Before & After Photos

If you have buckling floors in your home, it may be time to schedule a free inspection with us. A similar occurrence happened with a homeowner in Carmi, IL, who had buckling floors in his home. The homeowner was concerned about moisture in his crawl space. Several negative effects can happen if moisture is escaping into your crawl space. Side effects include: buckling hardwood floors, mold, rotting, increased heating and cooling bills, and aggravated asthma and allergies. 

To seal off the crawl space from outdoor air that would otherwise disrupt the environment of the space, CleanSpace is installed. CleanSpace has an antimicrobial additive that prevents mold growth on the liner. A SmartSump is put in to carry water outside the crawl space through a discharge line that leads to outside. The moisture that was present had created buckling floors that needed to be stabilized with SmartJacks. The homeowner's crawl space was transformed into a healthy space where moisture was no longer welcomed! 

When moisture leaks into a crawl space, it can create a humid environment and it will cling to any organic materials, making them soft. This scenario is exactly what happened to a crawl space in Owensville, IN. A homeowner had creaking floors, that were caused by water vapor. Damp wood rots, which enables mold to grow on it. The homeowner wanted to waterproof his crawl space before the problem worsened anymore. 

A drainage matting was laid throughout the space for the CleanSpace to lay on top of. A drainage mat is helpful for water that comes in through the dirt ground to be carried to the sump pump. The CleanSPace is then laid on top of the drainage matting, sealing the floor and walls away from the outdoor air. To pump water out of the crawl space, that does not enter into the spaces in front of the ground, the SmartSump pump takes care of the problem! To create a constant airflow to prevent humidity, the SaniDry Sedona is hooked up. This dehumidifier disposes of water automatically by carrying any water vapor to the SmartSump. The homeowner was pleased to know that their home and health are protected. 

A homeowner in Evansville, IN needed his crawl space's vapor barrier protected, and knew that that was a job for Healthy Spaces. Upon inspection, the crawl space was humid and the dirt floors were damp underneath the black, 6 mil liner.  Fortunately, the humid climate was caught early, leaving the surfaces of the wooden beams mold-free. The homeowner needed the best possible solution set in place to prevent humidity, water, and mold in the crawl space. 

The crawl space was protected against a vapor barrier using CleanSpace to seal the floor and walls. Any water that comes through the ground will not affect the environment, but will instead be directed to the SmartSump that was installed. The crawl space was humid and needed to be controlled by using the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Once a reliable system was established, the homeowner will have peace. 

In Evansville, IN, the home was for sale, but when the inspection report was completed, it was reported that water was finding its way inside the crawl space through the entry door located outside. The panel was not secured in a way, resulting in water being able to seep through the sides. For the home to complete the inspection test, this would need to be taken care of. The realtor reached out to Healthy Spaces to handle the issue!

The old plywood panel that was used needed to be discarded and replaced with the EverLast Panel. The EverLast Panel is all plastic, so it will not rot, warp, or need paint. Knobs screw into the anchors in the wall and draw the door tight against weather stripping to seal off outside air. Once the job was completed, the realtor was able to sell the home!

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner contacted Healthy Space for a free inspection. Upon inspection, the crawl space had water standing on the 6 mil liner. The humid air smelled like mold, and when the wooden beams were examined closer, mold spores were spread throughout. The homeowner was ready to get the ball rolling and cast their worries away!

Mold remediation was completed to remove and treat any mold that is and would be on organic surfaces. EZ Flow drainage was put in to increase void space which provides improved water flow rates up to 35 percent. Next, a drainage matting is laid on the ground to direct water to the SmartSump that is installed. Once the drainage matting is completed, CleanSpace is put on top to seal the space from the outside air. The crawl space was not only protected against the weather but looked stunning!
