Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Brookville, OH, had concerns with their musty smelling crawl space. The builder of the home told them there was a vapor barrier beneath the pea gravel in the floor of the crawl space, so the homeowner was confused as to why it still smelled so bad. Our Inspector dug through the pea gravel to find the vapor barrier covered in water. We explained to the homeowner that the best way to prepare this crawl space for a long future was to encapsulate it properly by sealing the space with our CleanSpace liner. We started by laying down our dimpled drainage matting all across the pea gravel floor, (which will help provide strength & moisture control underneath the vapor barrier we installed over it). We then wrapped the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, making sure to tape it at all the seams, and we even wrapped the concrete pillars. We also installed SilverGlo insulation along the walls, which will help the homeowner save money on energy in the winter. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the transformed space dry as can be, 24/7. The homeowner was happy with the outcome, and more happy that their spouse has healthy air to breathe. 

Many homes in our area have both a crawl space and a basement, as was the case for this project in Germantown, OH. The homeowners were frustrated with their 2.5-foot crawl space, which was musty and emitting unpleasant odors. The smells were especially strong whenever they went down to the basement to do laundry, store items, or work out. Wanting a solution, they reached out to us for crawl space encapsulation.

We sent one of our inspectors for a free quote, and after reviewing the proposal, the homeowners agreed to move forward. Within a couple of weeks, we began the project. For smaller crawl spaces like this one, we have specialized crews experienced in working within tight areas. A two-man team, Mike and Oscar, completed the encapsulation in just five hours, leaving the homeowners with a cleaner, fresher space.

This crawl space renovation in Lebanon, OH, completed in December 2024, shows just how transformative a proper encapsulation can be. The original crawl space had only a thin layer of plastic on the floor, which wasn’t enough to keep out moisture. We began by installing a full waterproofing system, featuring underground perforated pipes, our SmartSump sump pump, and a battery backup for reliable protection. Next, we separated the crawl space from the earth with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, covering both the floor and walls. To maintain a healthy, dry environment year-round, we installed an automatic, energy-efficient dehumidification system. Finally, we upgraded their access with our air-tight Turtl door. The result is a completely dry, fully protected crawl space—and very satisfied homeowners.

This wet, gravel-floored crawl space in Morrow, OH, was giving the homeowners trouble by spreading musty smells throughout the upper levels of the home. We transformed the crawl space in one day by installing 1036 sq ft. of CleanSpace (vapor barrier) with drainage matting floors. We also wrapped the walls with our SilverGlo insulation and more of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. We topped the job off by installing our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This job will make sure this space stays strong and dry for the long future, and the homeowners could immediately notice a difference from above. 

We encapsulated this crawl space in Goshen, OH, so that the homeowners can have a healthier home that will help them save money on energy, breathe better quality air, and prevent future costly repairs. We encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace liner, which is 20 mils thick and very flexible. The CleanSpace is antimicrobial, and won't grow mold. It will also help keep out moisture. We also installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier in order to keep this treated space as dry as we want it to be. With an automatic sensor, this dehumidifier is capable of removing up to 100 pints of water out of the air in a day. The result of this encapsulation is a new crawl space feel, even when living above it.
