Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Nicholasville, KY, was damp, uninsulated, and contributing to uncomfortable indoor air conditions. The exposed soil and concrete walls left the home vulnerable to moisture, mold, and energy loss.

We installed our 20 mil CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floor and walls, paired with SilverGlo insulation panels to help seal and condition the space. The result: a clean, dry, insulated crawl space that now works for the home—not against it.

This homeowner in Lexington, KY, took great pride in having the best festivity decorations in the whole neighborhood. They stored a lot of their decorations in their basement, including the witches seen in this before photo. However, you may notice that the homeowner had to keep their storage items a few inches from the floor of the basement due to flooding concerns. On top of the flooding, the humidity levels were high in the basement due to moisture transference through the walls. When we waterproofed the basement with our subfloor drains, our sump pump, and our dehumidifier, we also made sure to wrap the leaky walls with our CleanSpace system. This bright, fresh, and durable vapor barrier will make sure that this basement stays dry and clean. Now that the basement is safe from moisture, the homeowners can feel safe storing their seasonal items in the basement. 

This crawl space in Lexington, KY, had a very serious moisture problem. The first step we took to get the moisture under control was waterproofing the crawl space. We waterproofed by installing perforated drainage pipes underneath the floor around the perimeter of the crawl space. We then hooked these pipes up to a sump pump in the corner. After waterproofing, we then sealed the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, spray foam, and vent covers. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the air in the newly transformed space dry and clean as possible. The homeowner was very pleased with the outcome, specifically the boost in their homes value.

To help this homeowner save money on energy bills, breathe cleaner air, and preserve their foundation, we encapsulated their crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. By sealing the space off from moisture and installing a dehumidifier, (not pictured) we were able to help transform this Lexington, KY, crawl space. Our vapor barrier is made of an antimicrobial material to prevent mold growth. It is also 20 milliliters thick to prevent the system from ripping. 

In Frenchburg, KY, the homeowner of a 20-year-old house faced a challenge with a 2-foot clearance crawl space plagued by moisture issues, leading to potential structural risks and unpleasant odors. In the before photo, see the impact of excess moisture affecting the environment within. By installing our CleanSpace® encapsulation system as highlighted in the after photo, we created a barrier that effectively manages dampness, turning the area into a clean, secure foundation.
