Before & After Photos

This unfinished basement in Berryville VA had wet floors throughout most of the space including an attached crawl space.  The existing sump pump wasn't placed correctly so water was building up all around the dirt floors making mud and wet spots.  The water was coming in through the walls and under the foundation whenever it rained and the basement was too humid and smelled musty.  Our production crew laid down Terra Block and drainage matting to cover and seal in the dirt floors, allowing air to flow beneath and the water to keep from collecting anywhere in the basement.  Clean Space was used to cover it all and to wrap the foundation piers and lower parts of the wall.  This created a proper moisture barrier and kept the musty smell from being able to develop further.  

In addition to reconditioning the inside of crawl spaces, we also focus on making sure that the access to them is suitable and functional.  This crawl space had a piece of plywood covering the very raw entrance point.  Our production crew built a frame in installed a new door that will stay closed and preserve the insulation and air sealing inside.  

This home in Upperville Virginia had a nasty crawl space.  It was musty smelling and had mold present in the old insulation and around the crawl space ceiling.  Our Certified Home Performance Sales Pro Eric was able to design a plan using the right products to help keep the unwanted water and moisture in the crawl space contained and to help improve the air quality in the home.  The floors were insulated and covered with drainage matting and a vapor barrier.  The support piers in the crawl space were sealed and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to remove moisture from the air.  This will all help keep the crawl space drier, make the home more comfortable, and improve the air quality in the home.  

The proper ground covering can make all the difference when waterproofing or encapsulating a crawl space.  The first step in most projects we work on is trying to level or even out the ground inside of the crawl space as much as possible and then laying TerraBlock matting with CleanSpace surface covering it.  This controls and moisture or humidity below the material and keeps the surface dry and useable for storage if the homeowner chooses.  

This Purcellville VA crawl space needed a full transformation to help improve the air quality of the home and rooms above, to better insulate the lower areas of the home and to control the unwanted moisture and water in the crawl space.  Encapsulation of this crawl space was done by removing the existing insulation, using spray foam to insulate and air seal the rim joists of the home, laying Terra Block to cover the dirt floors and then covering the surfaces and walls with Clean Space.  This all helps to reduce outside air and temperatures from impacting the crawl space and creates a barrier between the dirt floors and the rest of the home.  A sump pump was installed to discharge any water collected out of the home.
