Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Louis closed on his new house in September 2021 and wanted to address the issue of excessive moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space. Excess moisture can lead to a host of problems, including mold growth, musty odors, and potential damage to the structural integrity of the house. To tackle this issue and create a more comfortable living space for Louis, we implemented a comprehensive moisture control system.

The first step involved installing CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that acts as a moisture barrier between the ground and the crawl space. This effective barrier prevents moisture from entering the crawl space, thus reducing the humidity levels. To further enhance the moisture control, we incorporated a drainage mat, which allows any water accumulation to be channeled away effectively.

Because of the impact of open vents on moisture infiltration, we proceeded to block off the vents, preventing outside air and humidity from entering the crawl space. This step was crucial in maintaining a controlled environment and preventing excess moisture buildup.

To efficiently manage any potential water intrusion, we installed a SmartDrain, a smart sump pump system designed to detect and pump out any excess water that may enter the crawl space. This added layer of protection ensured that Louis' crawl space remained dry and free from water-related issues.

Lastly, we implemented a Sedona dehumidifier, specifically designed for crawl spaces. The Sedona effectively regulates humidity levels, removing excess moisture from the air and creating a healthier environment.

Martin F. was looking for a proactive approach to removing water from his basement and wanting to protect his home from future humidity and mold concerns. During an annual maintenance call, he was able to address his concerns.

Service Technician Brandon Roast found the sump pump was starting to fail in the basement. This left Martin at a higher risk of water damage and high humidity in the basement. Brandon was able to install a new sump pump and a Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier to give Martin’s home a proactive solution to prevent water damage from occurring. Martin was happy that we were able to provide him with a same day solution.

Thrasher Foundation Repair went out to Indianola, IA to encapsulate a home owners crawl space. Encapsulating a crawl space will help the mold and mildew throughout the house. 

Susie is a homeowner in Marshfield, MO, and needed some help with her crawl space. The crew went out to her home and recommended encapsulating and giving the beams support. They started with the walls and encapsulated them with Clean Space to keep all of the moisture out. Then to offer the floor much-needed support they installed Smart Jacks with a new supplemental beam.
