Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Our crews did a amazing job on this crawlspace repair in Greenville, SC. 

Our team did an awesome job on this CleanSpace job in Greenville, SC.

Many homeowners don't realize that they have moisture issues until someone else makes them aware of a possible issue. One of the biggest reasons for this is because a lot of homeowners hardly ever go under their home, and even when they do, they probably don't know some of the signs of water intrusion and high moisture levels. However there are many contractors that frequently work in crawlspaces who know some common signs of moisture issues.

This happened to be the case for this homeowner. When they had a pest control company at their home, the technician noticed that the moisture level was much too high in the crawlspace. While it was great that the technician noticed the high moisture level, a good amount of "damage" had already begun, such as mold already growing on the floor joists in the crawlspace and soaked floors. However, even with the problem as bad as it was, our System Design Specialist knew that we had a solution for this homeowner.

The high moisture level in the crawlspace of this home was taken care of with the installation of CleanSpace and several other products that help to keep the water out of the crawlspace. Our crew installed 3-inch drain tile around the perimeter of the crawlspace which helps to drain the water down the the SuperSump Pump System that was also installed in the crawlspace. There was also a dehumidifier that was put in the crawlspace in order to remove any moisture that wasn't caught by the CleanSpace. 

While the work that we do may sometimes seem pretty routine, there are a lot of little things that must be looked at and taken into consideration before a proper estimate can be made. Fortunately for us, our System Design Specialists are extremely well trained and have enough experience to look for the intricacies of each and every crawlspace they enter. This is important when installing CleanSpace, because we want to make sure that the whole crawlspace is sealed up properly.

The first photo shows off a particularly interesting area in the crawlspace where a brick wall had started falling apart, as well as a small gap between the brick and garage structure. While it was still part of the crawlspace, because of its odd shape, it was better off to seal off this area. This is one of those things that could very easily be overlooked, but because of our Specialist's experience, was taken care of during the initial inspection. 

The photo that was taken after the CleanSpace was installed shows the solution that our Specialist came up with. First off, our crew did a great job at working the CleanSpace around the broken brick wall, which can sometimes be difficult. The solution that our System Design Specialist came up with was to use one of our products, SilverGlo insulation to block off the area behind the broken brick wall. SilverGlo is not only sturdy, but it also will help insulate the crawlspace. 

This crawlspace that was located in Greenville, South Carolina was having a pretty unpleasant odor coming from it. This was something that the homeowner wanted to get taken care of immediately. Fortunately, this homeowner had heard a lot about our systems and already knew how effective these systems would be at solving her problems. She quickly set up her estimate, signed her contract, and was ready for an installation date. 

Within a month from our Systems Design Specialist's first meeting with the homeowner, the crew began the first installation (of many). This first installation included; CleanSpace, a SmartSump Pump, a dehumidifier, as well as several other smaller things that were done. The crew started by installing the SmartSump, by digging out an area and putting it in. They then started to install the CleanSpace liner, which was certainly the biggest part of the project.

As you can see in the difference between the two pictures, CleanSpace makes a pretty significant difference in the way that the crawlspace looks. It helps to brighten up the area and seal off the crawlspace from the outside. It helps to keep moisture out of the crawlspace, which also keeps out the smell that the homeowner originally called about. Overall the system that this homeowner went with was a great decision and has solved her headaches!
