Before & After Photos

Before Healthy Spaces came out to fix this Crofton, KY crawl space, there was a surplus of mold growing on every surface in their crawl space. They had been in their home several years but put the thought of a moldy crawl space in the back of their minds. What they didn't know was that a mold problem only grows bigger and bigger the longer you leave it alone. Ultimately, the mold will end up ruining your home, your health and your family's well being. 

Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, came out to the home to offer solutions to their problems. Here you can see in the before and after photo that our team worked to remove all the debris and organic material from the crawl space. With that out of the way, they could start the mold removal process. The first step is to seal off openings to prevent cross-contamination and then remove airborne contaminants by using air scrubbers. Next, we used a HEPA vacuum to remove any loose contaminants. And lastly, we applied a solution that foams on contact, then it penetrates the soil load which will leave a contaminate free surface.

The after photo shows the amazing difference that the mold remediation team at Healthy Spaces created.

Homeowner in Crofton, KY had issues with humidity in their crawl space which eventually caused mold to grow on the floor joists. When you have humidity in the crawl space, it can lead to the following problems: rotting & mold, odors & allergens, and higher utility bills just to name a few. As humidity builds in your crawl space, it creates an ideal space for mold and rot to grow which is exactly what our client was experiencing. After hearing that their neighbors used Healthy Spaces, they decided to give us a call for a free, no-obligation inspection. 

Our team first needed to remove any materials that had been exposed to mold spores before we could remediate them. Once that was completed, Sean and his team, treated the entire area with chemicals to kill any remaining mold and would prevent any further growth. Once all the mold was removed and the area was treated, our team installed a new vapor barrier throughout the crawl space and sealed all vents. Controlling ground moisture with a vapor barrier is a crucial part of keeping your crawl space dry and creates a healthier environment for your family to breathe.

The homeowner in Mortons Gap, KY, was not happy about water coming in his crawl space so he decided to contact the talented team at Healthy Spaces. The team sealed the crawl space with the durable, bright, and mold resistant CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot. 

The homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawl space is now a drier and healthier environment!

Crawlspaces are notorious for having mold problems and being incredibly energy inefficient.  This crawlspace in Elberfeld, IN was pretty typical for crawlspaces in the area: dirt floor, occasional flooding, open vents and doorways, and uninsulated walls.  The experts at Healthy Spaces set out to change the space for the homeowners into an area that would be conditioned and energy efficient.  In this case, the entire crawlspace was treated for mold and the existing, moldy insulation was removed.  Every surface was scrubbed and the floor leveled.  Next, the installation team insulated with the walls with a product called SilverGlo.  It's a high efficiency, mold resistant panel insulation secured around the inside of the foundation walls.  The spaces in between the subfloor joists are also insulated and secured in place with expanding foam insulation.  Once those components are set and dried, the team will encapsulate the entire crawlspace with CleanSpace.  The crawlspace will then be isolated from the dirt and outside air, allowing for greater energy efficiency and warmer floors this season!

Our client in Chandler, IN, had a crawl space adjacent to their basement that was under only one room on the main floor. There appeared to be moisture and potential mold in the space. It also had insulation that would likely need to be replaced. They called Healthy Spaces to help determine their best option for fixing their crawl space. 

To eliminate the moisture problem, System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, proposed installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Installing a vapor barrier slows or prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the crawl space air. The CleanSpace vapor barrier turns your crawl space into a semi-conditioned space. When that occurs, your floors feel warmer in the winter and your energy bills go down.
