Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner recently refinished his floors and wanted to make sure they weren't going to get ruined or "spongy". When we went to the property to perform the inspection, we found the humidity and moisture levels of the wood flooring in the crawlspace was causing the wood to soften and sink, resulting in the spongy feeling they had on the main level on the home. 

The existing concrete support columns were spaced too far apart, which only cause the issue to get worse. On top of that, there was an area under the washer/dryer and kitchen that had zero support with a failing concrete cinderblock, making the entire floor very unstable. 

To fix, we used our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to encapsulate and isolate the earth from the rest of their home, which will help prevent moisture from eating into the wood flooring above. It'll drastically reduce the humidity levels and keep the floor as strong as possible. We also installed our SmartJack system and supplemental beams to solidify the floors and help better support their home. 

Mary was tired of dealing with a wet and musty smell in Neligh, NE home. She noticed that the floors had also become squeaky and bouncy. She started looking for solutions for crawl space moisture control and came across our work.

System Design Specialist Jesse White went out to Mary’s home and explained the high moisture levels in the crawl space were causing problems with the smell and flooring. After going through solutions, Mary felt confident that we could help. The crew encapsulated the entire crawl space with CleanSpace. We also put drainage matting down to keep the ground moisture separate from the structure. Mary was more than satisfied with our work and glad to have a dry crawl space!

Jason N. is a homeowner in Pierce, NE, who recently purchased a second home, but was worried about the crawl space underneath becoming an issue in the future. It’s common for poorly sealed crawl spaces to decrease the efficiency of a home, decrease the air quality, and cause foul odors. Looking for a permanent solution, Jason called Thrasher because of our reputation and dedication to providing industry-leading solutions.

Our crews arrived at the home in Pierce, NE, and immediately went to work encapsulating the crawl space. We installed our CleanSpace waterproof barrier and SmartDrain to guarantee this crawl space stays dry year-round. Jason was pleased to have the project done in a timely manner and to have restored peace of mind in his new house. 

Homeowner Jill bought her home in the fall. And in the winter, her pipes froze and burst. This is her forever home so she knew she had to do something. She remembered her brother recently used Thrasher to waterproof his home, so she decided to give us a call, too. Once we sent our System Design Specialist, Jesse White, out to her home, we were able to identify the problem. Upon inspection, we found her crawlspace was uninsulated and not encapsulated. 

Jesse came up with a plan and sent our install team out to work their magic. We ended up encapsulating and insulating to keep the interior of the crawl space clean and dry. On top of that, we also installed a SaniDry Dehumidifier to help keep the space dry. 

Now Jill can rest knowing her home is protected and her pipes are prepared for the following winter. 

Jill was so excited to move into her new home last year, until winter hit. Her crawlspace felt the temperature when the cold hit, causing her waterlines to freeze and burst. This is her long term home and wants peace of mind this won't happen again this year. She called in Thrasher, and one of our System Design Specialists came out to help. To keep the temperature regulated in her crawl space, we installed our crawlspace encapsulation called Cleanspace. Cleanspace helps keep the outside dirt and cold on the outside, keeping your whole house warmer in the cold months, and cooler in the warmer months. Check out the before and after here!
