Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The homeowner reported having a bad odor coming up to the first floor via the crawlspace as well as cold floors.  After scheduling a free estimate we sent out an informative book titled “Crawlspace Science” for free to review in the few days between scheduling and the actual appointment.  This gave the client a good understanding of the situation and allowed him to form specific questions for our inspector.

After arriving, the client had an idea of what he wanted and our inspector, Mr. Brian McWhirter, showed how Keystone Basement Systems could help accomplish this goal.

The client had a crawlspace which was not encapsulated.  This is a very big problem and can lead to a host of negative outcomes.  The plan was a proper crawlspace encapsulation.

The project was large.  A typical crawlspace encapsulation takes one day, but this one took 3 to complete.  That said, once it was complete, it was marvelous.  Not only does it look clean, but it is well insulate and protects against mold, moisture, water and odor.

This basement's high moisture content rusted the metal support beam. As a result of the corrosion, the beam was weakened and the floors above were not supported adequately. Our permanent solution to this problem was to remove the beam and replace it with our corrosion resistant SmartJack Support Post System.

Due to high moisture levels in the basement, SmartJack Support Posts were installed to replace failing, rusting jacks. 

By sealing the open vents and cracks, insulating the crawl space walls, installing CleanSpace Vapor Barrier throughout the floor, and installing a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, our crew encapsulated the crawl space. 

This crawl space was encapsulated with our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system and insulated to ensure it remains dry at all times.
