Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Hamilton, OH was in pretty rough shape when the homeowners gave us a call to inspect it for free. We told them it would be wise to block out moisture and to control the humidity levels in the crawl space by encapsulating it to prevent further damage to the wood framing. We encapsulated the tiny crawl space by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier and an energy efficient dehumidifier. We also told them it would be wise to strengthen the wooden framing of the crawl space by adding some sister joists to certain parts of the crawl space. As for the fiberglass insulation hanging from the ceiling, we told them it would be best to rip the fiberglass out completely and replace it with our foam insulation panels. The SilverGlo foam insulation panels go along the walls of the crawl space and are moisture proof, eliminating the need for new fiberglass insulation in the ceiling. After repairing their crawl space, this family doesn't have to worry about mold, rot, or high energy bills any longer!

A homeowner in Cincinnati, OH wanted to have their crawl space insulated, and so they called us for help.  The homeowner met with one of our Certified Inspectors, who recommended that we tear out the existing fiberglass, install our SilverGlo panels along the walls, spray our foam insulation over the rim joists, and wrap the entire space with our white CleanSpace vapor barrier to top it all off. This new crawl space will help the homeowners save money on energy bills through all seasons of the year.

In order to keep this crawl space safe from moisture, we placed down our CleanSpace crawl space liner, which will block out moisture from the earth. This liner went on top of our drainage matting, which can not be seen from the picture. The drainage matting helps drain water to the sump and also softens the area. We tape the liner at all seams with waterproof tape, and we button the liner up the walls of the crawl space. We also installed SilverGlo insulation along the walls, which are made of an inorganic material and are unable to grow mold. 

In Farmersville, Ohio, this crawl space was experiencing excess moisture, musty odors, and poor insulation—common issues that can affect the entire home. We performed a complete encapsulation, installing drainage matting, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SilverGlo™ insulation, spray foam on rim joists, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The “before” photos show a damp, neglected space, while the “after” images highlight a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawl space that helps protect the home from the ground up.

This crawl space in Franklin, OH, had succumbed to prolonged moisture exposure. This had caused the fiberglass to become moldy and heavy, must smells to persist throughout the rest of the home, and rust to appear on parts of their plumbing and ducts. We encapsulated this crawl space with our patented CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out ground moisture and outside air for good. This 20 mil thick vapor barrier is composed of antimicrobial material, and it is super durable and elastic. Now that the crawl space is clean and safe, the homeowners are free to store items down there as an added bonus!
