Crawl Space Drainage Matting in Pipestone, MN

This Pipestone, MN home has a crawl space underneath it. After showing the homeowner the benefits sealing his dirt crawl space can add to a home, he realized just what had to be done. A crawl space that has exposed soil such as dirt, allows for those water vapors to transmit to the rest of your home causing mold, moisture, wood rot and insects. The CleanSpace Encapsulation System with Drainage Matting is the answer to eliminate all of that to protect your home.

Major Makeover in Madison, MN

A homeowner in Madison, MN reached out to us frustrated with a crawlspace that had become a constant source of problems. The space featured a dirt floor, makeshift and failing support posts, and clear signs of pest intrusion. On top of that, persistent musty odors were creeping into the home, creating an uncomfortable and unhealthy living environment above.   Our team designed a permanent solution to stabilize and protect the crawlspace. We installed SmartJack to support and level the structure properly, replacing the unreliable “rigged” supports. To address moisture, odors, and pests, we fully encapsulated the crawlspace with CleanSpace, sealing the dirt floor and isolating the home from the ground below. The result is a cleaner, healthier, and structurally sound crawlspace that gives the homeowner long-term peace of mind.
