Crawlspace Encapsulation with CleanSpace in Taylors, SC Home

Before	After

This homeowner called All-Dry just in time! Their home had several issues that needed to be addressed sooner, rather than later. They had problems from sagging floors, to a damp crawlspace. In order to correct these problems, our Service Design Specialist recommended several products like; CleanSpace Liner, SmartJacks, Drain tile, a SmartSump, and several other products. While the only product you will see in these pictures is the CleanSpace, several other products were installed to either solve other problems or to assist CleanSpace in its job to keep water and moisture out of the CrawlSpace. If you would like to see a few other pictures from this job, click here.

The "before" photo shows what the crawlspace looked like upon our initial inspection. While we have definitely seen worse crawlspaces, it was not in the greatest condition. While looks do not always matter when something looks as good as CleanSpace AND can provide much better protection you can not help but think that looks do matter!

The "after" picture shows the crawlspace after our products had been installed. However the only product that is actually visible is the CleanSpace. You can see just how big of a difference it made though. One small, but important detail is the covered vents. You can not actually see the sealed vents in the after photo, but they are very obvious in the before photo. Vents let outside air in, which is something that we definitely do not want, the difference in air temperatures and relative humidity can cause condensation to form, which brings even more water into the crawlspace.

SmartJacks installed in Taylors, SC Crawlspace

Before	After

The SmartJacks were placed under the floor joist of the home and then used to push the floors back into place. To install it, we excavate a two-foot cube at each SmartJack location. The hole is then filled with concrete or engineered to create a stable, loadbearing footing. The SmartJack sits on top of it with a custom-engineered base to prevent the support system from sinking when the moister starts to affect the soil. SmartJacks are then adjusted to the perfect position to support the floor joist of the home. This SmartJack technology, is made of steel which will not rust when exposed to moister and it can also hold over 60,000 pounds! This product was able to save this homes sagging floor problem.

CleanSpace installed in Taylors, SC

Before	After

Our All-Dry of the Carolinas team was able to solve this problem by using a series of our watering proofing technology. Our crew installed a CleanSpace liner, sump pump, and dehumidifier. When encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace, it seals the area to keep moisture from creeping up from the ground and causing damage to your foundation.   A dehumidifier was placed in the crawlspace as a solution to the humidity that is produced from the pipes under your house. A SumpPump is to flush out entering water and excess water from the dehumidifier from the crawlspace. Together with all these tools, the crawlspace is completely protected from moisture.
