Before & After Photos

We have now determined that a vented crawlspace is a bad idea. Initially, it was assumed that the vents would act like car windows and one vent would allow in fresh outdoor air and the vent on the opposite wall would let the air out, but air pressure laws preclude this from happening. Air pressure in a home makes the vents perform more like a chimney. All vents suck in air and force it upward through the home. This is called the stack effect. The rising air brings with it all the mold, mildew, dust, and allergens and disburses it throughout the home before the air leaves out the highest level.

This stack effect reduces the energy efficiency of the home and can drastically decrease the lifespan of your HVAC system, while increasing your heating and cooling bills.

Cleanspace vent covers go over the old, inefficient vent covers and leaves a clean looking finish that will seal off the outside air completely. 

Crawlspace entries are about as unsightly as can be, especially on a lovely brick home.  There's just no good way to disguise that piece of plywood or sheet metal tacked over the opening.  In fact, many homes have access wells around the entry door and that draws even more attention to the space.  

The Healthy Spaces team helped this Boonville, KY homeowner with their crawlspace entry by removing the rusting access well and installing a durable Turtl crawlspace entry door.  Besides creating a feature that blends in with the earth tones of the home, the Turtl is also able to be locked securely from the outside.  It's rugged plastic exterior won't fade, warp or crack either.  Now, instead of dealing with a drafty and unsecured crawlspace, the homeowners have the latest in crawlspace entry security and aesthetic appeal!

Another successful installation of one of our sump pumps. Here you can see the hole dug and then after the sump pump is placed in the hole and cemented.

This shows what a wall looked like before our team cleaned it up and installed one of our Dry Tracks to help divert moisture toward the sump pump.

You can see how Brightwall looks after it is installed. It helps direct water toward the sump pump in order for the basement to be drained more effectively.
