Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This large hall called Eagles Lodge in Ozark, MO has been a staple in the community for the past 30 years, and the organization wants it to last another 30. However, it’s in desperate need of a flooring job due to its size and length. The structure originally had three wood beams beginning to rot resting on failing concrete blocks. After comparing our solution to competing companies, they knew ours was the permanent solution they needed to make it last another 30 years.

 From there, System Design Specialist Max Huggins began the project. In order to give the flooring the support it needed, the team installed four 70 foot long steel beams to replace the rotting wood ones. For increased support and structure, the steel beams were paired with our SmartJack crawl space support system that’s galvanized for corrosion resistance. Although this is a permanent fix, Max explained the importance of the warranty in place to guarantee this structure is built to last.

 The community was impressed throughout the duration of the project, and they’re thrilled Eagle Lodge will be around for the distant future. In addition to the tangible results, they were pleased with our team’s ability to deliver an incredible experience.

Dirt crawl spaces are common, but they can cause issues to homes. The problems include sagging floors which can be repaired with floor jacks and dirt in vents which can be solved with crawl space encapsulation. In addition, there can be moisture in the crawl space which can be prevented or mitigated with a vapor barrier like CleanSpace.

A home in Forsyth, MO had a dirt crawl space that needed to be repaired. The Thrasher Foundation Repair installed our CleanSpace product. This allowed the homeowner to use the crawl space as a storage area.

This homeowner was struggling because he just bought his home recently, and he noticed that the drywall was separating at the ceiling around his bathroom door. He was concerned that this would progressively get worse, so after seeing our help of his neighbor with a similar issue, he gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Brandon Powers to inspect the support structure of the homeowner's crawl space because this is what often causes cracks in upstairs drywall. Brandon found that the upstairs floors were uneven and that was causing the issues of the drywall. The floors being uneven were due to the existing support structures in the home's crawl space were not functioning anymore. Brandon knew just what to do, so his team installed SmartJacks to permanently stabilize the floor and lift it back to its original position. They also installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump so that there were no more issues with support beams failing.

The homeowner was happy that he would have a peace of mind about his new home. Check out his crawl space repair!

When this customer reached out to us, she had multiple concerns regarding her crawlspace and its impact on her home. Firstly, she needed time to address the issues with her walls but recognized the need to resolve them in due course. Additionally, she noted that her kitchen floor above the crawlspace remained persistently cold, prompting her desire to utilize the crawlspace for storage. However, the space was old, dingy, and filled with cobwebs, making it unsuitable for her intended purpose. To address these concerns, she sought our assistance in encapsulating and insulating her crawlspace. 

Understanding the importance of a clean, moisture-controlled crawlspace, our team recommended the installation of CleanSpace sheeting. This durable and reliable material acts as a barrier, preventing moisture from seeping into the crawlspace from the ground. By encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace, we aimed to create a controlled environment, protecting both the space itself and the floors above.

To further enhance the functionality and durability of the encapsulation, we utilized drain matting underneath the crawlspace. This added layer of protection serves to prevent the CleanSpace sheeting from tearing or getting damaged by the ground.

The comprehensive encapsulation and insulation project was completed successfully, providing Tracy with a transformed crawlspace that met her needs and expectations. She expressed her satisfaction in a 5-star review, commending the fantastic job and the timely completion of the project.
