Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Chris H loves his home and wants to protect it from mold and rot. He doesn't plan on moving, this is their forever home. He has been worried about the water and moisture potentially causing damage to the crawlspace joists. He's been looking to get this space encapsulated for a while and want the piece of mind knowing there will be no issues in the future. 

We installed CleanSpace to encapsulate the entire crawlspace. By also adding a SmartSump, it will keep the crawlspace dry and will last. Finally, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to lower the humidity levels and eliminating an environment for mold to survive.

This customer in Des Moines, IA was having problems with the pooling water around his patio and deck. He was worried this would eventually damage his patio and later cause him larger problems with his foundation. Having used Thrasher in the past for other projects, he knows he could trust us to get the job done right for him.

When the team came out, they determined that he had a drainage issue that was causing the pooling in these areas. The crew decided that the best solution would be to use a buried downspout extension. Downspout extensions are a more efficient way to carry water away from your home's foundation, they provide a continuous path for the water to flow to an area safely away.  

After the installation of the downspout, this customer no longer has to worry about damage to his patio or foundation and can enjoy the space without the pooling water. 

Gary H. was tired of having a musty odor in his basement each time it rained. He spends a lot of time in his basement, and it is very cold and drafty and a lot of excess moisture. Looking for a solution, he decided to call Thrasher Foundation Repair.

System Design Specialist Frank Lindsey went out to his home. Frank was able to see that the crawl space is attached to the basement and was creating a draft and musty odor. The crew installed drainage matting and CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawl space, so the walls would remain dry. We also removed existing insulation from the floor joists and ceiling. To keep the rest of the basement dry, WaterGuard was also put in, to direct the water out of the basement into the sump pump.

This customer had a dirt crawlspace that was causing problems like moisture, cold air, warm air, and bugs getting into their home. To fix this, we used CleanSpace encapsulation and drainage matting. The CleanSpace was attached to the walls with special wall anchors to keep out moisture and other things from outside. It was also installed on the dirt floor to stop moisture from the soil and groundwater. The drainage matting helped with the waterproofing too. We suggested installing a sump pump or smart drain to remove any water that might come in. With the combination of smart drains, drainage matting, CleanSpace, and sump pumps, the homeowner now has a protected and safe crawlspace that can be used for storage without worry.
