Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Bluemont, VA were experiencing mildew smells and high humidity. Their allergies were flaring up because of this. 3 Pros Basement Systems alleviated these issues. We controlled the humidity coming in by removing all of the existing insulation, sealed up the sump basin, and installed our CleanSpace wall system. We then dehumidified the basement further by installing our Sedona dehumidifier. 

Crawl space encapsulation, or sealing, is the treatment that building scientists recommend to turn a damp, dirty, moldy crawl space into a clean, dry space where mold can’t grow. If your crawl space looks anything like this before photo, give us a call at 3 Pros Basement Systems and turn your crawl space into an asset rather than a liability. 

Your home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. If your crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, this will extend to every part of your home. At 3 Pros Basement Systems, we specialize in crawl space problems of all types. Here we installed our CleanSpace System. CleanSpace, a 20-mil vapor barrier that is poly-string reinforced and contains an antimicrobial called UltraFresh. It is laid on the crawl space floor and fastened to the walls six inches above the outside grade (to direct any moisture entering through the cinderblock down to the earth) and wrapped around piers. All seams are overlapped and sealed to isolate the crawl space off from the earth's moisture. 

Water Guard is an excellent solution for unwanted water in a basement.  This Marshall VA home had excessive water coming in through the foundation and walls.  Jackhammering out a channel in the concrete floor allows for Water Guard to be buried and then covered over with a fresh layer of cement.  A dry basement with reduced moisture and humidity in the air is the end result.  

This crawl space had a rocky dirt floor and needed insulation to keep the surrounding rooms conditioned. We applied CleanSpace liner wall-to-wall and SilverGlo insulation to achieve conditioning.
