Before & After Photos

This crawl space was showing signs of moisture, as seen in the before picture below. Mold spores were beginning to rot away at the wood, so the customer wanted to block out moisture. We installed Clean Space all over the crawl space to properly encapsulate. We also installed a SmartSump which is equipped with an alarm to warn of power outages and plumbing issues. It also connects to the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which collects lots of water through the moisture in the air. The customer also opted for SilverGlo insulation, the shiny foam panels seen in the picture. 

In 2017, our trusted team visited a home in Bagdad, KY, for a foundation check, and honesty led us to reassure the homeowner their foundation was stable, saving them from unnecessary work. By 2024, their priority shifted to a chilly crawl space. As seen in the photo, we transformed this vital but overlooked space from cold and uninviting to a warm, energy-efficient area using our CleanSpace encapsulation, SilverGlow insulation, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Remarkably, comfort and peace of mind were restored, showcasing our commitment to lasting solutions and unparalleled customer journeys.

Before

The homeowner had a basic, uncovered crawl space access point that was not only an eyesore but also a vulnerability. The open entry allowed moisture, pests, and debris to enter freely, contributing to potential mold growth and energy inefficiency. Additionally, the lack of a proper access well made entry into the crawl space cumbersome and potentially hazardous.

After

To address these issues, we installed the EverLast™ Access Well, a durable, heavy-gauge polyethylene structure that provides a clean and secure entryway. Its 48-inch width ensures ample space for access, and its stackable design allows for customization to the desired depth. Complementing this, we fitted an EverLast™ Crawl Space Door, constructed from ½-inch-thick PVC plastic, known for its resistance to warping, cracking, and maintenance-free longevity. The door's airtight and waterproof seal effectively blocks external elements, enhancing the home's energy efficiency and protecting the crawl space from moisture and pests.

This crawl space had ground water leaking from just underneath the floor. We installed a perimeter drainage system consisting of perforated pipes placed in trenches backfilled with gravel, all connected to a SmartSump sump pump. We then installed drainage matting and CleanSpace liner over the floor of the crawl space. We then hooked up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to the pump. We also insulated with SilverGlo panels over the CleanSpace on the walls. 

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.
