Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Damp Chapin, SC Crawlspace with Falling Insulation Has a Full CleanSpace Encapsulation Installed

This homeowner was concerned about the state of their crawlspace when they saw some falling insulation and standing water in the area. While this situation was unfortunate for the homeowner, it was good that they caught it before it got any worse. The homeowners gave our office a call and we were able to send out one of our System Design Specialists to provide a free estimate. Once our Specialist got out to the home, he immediately began noticing the issues and starting drawing up and designing a system to prevent water and moisture from getting into the crawlspace. This photo album will show off how we transformed this crawlspace using CleanSpace, 3-inch drain tile, a SmartSump pump system, and a dehumidifier!

Crawlspace During Initial Inspection

This picture gives a pretty good look at the crawlspace that our Design Specialist first saw when he went out to the home. In this photo some of the falling insulation can be seen. This photo also shows how low this area was for our crew to work in.

Another Photo Showing Pre-Installation Crawlspace

This photo gives an even better look at the unecapsulated crawlspace. There is a full piece of insulation that has almost completely fallen down, as well as some smaller pieces towards the back wall. This is a very common indicator of high humidity levels in a crawlspace.

Final Photo of Pre-Installation Crawlspace

This is the last photo of the crawlspace before our crew came out to pull the insulation and encapsulate the crawlspace of the home. In this photo, a full piece of insulation has fallen from the floor joists. This homeowner definitely had the right idea to give us a call to help with the water and high humidity levels under the home.

Crawlspace Encapsulated with CleanSpace Liner

This photo shows the enormous difference between the crawlspace before the installation and after the CleanSpace was rolled out. Another big difference is that the crew removed the entirety of the insulation under the home, taking care of the wet, moldy insulation.

CleanSpace Sealed Along Crawlspace Wall

This gives a great look at how the CleanSpace is installed. The crew will always take the CleanSpace up the wall at least a couple of feet (if possible). This is to ensure that the crawlspace is as sealed off as possible, by prevent water and moisture from coming through the crawlspace walls.

Installed CleanSpace and Dehumidifier

This photo shows off the dehumidifier that was installed in this homeowner's crawlspace. The dehumidifier is a very important part of an encapsulated crawlspace. While the CleanSpace does a great job at keeping water and moisture out, the dehumidifier ensures that the humidity levels stay under the level where mold can grow.

Installed SmartDrain in Crawlspace

Many homes are in need of a sump pump, as they are getting quite a lot of water in the crawlspace. However, not every crawlspace is like that, as was the case for this home. However our Design Specialist did suggest this homeowner have a SmartDrain installed, which will alert the homeowner of a plumbing leak.
