Before & After Photos

Our crew encapsulated this crawl space using CleanSpace.

Many homes have dirt floors in their crawlspaces. Not all homeowners, however, know the problems associated with dirt crawlspace floors. Some do find out later on down the line and try to remedy this issue with a plastic liner. However, many homeowners are not aware that not all plastic liners are created equally. This is exactly what this Camden, South Carolina homeowner discovered after they continued to have problems after the initial install.

The ‘before’ photo gives us a pretty good overview of the crawlspace before we came out to it. Now take a look at ‘after’ photo. See the difference?

The distance between the two liners’ efficiency is pretty vast. The posts aren’t covered. The liner isn’t pulled tight across the space and, for whatever reason; it’s so thin it almost looks translucent. This is not the appropriate liner for a dirt crawlspace.

Now, come back to All-Dry of the Carolinas liner in the ‘after’ photo. We take our CleanSpace liner up, at the very least, three inches on all surfaces within the crawlspace. If it isn’t suspended and it’s touching the ground, we cover it with CleanSpace to complete the sealing of the space. Otherwise, water vapor and other gases will slip right on through those openings. It’s an eerie look, that’s for sure, but it’s the most effective solution next to getting the space covered with cement. All in all, it looks pretty good.

Our crew installed push piers to support the foundation of this owner's home, located in Canon, GA.

Our crew installed a supplemental beam, and SmartJack supports to support the floor joist system. When installing SmartJacks with or without supplemental beams, the goal is to stabilize and stop further damage to the structure, not necessarily to level floors. 

This home in Franklin, NC had some major foundation issues on the back side of their home. There were several smaller cracks, but one huge one, which is shown in this before and after. These cracks were mainly due to foundation settlement and needed push piers in order to correct these cracks and for the home to have a sturdy foundation.

The "before" photo shows off shows this gap that was fixed using the push piers. As the tape measure shows, this gap was about an inch wide, which is pretty significant when referring to a crack in a home. This was already past the point of being an issue and needed to be taken care of sooner, rather than later.

The "after" photo shows how big of a difference the push piers that our crew installed, made. The gap was almost completely closed, and with a little mortar, the crack will completely disappear. These push piers do a great job in transforming a home and make it much safer for the homeowners to live in.
