Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This crawl space had a pool of water inside and was not stable. To correct these issues, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and our SmartJack System. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System is a 20-mil thick polymer liner that seals off the crawl space from the earth and prevents water vapor from getting inside. The SmartJack System consists of supports made of galvanized steel, which means they will never rot or rust and can support extremely heavy loads. Now this crawl space is dry and stable, giving the homeowner peace of mind. 

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.

A crawl space located in Highland Mills, NY looked like a total disaster. There were cobwebs and dirt everywhere. The old insulation was peeling off the walls and the ceiling. Nothing about this crawl space looked or felt safe, and that’s why this homeowner gave us a call. Our crew knew that our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and Foamax Wall Insulation Panels would be the answer to this homeowner’s problems. 

The Foamax Wall Panels went all along the perimeter of the crawl space and the CleanSpace Encapsulation System covered the entirety of the floor. 

Unlike typical forms of insulation made from fiberglass, Foamax is waterproof and does not support mold or mildew growth. Foamax is made of polyisocyanurate foam and features a foil vapor barrier on its backside, which reduces condensation and protects against moisture. 

The CleanSpace Encapsulation is the perfect waterproofing solution that also provides protection against mold growth and pest infestations. It is a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner with a drainage mat installed underneath, which forms a permanent seal for leaking crawl space floors. This vapor barrier system will ensure that the water stays out and the humidity is under control. 

Once our team was done, this homeowner had a safer and dryer crawl space! 

A homeowner in Parksville, NY had a dirt crawlspace with humidity issues, so they contacted our team at The Basement Transformer to see how we could help. Upon inspection, our crew figured out that our CleanSpace Encapsulation System would stop the water vapor from coming up through the soil. This 20-mil reinforced polymer liner is designed to prevent moisture from seeping into your crawl space. This vapor barrier also creates a healthier and cleaner environment in your home overall, since mold and mildew growth cannot grow on CleanSpace. This material is also extremely flexible and durable, which means it allowed us to customize the fit inside of this dirt crawl space filled with irregular shaped rocks and uneven surfaces. We seal it around these types of obstructions and at the seams with special tapes and other sealants. CleanSpace is made to be strong and durable as well, meaning it’s resistant to wear and tear and stays in place. Once our crew was finished, this homeowner was left with a clean and dry crawl space that was protected from the elements.

Our team sealed off this crawl space from the earth and prevented water vapor from getting inside using the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. This 20-mil reinforced polymer liner is extremely durable and helps to prevent mold growth and rotting wood. Drainage matting was placed underneath to enhance the longevity and durability of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. We also used SilverGlo to insulate the crawl space and to stop air leaks from happening. Once our team was finished with the job, this crawl space was now a dry and healthy environment!
