Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Strunk, Kentucky, was struggling to handle moisture. The floor joists started to show signs of early stage moisture damage, the space emitted musty smells into the upper levels of the home, and the unconditioned space was making it hard to heat and cool the rest of the home. We encapsulated the space underneath by wrapping the dirt floor, the block walls, and the concrete columns with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is similar to a pool liner, and it is composed of antimicrobial material. This encapsulation system will keep the space beneath this home safe for decades to come.

This before and after highlights why traditional vented crawl spaces often fall short. Many homes are built with wall vents, a thin plastic sheet over the gravel, and fiberglass insulation between the joists—methods that meet code but don’t always address real moisture concerns. In most climates, vented crawl spaces allow humidity to build up, leading to musty air and long-term damage. By encapsulating the space, as shown here, we’re able to control moisture, improve air quality, and protect the home’s structure for years to come. The silver insulation panels along the walls also replace ceiling fiberglass, creating a cleaner, more efficient solution.

This home in Richmond, Kentucky was on the market, and a third party inspector recommended to the owner that we should install a vapor barrier in the crawl space to help sell the home. We started by removing all the debris from the space, including the existing, "vapor barrier." We used quotes to describe the disheveled plastic liner that was already in the space because it wasn't stopping outside vapor at all. Next, we wrapped the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is much sturdier, cleaner, and effective. We ended up using 1,860 sq ft of our patented product, and we made sure to tape the seams with our CleanSpace tape to ensure the space was sealed completely. The antimicrobial liner, similar to a pool liner, will make selling this home a whole lot easier than before.

This crawl space in East Bernstadt, KY, was holding way too much moisture. Dirt floored crawl spaces allow immense amounts of moisture to rise up from the ground. It also didn't help that this crawl space had ground water leaking issues where pools of water could build up in the floor. To repair this crawl space, we started by installing a waterproofing system consisting of underground perforated drains backfilled with gravel connected to a sump pump. By waterproofing, we were then able to encapsulate the crawl space with an entire layer of our vapor barrier up and down the walls. We also threw in an energy efficient dehumidifier and insulation panels to help keep the crawl space dry and insulated. The result was a happy customer who is happy with their newly renovated dream home!

Before tackling this project in Williamsburg, KY, the crawl space was a homeowner's nightmare: damp, dark, and deserted. Guided by a friend's rave reviews, they turned to us for relief. Our solution? As you can see in the after photo, we transformed their space with our CleanSpace liner, keeping moisture at bay, added SilverGlow insulation for energy efficiency, and introduced a SaniDry Sedona to ensure air quality. The result? A crawl space that's as functional as it is pristine.
