Before & After Photos

This crawl space experienced ongoing water intrusion caused by a clogged gutter downspout directing water into a low-lying area of the home. Standing water and moisture buildup created the need for immediate drainage correction and long-term waterproofing.

Our team resolved the issue by installing three sump pumps to properly manage groundwater and redirect moisture away from the foundation. The crawl space was then fully protected with a complete encapsulation system, sealing the ground and foundation walls to prevent future water intrusion, improve air quality, and protect the home’s structural integrity.

This crawlspace started as a dirt-filled void—now it’s a clean, usable space. We removed the soil with a conveyor system, poured a concrete pad, installed an ICF retaining wall, and fully encapsulated the area above the retaining wall for long-term protection and storage efficiency.

This customer asked for a crawlspace encapsulation. The crew removed the old vapor barrier and any debris and were able to successfully complete the encapsulation. Crawl space encapsulation refers to the addition of a heavy-duty moisture barrier to the dirt floor of your crawl space, sealed foundation vents, insulated walls, and special crawl space dehumidifier(s).

This vented crawl space in Lake Tahoe, CA had severe issues with humidity and moisture infiltrating the home. After contacting Madole Construction, we sealed off the vents and fully encapsulated the space with our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The homeowner couldn't be happier with their clean, healthy environment below their home!
