Before & After Photos

The key to solving your crawl space problem is to turn your nasty crawl space into a nice crawl space, which is exactly what our client in Jasper, IN did! Their home previously had a 6 mil polyethylene ground cover, but because it wasn't sealed at the perimeter up the walls, and because the vents were left open, this crawl space had a lot of moisture that eventually turned to mold. Another big problem with 6 mil poly is that it easily rips and gets holes poked in it when you crawl on it. This is not a permanent solution!

The team at Healthy Spaces installed drainage matting underneath the CleanSpace liner, which allows water to flow to a sump in a crawl space that already has a concrete floor. Next, we sealed the entire crawl space with a 20 mil thick plastic liner, similar to a pool liner called CleanSpace. This bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through.

A Crawl Space Comeback: Clean, Sealed, and Secured in Jasper, Indiana

From damp, musty, and vulnerable to clean, controlled, and protected—this Jasper homeowner partnered with Healthy Spaces to completely transform their crawl space into a healthier, more efficient environment beneath their home.

Here’s how we brought this space back to life, step by step:

We began with fungus remediation, eliminating existing microbial growth to protect both the home’s structure and indoor air quality. After that, we applied a professional-grade cleaning solution and thoroughly scrubbed all exposed wood surfaces, removing residue and preparing the area for long-term protection. A barrier treatment was then applied to help prevent future fungal growth and moisture damage.

Next came insulation upgrades designed for performance and durability. We installed SilverGlo insulation panels, which are specifically engineered to reflect heat, regulate temperature, and reduce humidity levels within the crawl space. This helps keep floors warmer in winter and limits excess moisture that can lead to mold and structural issues.

We also added spray foam insulation at the rim joists, one of the most common areas for air leaks. This creates an airtight seal, preventing outside air, moisture, and pests from entering while significantly improving the home’s overall energy efficiency.

To ensure a clean foundation for the system, we removed all debris from the crawl space, eliminating anything that could trap moisture or interfere with the installation.

For long-term moisture control, we installed drainage matting beneath the CleanSpace liner. This layer allows any ground moisture to properly flow underneath the system, preventing buildup and enhancing the effectiveness of the encapsulation. The CleanSpace liner itself acts as a durable vapor barrier, sealing off the earth and locking out humidity.

Finally, behind the scenes, our team handled all administrative and project coordination, ensuring everything from material staging to warranty setup and ongoing training was completed to the highest standard—so the homeowner can have complete peace of mind.

The result?

A crawl space that’s no longer a source of concern—but a clean, dry, energy-efficient asset to the home.

This is a current project that our crawlspace installation team is working on today. They are completing a crawlspace encapsulation on a home with an old style vapor barrier and have just completed installing SilverGlo over the foundation walls to help the crawlspace be more energy efficient. Once the SilverGlo is installed, they will be removing the black plastic and putting down the CleanSpace engineered film to fully isolate the crawlspace from groundwater intrusion and outside air! We're looking forward to more photos as the day progresses!

Fordsville, KY, like most of the surrounding areas has two struggles to deal with: high groundwater levels and lots of dirt floor crawlspaces.  The combination of the two creates a crawlspace mold epidemic that has largely been ignored by many residents until the mold infestation is quite advanced.  After all, how often do we really inspect our crawlspaces?  As you can see here, the mold situation in this Fordsville crawlspace was advanced and causing issues like musty, damp smells throughout the home, increased indoor allergies, and more frequent sinus related and respiratory illnesses.  When the homeowners went to inspect the crawlspace, they discovered that mold was growing over practically every surface in the crawlspace.  The homeowners immediately contacted Healthy Spaces to get the crawlspace remediated.

Donnie Stutesville, a mold remediation expert with Healthy Spaces, came out and inspected the crawlspace.  He recommended a three pronged approach to resolving the crawlspace mold and moisture issues: 

1. Remediate the mold and fungus

2. Remove standing water, debris, and the like

3. Seal the crawlspace with a vapor barrier

Donnie recommended both a mold/fungus treatment and a preventative coating to stop regrowth.  He explained that the mold and fungus treatment would need to be scrubbed off of all surfaces to remove the dead fungi and spores, then that debris would need to be removed prior to coating the entire crawlspace with a preventative solution.  In addition, the crawlspace needed a water removal system with sump pump and a dehumidifier.  Finally, the entire crawlspace needed a powerful vapor barrier installed to prevent the crawlspace from becoming moldy again.  You can see in the after photo that the mold removal was successful and the wood looks great with it's clear preventative coating in place!

A homeowner in Philpot, Kentucky reached out with concerns about moisture and airflow in their crawl space, initially inquiring about vent solutions. After evaluating the space, it became clear that a more comprehensive waterproofing and encapsulation system would provide a long-term solution to protect the home from moisture damage, flooding, and poor air quality.

To address these concerns, we installed a complete crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation system. The project began with the installation of a SmartSump pump system, which included a durable liner, a cast iron pump, CleanPump Stand, and an airtight lid with an integrated floor drain and WaterWatch alarm system. This setup ensures reliable water removal while alerting the homeowner to any issues.

To safeguard against discharge line freezing or blockage, we added an IceGuard system, along with a LawnScape outlet at the end of the discharge line for efficient water dispersion away from the home. We also installed a StarPipe drainage system in key areas of the crawl space, connecting it to the sump pump via a discharge line. This required drilling through the footer to properly route the drainage system and extending the discharge line as needed.

Once the drainage infrastructure was complete, all debris was removed from the work area to prepare for encapsulation. We then installed the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system, creating a sealed barrier to prevent moisture intrusion. To further enhance insulation and energy efficiency, SilverGlo panels were installed along designated walls.

Additional improvements included installing an EverLast crawl space door for a secure, airtight entry point, as well as a 12-inch high plastic well ring around the access door to prevent surface water intrusion. Finally, all existing crawl space vents were sealed from the inside using SilverGlo and spray foam insulation, eliminating unwanted air exchange and helping maintain a controlled environment.

This comprehensive solution transformed the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient area, giving the homeowner lasting protection and peace of mind.
