After replacing her floors once, this homeowner began noticing soft spots developing again. She was concerned that moisture in the crawl space could be contributing to the problem and wanted to address the underlying issue before it became a bigger concern, especially with plans to sell the home in the future.
Kyle and his crew completed a full crawl space encapsulation to help address the moisture concerns and create a cleaner, more controlled environment beneath the home. The homeowner can now have greater peace of mind knowing the crawl space has been properly addressed and she has taken an important step toward protecting her home for the future.
In these before and after photos you can catch a glimpse at some of the most vital parts of our encapsulation system. The white vapor barrier you see along the ground and up the walls of the crawl space is our CleanSpace Liner. It helps seal the crawl space and act as a shield against ground moisture. In the front of the image is our efficient crawl space dehumidifier, constantly working to keep this space at a much lower and safer humidity level. Behind the dehumidifier is our sump pump system, any collected water from below the liner, from the dehumidifier, or extra seepage will be sent away from the crawl space with a powerful, battery backed up pump.
Though there was plastic sheeting down in parts of the crawlspace, this home in Kokomo was still having moisture issues with their crawlspace. As we commonly see, the moisture was causing their floors to buckle inside the home. Thankfully, they called our office and we were able to help them come up with a personalized solution for the issue!
Melissa Johnson was the rep for this home, and walked them through the process of encapsulation. They decided it was their best option and had it installed! We removed the plastic sheeting as it holds and traps water droplets, causing mold and musty smells. Our system will eliminate these smells and helps the crawlspace stay clean and dry. Once the moisture is gone, the floors usually settle down as they dry out.
This crawl space went from damp to clean and protected. Ronnie and his team did a complete encapsulation system with drainage, moisture control, and dehumidification, giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind and a healthier home from the ground up.
This family inherited this home and was alerted to some potential issues when they noticed a faint mildew smell from inside the home. After getting in touch with us and setting up an appointment, we sent one of our design specialists out to take a thorough look at the underside of the home. As expected, moisture was found and it presented a future upcoming issue, if it was bad enough to smell, that means the next common issues, such as buckling floors, could be next. In order to prevent this and take care of the current problems, the owners were introduced to the encapsulation system. Combining the powers of a energy-efficient dehumidification system, a powerful sump pump, and the best vapor barrier you can find, the encapsulation system makes sure that moisture is tackled from every angle. Check out the before and after image below taken from this crawl space, our CleanSpace Liner completely transforms the space, more than just visually! The floor, walls, and supports of the crawl space are all securely fastened with this Liner, offering massive protection along with the other components. Next time they enter the home, it will be smell-free!
