Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Here at All-Dry of the Carolinas we service many areas in SC, NC, and GA. One of our local areas that we service a lot is Greer, SC. Greer is located near the base of the mountains in South Carolina. Being at the base of the mountains usually results in thunderstorms during the summer months. As the hot air from the south rises, it meets the cold air that is coming off of the mountains; this is what causes so many thunderstorms in the SC upstate during the summer. This hot air that reacts with the cold mountain air is also the cause of high moisture levels in the air. Hot and humid air is speckled with moisture particles that are floating around. Since hot air moves to cold, whenever this air finds a cool crawlspace to move into, it takes its chance. When the amount of moisture moves into the crawl space it can cause foundation damage, mold, odors, increased heating and cooling bills, and pest.

In this Greer crawl space, there was a lot of moisture and water. As stated above, this can lead to negative effects on the home. When the homeowner realized how bad the situation was he called us at All-Dry of the Carolinas to help fix his problem.

In the before picture you see a dirty crawl space that has wet floors and high moisture levels. In the after pictures you can see that the crawl space has been completely encapsulated.

This home in Clayton, Georgia had a huge dirt crawlspace that needed to be encapsulated. The homeowner was having serious water intrusion and needed a permanent solution to his problem. The area that is shown in these two photos is the area around the water heater.

The "before" picture shows the area before our crew had installed the CleanSpace Liner over the dirt crawlspace. While there is no obvious water or water intrusion in this photo, the entire crawlspace needed to be taken care of. Being close to the water heater is an added burden, so our crew had to make sure they were extra careful in sealing this area.

The "after" picture gives a pretty good view of the installed CleanSpace around this area. The liner goes all the way up to small concrete slab in order to provide as much protection as possible and to keep as much moisture as possible from staying in the crawlspace. This is especially important for this crawlspace since there was no dehumidifier installed.

Customer called in about having some sagging floors and wanted to know if SmartJacks could be a possible solution to her problem. Our Design Specialist was able to access the issue and get her problem resolved with 6 SmartJacks.

Our crew was able to bring her area back level and guarantee stabilization.

There are many different ways for water and moisture to get into a crawlspace. The two most common ways for this to happen is from the crawlspace "floor" (the ground) and from water soaking through the walls and getting into the crawlspace. However, there is another huge way that moisture can get into the crawlspace; through outside air finding its way into the crawlspace. This can come through small cracks or holes in the walls, but one of the biggest areas is the entrance to the crawlspace. 

The entrance to this crawlspace was pretty big, which left a large area for air to seep through around the edges. This may not seem significant, but especially in an area with high humidity levels, this can greatly affect the moisture levels in the crawlspace. Unfortunately this is a fact that many homeowners don't even think about, because, well there is a door covering it up, so it should be fine!

Fortunately, we have a product that does a great job at keeping moisture from getting into the crawlspace. The product we installed is called an EverLast Door, which is a large, durable door that is made of inorganic material. It is made this way so that the door won't ever rot out (like wood can) and prevents mold growth on the door. It also each of the knobs on the door help to tighten the door so that it creates an airtight seal. 

This Spartanburg, South Carolina home had an assortment of issues before we came out to see it. There were moisture issues, mold, and mildew in the worst spots imaginable. These homeowners had had enough when they finally decided to give us a call. This ‘before’ picture says it all.

First of all, the crawlspace had a dirt floor. Second of all, the liner wasn’t at all sealed. It looks as though someone had simply thrown a sheet of plastic over it and walked away. Meanwhile, our liner stands in stark contrast to that liner.

It’s white, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s bright, so that you can see that there is absolutely no stain or trace of water anywhere. It’s thick and reinforced so there’s no chance of tearing it by mistake.

Our CleanSpace liner is phenomenal. There’s not really anything like anywhere else. Not only is it a thick, reinforced plastic, it also completely brightens any space. It leaves the crawlspace looking clean and mess free. Any hesitation you had about entering your crawlspace is easily assuaged with this patented liner. The side by side comparison speaks for itself.
