Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grahamsville, NY needed their crawlspace to be completely waterproofed and the structure of it needed to be reinforced. 

This old crawl space had nothing but a dirt floor and was supported by stones stacked on top of one another. It was a mess, and the overall structural integrity was weak. Our team provided a tailored solution for this homeowner to make their crawlspace dry and safe again.  

We installed several products to transform this crawl space such as our SmartJack crawl space supports, our SilverGlo Insulation, and our CleanSpace Encapsulation System.

The SmartJack crawl space supports replaced the stacks of stones entirely, working to provide long-term strength to the structure. They are made of galvanized, corrosion-resistant steel, sporting a load capacity of over 60,000 pounds. They can do this because they use leverage to uplift materials and disperse the load downward in their base. 

The SilverGlo insulation was installed on the crawl space walls to stop air leaks. It also cannot be damaged by or absorb any moisture like fiberglass can, making it extremely durable. 

The Clean Space Encapsulation System stops water from coming into the space, prevents moisture from seeping into the area, and seals the air.

When our team was done, this crawlspace was dry, and the structural integrity had been completely restored!

A homeowner in Middletown, NY had a tiny dirt crawl space in their house that they wanted to seal off from the exposed earth. Our specialist proposed covering the crawl space in our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This 20-mil reinforced polymer liner comes with a 25-year warranty against rips and tears and acts as a vapor barrier inside your crawl space. Its multiple layers of plastic make it flexible and puncture resistant. With this system in place, moisture and water vapor can no longer make their way inside your crawl space. Underneath it, we also installed our drainage matting to give any water coming up through the dirt the ability to move around and to further increase the durability of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. Once it was done being encapsulated, the homeowner was left with a dry and healthy crawl space!

Faced with the daunting issue of a musty smell emanating from their crawl space, this Bullville, NY homeowner knew it was time for intervention. The before photo captures the origin of the discomfort, an unsealed and vulnerable space prone to moisture — A common scenario for many homes. Our team at The Basement Transformer sprang into action, executing a remarkable transformation as vividly illustrated in the resultant after photo. We expertly installed our CleanSpace system to encapsulate the area, partnered with a SaniDry Sedona to efficiently dehumidify, and safeguarded the space with IceGuard to prevent future flooding risks. Notice the stark difference; our solution doesn't just eliminate the musty smell but also converts the area into a clean, dry, and habitable space.

When faced with water intrusion in their crawl space, a homeowner in Fanwood, NJ, turned to us for help. As you can see in the before photo, the area was damp and unwelcoming. But, not anymore! After installing our CleanSpace and IceGuard systems, the transformation is clear. Notice in the after photo how dry and protected the space looks. We've turned their worry into a peaceful mind by providing a reliable solution to keep their crawl space dry and their home safe.

Located in Sterling Forest, NY - this homeowner wanted their crawl space to be protected from flooding no matter what the weather could bring throughout all four seasons. We installed one of our sump pump systems for them and added the IceGuard Discharge Line System for additional security. The purpose of the IceGuard is simple – to help your sump pump continue to run smoothly in the event the main line freezes in the winter or becomes clogged. Our crew installed this outside of the home so that water is ejected away from the foundation and does not make its way into the crawl space. Digging out the land to install this discharge line was no easy task, since there was a lot of growth in the way, but our crew got it done. The IceGuard fits over the discharge line and creates a secondary escape route for the water, allowing it to leave through the slotted openings in the event the main line does freeze. Once successfully installed, the homeowner knew their crawl space would be safe from possible flooding during the winter. Their sump pump system would keep working thanks to the IceGuard even during the harsh New York winters.
