Before & After Photos

This homeowner was experiencing a musty smell in his house that he wanted to get rid of. He gave Thrasher Foundation Repair a call and System Design Specialist, Elliott Christians, came out to meet with him. Elliot found his crawlspace was not encapsulated, which was causing the musty smell to rise into the living area. Elliott proposed we use our CleanSpace, our durable and waterproof encapsulation system to help combat this musty smell and help keep the home safe. Check out the before and after to this project! 

Homeowner Louis R. in Norwalk, IA was looking to check off some home improvement projects starting with ridding the crawlspace of dampness and humidity that was affecting the rest of his home.

System Design Specialist James visited the home to provide a free, same-day estimate.  We started by installing Cleanspace with a drainage mat to provide a protective barrier from the ground to the home.  Next, we blocked off exterior vents, and installed a SmartDrain with our Sedona dehumidifier.  With our system, we were able to control the moisture in the crawlspace which benefited the rest of the home.

Susie is a homeowner in Marshfield, MO, and needed some help with her crawl space. The crew went out to her home and recommended encapsulating and giving the beams support. They started with the walls and encapsulated them with Clean Space to keep all of the moisture out. Then to offer the floor much-needed support they installed Smart Jacks with a new supplemental beam. 

Darrell and Dixie N. have been doing work on their home and wanted to make sure that the foundation was stable. Darrell and Dixie noticed that the drywall was cracking and the floors were buckling. Concerned that they work they have done on their home would be worth nothing, they decided to call Thrasher for a permanent solution that wouldn’t cause any more problems.

The crew went out to their home and saw that the crawl space had water, the floor was buckling, and drywall cracks were throughout the home. We installed 22 SmartJacks to lift and stabilize the floor. We also put in a sump pump and fully encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace so the space would stay dry. Darrell and Dixie were very excited to no longer have to worry about the floors or crawl space.

This customer was experiencing cold floors caused by poor insolation of their crawl space.  We installed full encapsulation with insulation to walls and rim joists of the crawlspace.
