Crawl Space Moisture Control | Evansville, IN

A homeowner in Evansville, IN began noticing persistent moisture issues in his crawl space and grew concerned about the potential for mold, structural damage, and poor air quality in the home. Initially, he suspected that overflowing gutters were allowing excess water to collect around the foundation, eventually seeping into the crawl space.

After a full inspection, it was determined that while exterior water management may have contributed, the primary issue was poor drainage, high humidity, and lack of proper crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing.

To fully address the problem and provide a long-term solution, a comprehensive crawl space waterproofing and moisture control system was installed.

The project began with the installation of a SmartSump Pump System, including a durable liner, cast iron pump, CleanPump stand, and an airtight lid with an integrated floor drain. A WaterWatch alarm system was also added to alert the homeowner of any potential pump issues. To ensure reliable discharge in all seasons, an IceGuard system was installed to prevent backups caused by frozen or clogged lines, along with a LawnScape outlet for efficient water dispersion away from the home.

To manage groundwater intrusion, a StarPipe drainage system was installed in key areas of the crawl space. This required coring through the footer to properly route the drainage system. Interior and exterior discharge lines were installed and extended as needed to direct water safely away from the foundation.

All debris was removed from the crawl space to prepare the area for encapsulation. Drainage matting was installed beneath the CleanSpace liner to improve water flow and system performance. The crawl space was then sealed with a durable EverLast door, while SilverGlo insulation panels were installed along the walls to enhance energy efficiency.

Additional insulation improvements included spray foam installation at the rim joists and sealing of all crawl space vents using SilverGlo and spray foam to prevent outside air and moisture from entering.

To complete the system and ensure ongoing moisture control, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain optimal humidity levels and protect the space from mold and mildew.

This comprehensive solution transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and controlled environment, giving the homeowner peace of mind and long-term protection against water and moisture-related issues.

A homeowner in Evansville, Indiana contacted Healthy Spaces with concerns about water intrusion in their basement, particularly during periods of heavy rain. Moisture was entering through the foundation and floor, creating a risk of structural damage, mold growth, and an unhealthy living environment.

🔍 Assessment & Challenges

After a full inspection, our team identified:

• Water seepage through the basement floor and potential slab cracks

A homeowner in Darmstadt, IN contacted us to inspect their crawlspace simply for peace of mind. While they weren’t experiencing a major issue, they wanted to make sure the space was protected from potential moisture or drainage problems in the future.

After evaluating the crawlspace, we installed a SmartSump pump system with a cast iron pump, CleanPump Stand, airtight lid, and WaterWatch alarm to provide reliable water removal and monitoring. We also installed StarPipe drainage, drainage matting, and a CleanSpace encapsulation system to help manage moisture and keep the space dry.

To ensure proper water discharge, we added an IceGuard system, extended the discharge line, and installed a LawnScape outlet to move water safely away from the home. SilverGlo insulation was also installed to help improve energy efficiency.

Now the homeowner has a cleaner, drier, and fully protected crawlspace—and the peace of mind they were looking for.

In Evansville, a homeowner contacted us about bouncy floors above their crawlspace and inquired about full encapsulation options. Our inspection revealed overspanned floor joists, groundwater seepage, fungal growth on wood framing, and debris contributing to excess moisture.

To address these issues, we performed professional fungus remediation, removed all debris, installed drainage matting beneath the CleanSpace liner, added SilverGlo wall insulation, spray foamed the rim joists for improved air sealing, and sealed the crawlspace vents from the interior.

The result is a cleaner, drier crawlspace with improved structural stability and long-term protection for the home!

Barbara from Evansville, IN had mold in her crawlspace and knew just who to call. Since she had used our services at a previous address, Barbara called Healthy Spaces to get the problem of both mold remediation and the issue that was causing it fixed. 

Kate had previously lived in a home with a finished basement, so moving to her new home in Evansville, IN was a huge shock because there was an unsealed dirt Crawlspace below grade. She noticed that the entire home had a damp, dank smell to it and that it was sticky even in cooler weather. She became concerned about mold growth and was tired of being uncomfortable in her own home. 

Kate decided to contact Healthy Spaces to see what could be done about her Crawlspace. She met with Donnie and he explained how Healthy Spaces could encapsulate her Crawlspace to entirely seal it off from the outside air, creating a conditioned space. By encapsulating the Crawlspace, they could lower the relative humidity in Kate's home, reducing or eliminating the smell and making the home more comfortable.

The Healthy Spaces installation crew, led by Ritchie. He and the team installed CleanSpace to seal the Crawlspace off from outside air. Earlier this summer, Kate's area of town had over 6" of rain fall and her Crawlspace remained clean and dry!

Ronald, an Evansville homeowner, and his family were constantly fighting cold floors.  They had attempted to insulate the crawlspace with fiberglass rolled insulation, but the insulation kept molding due to crawlspace moisture.  

In order to create a warmer environment, they decided to install a Cleanspace vapor barrier and SilverGlo Insulation based on recommendations from the Healthy Spaces Design Specialists.  SilverGlo has an R-11 rating and a silver coating that will reflect heat back into the crawlspace, so the entire system is more energy efficient.

The SilverGlo panels were placed along all the walls, then pieces of SilverGlo were installed inbetween the rim joists as well.  CleanSpace was placed over the dirt floor and the walls.  The Cleanspace liner keeps out groundwater, critters, mold, and more.

SilverGlo Installation is part of an energy efficient crawlspace encapsulation system when paired with Cleanspace. The walls of a crawlspace leach heat into the surrounding soil during the colder winter months, which can substantially increase your heating costs and make your furnance work harder than usual. In Evansville, we have HVAC systems that run through our crawlspaces and that means we can increase our heating and cooling savings by installing a complete crawlspace encapsulation system.

Carl M. was referred to Healthy Spaces for a crawlspace encapsulation and drainage system by a friend who had work done by them.  He was highly impressed by the professionalism of the company from the very beginning. 

Carl met with a System Design Specialist and decided that the crawlspace needed to be dry all the time in order to enhance the indoor air quality of his home, reduce the allergies and asthma symptoms that his family was experiencing, and then remove the possibility of mold growth.  

The installation crew installed a SmartPipe drainage system with a Super Sump Pump from Zoeller.  Next, they laid down drainage matting, commonly called Dimple Roll, to create a smooth surface and laid over 1500 sqft of Cleanspace, completely covering the floor and walls of the crawlspace.  Carl said that the work was completed quickly and efficiently and he's very excited to have a 25 year guarantee that his Cleanspace won't rip or tear!
