharge line as needed.

Once the drainage infrastructure was complete, all debris was removed from the work area to prepare for encapsulation. We then installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system, creating a sealed barrier to prevent moisture intrusion. To further enhance insulation and energy efficiency, SilverGlo panels were installed along designated walls.

Additional improvements included installing an EverLast crawl space door for a secure, airtight entry point, as well as a 12-inch high plastic well ring around the access door to prevent surface water intrusion. Finally, all existing crawl space vents were sealed from the inside using SilverGlo and spray foam insulation, eliminating unwanted air exchange and helping maintain a controlled environment.

This comprehensive solution transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient area, giving the homeowner lasting protection and peace of mind.

New homeowners, Carl & Becky, moved into a home in Hartford, KY. It was flagged on the inspection report for their crawl space floors sagging. They could see that there was an area where their floor was sloping. After reading through our google reviews, they gave Healthy Spaces a call for a free inspection. 

Our System Design Specialist worked with Carl & Becky to put together a proposal they felt comfortable with and a plan that restores the value of their home. Together they decided Healthy Spaces would need to install 16 SmartJack's and supplemental beams. The SmartJack System provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.

Whitesville, KY homeowner Ashlee K. had noticed that the dehumidifier in their vault room was no longer working. They purchased it from a big name box store, and it obviously didn't do its job. Without the dehumidifier running and filtering the air, the moisture was at an all-time high. It caused mold growth in their basement, which could also lead to illness and awful smells. Once they began to notice the mold, the panicked. They didn't want their home to be unhealthy, so they gave us a call.

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, was sent to the home to complete a thorough inspection. He concluded that the dehumidifier wasn't doing its job and recommended that it definitely be replaced with a SaniDry XP Upright Dehumidifier which removes up to 109 liters of water per day. The latest generation of SaniDry dehumidifiers is more powerful and energy-efficient than ever! Each one includes a comprehensive, written warranty upon installation. 

Homeowner in Beaver Dam, KY, was interested in getting an estimate for a new vapor barrier. Having heard from friends and family in Beaver Dam who had work done from us, they decided to give Healthy Spaces a call. 

We installed CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a durable, bright white crawl space liner that installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing by. By keeping their crawl space dry, they're protecting their structure from mold and rot. 

Here, you can really see the difference that CleanSpace makes!  The initial crawlspace was lumpy dirt floor, covered in a clear plastic sheet.  When the sheet was pulled back, it was amazing to see how moldy and gross that plastic had become and how tattered and shredded it was.  Underneath the plastic, there was a failed trench system for drainage.  Instead of helping control the influx of water, it trapped over 4" of standing water in the crawlspace, which lead to mold and fungus growth among other problems.  

Damon Cheatham with Healthy Spaces came out and inspected the crawlspace.  He designed a comprehensive water removal system to keep the crawlspace dry all the time!  The installation team started by remediating the mold, removing the debris, and leveling the floor of the crawlspace.  Next, they re-dug the trench system to fit an EZFlow drainage system, which connects to a SuperSump sump pump system to remove the water.  The entire crawlspace needed to be more energy efficient as well, so SilverGlo insulation was installed along the walls and in the spaces between the subfloor joists.  The crew installed 1,134 sq feet of Cleanspace, two vent covers, and an EverLast Crawlspace well and door for entry.  Finally, a Sani-dry dehumidifier was installed in the crawlspace to keep the space conditioned and the relative humidity low so mold won't grow in there again.
