Before & After Photos

The before photo shows where the leaking water had damaged, discolored, and allowed mold growth on this crawl space’s walls. Making things even worse, the leaking water had also caused musty smells to the crawl space. In the after photo, you can see the solution we provided. CleanSpace is a plastic vapor barrier that was used to cover the dirt floor crawl space. Together with the SilverGlo Wall Insulation and Froth Pak foam that are covering the walls in the after photo, water will be kept out from this crawl space permanently. 

A husband and wife called us about their crawlspace that was wet and gross. We drove to their property to solve the issue. After inspection we decided that CleanSpace technology would be perfect for waterproofing this crawlspace.  CleanSpace is a 20 mil thick plastic liner that fits to the crawl space to completely seal the home from the earth. Polyester cord reinforcement allows for a lot of durability, to make it last longer than the home will. This liner also contains an antimicrobial additive to prevent mold. These homeowners should never worry about their crawl space ever again.

Our customer called because his crawl space had become a real problem. It had mold that was causing breathing problems, the ground was uneven and dangerous, and the plastic sheeting in place as a barrier of sorts was torn and messy. 

We installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier system along with SilverGlo insulation panels, and added SmartJack crawl space supports to reinforce the failing floor joists. To make sure that the crawl space stays protected, we also installed vent covers and a SaniDry dehumidfier.

As part of an ongoing repair project for the crawl space in the before photo, the owner had called and asked us for an encapsulation. The water that was inside isn’t visible in the photo, but the damage it had done is. Once the crew had removed the hanging insulation and the rest of the debris in the crawl space, they installed the CleanSpace plastic liner in the after photo.

CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that is impenetrable by moisture and unlike the previous encapsulation, it can protect both the floor and walls of crawl spaces. As you can see when comparing the two photos, the CleanSapce barrier was pulled tight and sealed to the walls to eliminate any possible entry points for vapor. The tough plastic will last for years to come and so will its protection. 

This customer called because they noticed that their basement was damp and had a musty smell. The crew found that their dirt crawl space was damp and moldy, resulting in a wet and moldy basement as well.

Dirt crawl spaces can cause many unexpected problems for a homeowner. Water vapor and any other sources of water within your crawl space are the perfect home for mold to thrive. Not to mention air flows upward, meaning the damp air from the crawl space is entering other parts of your home and bringing the mold spores with it.

CleanSpace is a puncture and tear resistant plastic liner that that stops water vapor and other sources of water from leaking into the space. The liner is made to last as long as your home and is fastened to the interior walls to ensure it stays where you install it.
