Before & After Photos

Thomas and Becky called our team because of their damp crawl space. In order to prevent water intrusion, we insulated their rim joists. Insulating rim joists seals off all cracks that exist around them. Now air and water vapor can no longer seep through those cracks.

This home built in the 1930’s had a pretty problematic crawl space. Since it was vented, outside air and moisture was entering the space, as well as moisture from the dirt ground. This high level of humidity caused the fiberglass insulation to fall out of place, and even caused started to rot the floor joists, leaving the floor above sagging. Our team knew the best solution to saving this home was to address the structural concerns, and then seal off the crawl space with CleanSpace. CleanSpace is a durable liner made of polyester cord reinforcement that is fixed to the walls and floor to provide a moisture barrier. This keeps the humidity low, and the crawl space dry. CleanSpace is also manufactured with an antimicrobial additive, preventing mold from going in the crawl space. Now these homeowners can enjoy their time in their home without having to worry about a damp crawl space. 

This homeowner contacted us because of the standing water in her crawl space. Whenever it rained, water would stream right under the home into the crawl space through the block foundation. Once mold started to appear, she knew something had to be done.

Our team visited the home, and after eliminating the mold, we installed CleanSpace. This durable liner covers the floor and the walls and provides a barrier to moisture, allowing water to drain beneath the liner to the sump. CleanSpace is manufactured with an antimicrobial additive, so it also prevents mold from growing on the liner.

The last step to making this crawl space dry, was to add a SaniDry dehumidifier. This dehumidifier sits in the crawl space and wrings the air of moisture and drains directly to the sump pump, so the homeowner will never have to go in the crawl space to empty it. SaniDry also blows the dry air around the crawl space to dry the entire space.

CleanSpace helped make this crawl space dry and SaniDry keeps the air clean. Now the homeowners don’t have to worry about standing water and mold, but instead, they can relax knowing that that space is dry.

We received a call from a customer in Pewamo, Michigan. They told us that his basement had some water problems on the floor. We came to their property and gave them a free estimate, and decided to install many things including a SuperSump which will drain water out of the basement much better than their current waterproofing system. The SuperSump contains a pump stand (prevents clogging of any debris in the sump liner), pump alarm (for when the basement floods), and an airtight sump lid with a floor drain in it (helps water to go down but not air to come up).

This family cottage was recently passed down and the new owner decided her first change to the property would be to waterproof the crawl space. She noticed standing water was pooling and was concerned that the proximity of the cottage to the lake would cause it to happen again. Though when she called she was only looking for a sump pump, our system design specialist explained that if only a pump was installed the crawl space would still be at risk. That’s why when the crew went out they installed a full crawl space encapsulation to go along with the sump pump.

One of the great benefits of CleanSpace is its ability to be wrapped around everything in a crawl space. From walls to floors and piers, it doesn’t matter because CleanSpace can do it all. With a new SmartSump also installed, water will be swiftly discharged if it penetrates the dirt floor or the block walls. CleanSpace will keep that water and any moisture from reaching the structural integrity of the cottage. The plastic liner is ultra-durable and inorganic so mold won’t grow on it or the wooden piers as it was doing in the past. Thanks to CleanSpace, this family cottage is ready to be enjoyed once again.
