Before & After Photos

Our customer contacted us to encapsulate his crawlspace as well as do mold remediation! Our customer knows the importance of encapsulation as it helps with sealing the earth from the comfort of your home. Encapsulation creates a dry and controlled environment which helps with moisture, mold , pests and poor air quality!

Our solution to help our customer is we installed clean space which is a 20 mil thick polyester plastic liner to seal off the home from the earth. The liner will last as long as your home. This clean space liner prevents water from permeating up from the floor from the soil. As well as also draining from the floor to the sump location. We installed a Smart Sump Pump System that has an airtight lid, a wired alarm, and comes with a drain that drains water from top of the clean space liner. We also installed our Sedona dehumidifier. 

Most crawlspaces have an entry like this.  A large open space that allows all sorts of undesirable stuff inside--critters, moisture, mold, and more.  The solution that commonly occurs is haphazard at best.  Plywood covering the entrance quickly warps and molds.  Leaving the entrance uncovered is an invitation for an infestation.  Blocking the entrance permenantly isn't possible either.

The team at Healthy Spaces installed an Everlast Crawlspace Door, which is constructed of rigid, durable plastic that won't discolor, warp, or mold.  It sits flush to the entrance, which prevents water intrusion.  In addition to the Everlast door, the team installed a new access well, which will further protect the crawlspace from entryway flooding.  

After your crawl space is repaired, we know you will take every measure to keep it in perfect shape. Now that there's no moisture from the earth creeping into your crawl space, it is the perfect time to seal off your crawl space door to keep all conditioned air inside. Leaky crawl space access doors will let cold air in the winter and humid air in the summer, causing condensation, mold, and rot in your crawl space. If you have a wood access door, it will eventually rot and warp and are not tough enough to keep paint on in the damp environment near the ground.  

A snug-fitting all-plastic door that stops air and moisture from entering is the answer. This EverLast crawl space door we installed at this Evansville, IN home seals off outside air, last in the damp environment near the ground, and will look great for years to come. Another great thing about the EverLast door is that it will keep outside air out, never need paint, and never rust or rot. 

Our client had a 6 Mil plastic liner, that easily rips and tears as you can see in the before photo. As well as in the before photo small water puddles throughout his crawlspace. Water in the crawlspace can lead to mold, bad air quality, structural damage and even unwanted pests. Any of these problems in your crawl space is no good to you or your family.

After working with our client we put together their accomplish list to create a healthier plan for their crawlspace! We first installed our CleanSpace 20 Mil thick vapor barrier, that withstands holes and rips in your liner, making it a clean and bright space while also protecting your home from the water seeping up through soil. Next we installed our SmartSump System in the crawlspace which is a extremely effective way to help keep your structural damage to a minimum, and keeps unwanted pests out! Also stops mold growth as well as preventing standing water in your crawlspace. Installing a Sump Pump System will give you peace of mind knowing your home is now protected from more costly damage to your home.

This crawl space in Evansville, IN home, had no vapor barrier and issues of moisture in the basement. Exposed earth contributes to a lot of water vapor into the crawl space air. The earth is damp, and as that damp soil dries beneath the house (in this homeowner's case open basement), the water vapor moves upward. By installing a crawl space vapor barrier it's the perfect way to keep water and moisture from your crawl space.

Healthy Spaces provided moisture protection by installing CleanSpace Drainage Matting under our CleanSpace Liner. Crawl space liners rest directly on the crawl space floor. If your crawl space is flooding, water can be trapped underneath, never making it to your perimeter drain. By installing our CleanSpace Drainage Matting, it has raised dimples that will channel flooding water underneath your crawl space liner, directing it either the perimeter crawl space drain system or the sump pump. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a durable, bright white crawl space liner that installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. The CleanSpace liner is a durable 20-mil crawl space liner that converts your crawl space into a usable storage area.

This Evansville, IN homeowner is happy to have a clean and dry environment in their crawl space thanks to Healthy Spaces!
