Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner had just moved into their new house when they noticed something was visibly wrong with the crawl space. It appeared that an old waterproofing job had been done a long time ago, but it was no longer getting the job done. Moisture was very much an issue inside this area of the house. That’s why this homeowner in Rhinebeck, NY contacted The Basement Transformer to help them transform their crawlspace.

Our crew started by installing our drainage matting onto the floor before laying down the encapsulation barrier. This drainage matting gives water a way to move around underneath and evaporate on top of the mat if needed. It creates a permanent seal over top of the crawlspace floor, preventing water from coming inside.

The CleanSpace Encapsulation System was then installed on top of the drainage matting. It is a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner that helps to prevent mold growth, rotting wood, and pest infestations. Water intrusion is truly no match for this encapsulation system.  

To keep the air dry & safe, we also installed our amazing SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It can remove dust mites and mold spores, all while keeping the humidity levels under control. It will even shut off to conserve energy once the desired level of humidity has been reached.

This crawlspace was safe and could withstand moisture with no problems once our crew had completed the job!

A crawl space located in Dover Plains, NY needed a brand-new support system installed to stabilize it. The floor joists above were compromised and the current supports that were in place could not sustain themselves for much longer on their own. That is why our team stepped in to solve this problem and installed our SmartJack System. This support system is made of galvanized steel, is resistant to corrosion, and supports loads up to 60,000 pounds or more. The SmartJacks System can also be adjusted at any time should your home need it. With this system in place, this crawl space went from being unsafe to stable!
