Before & After Photos

This crawlspace had some big rocks in it, but fear not, The Basement Doctor can navigate. CleanSpace matting is flexible enough for any obstruction, and will still block out all negativity.

We encapsulated this dark, pea-gravel crawl space in Junction City, KY, with a CleanSpace vapor barrier to reduce humidity and create a cleaner, brighter environment. The homeowner already had a ventilation system in place, so no dehumidifier was needed. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels along the walls (concealed behind the barrier) and sealed the rim joists with spray foam for added efficiency. The result was a happy homeowner.

For crawl spaces that hold lots of air ducts, plumbing, and other utilities, it can be very beneficial to encapsulate them. With an encapsulation you can protect your utilities from freezing temperatures, rusting, pests, floods, and mold. Not only will this help you save big on energy bills, it will save you from costly repairs down the road. For this home in Nancy, KY, the homeowner thought getting their crawl space encapsulated was the right move too. We started by installing our waterproofing system with perforated pipes and three SmartSump sump pumps. We then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting, along with our SilverGlo insulation panels. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and sealed all the vents. The result is a protected crawl space that will save the homeowner on energy bills, and from costly repairs down the road.

This homeowner in Versailles, KY, called us after heavy rainfall caused their crawl space to flood. They wanted a permanent solution—not just a quick fix—so we introduced them to our encapsulation system. We explained that it doesn’t just stop flooding, but also blocks moisture entirely, creating a cleaner, healthier, and longer-lasting crawl space. They were all in.

In the after photo, you can see the main “organs” of our system at work:

• SmartSump Pump with UltraSump Battery Backup – the “heart” of the system, collecting groundwater through its “veins” (our drainage channels) and pumping it safely out of the foundation. The UltraSump acts like a “pacemaker,” keeping the heart beating even during a power outage.

• SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier – the “lungs,” automatically controlling humidity so the air stays clean and dry.

• CleanSpace Vapor Barrier – the “skin,” sealing out moisture, bugs, and dirt for complete protection.

• SilverGlo Wall Insulation – the “fatty tissue,” locking in warmth during the winter and improving energy efficiency.

With all these components working together, this crawl space now has the full anatomy of a healthy, protected foundation.

The owner of this new home wanted their new crawl space properly prepared for the future. We installed our standard crawl space repair system consisting of a SmartSump sump pump hooked up to a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, CleanSpace lining, drainage matting, and EverLast crawl space door. The result is a crawl space that is properly prepared for the future and will surely last a long, long time.
