Antique Crawlspace Update in Rochester, MN

A homeowner in Rochester was dealing with a crawlspace that had clearly been showing its age for decades. Built in 1900, the home’s crawlspace was far from typical. The homeowner had started noticing sagging floors on the main level, along with a strong musty odor coming from below the house. When our System Design Specialist arrived to inspect the situation, it quickly became clear this would be a challenging project. The crawlspace had multiple small “rooms,” extremely tight areas, and other sections with as much as 5' of clearance, making repairs very difficult. Moisture, failing support beams, and poor air quality were all contributing to the home's ongoing problems.   Despite the difficult layout, our team developed a customized solution that allowed us to restore the crawlspace without the need for major demolition. We installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system throughout the accessible areas to help seal out moisture, pests, and cold air that were affecting the home above. We also reinforced the failing support beams to help stabilize the sagging floors and improve the structural integrity of the home. The transformation not only improved the condition of the crawlspace itself but also helped create a healthier, cleaner, and more comfortable living environment throughout the main floor of the home.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Austin, MN

Rick is a homeowner in Austin, MN and customer of Complete Basement Systems.  Our company repaired his crawl space by installing a vapor barrier on the dirt floor of his crawl space using our patented CleanSpace System for crawl spaces.  Having this installed in your crawl space will protect the home above from the moisture, odors and other things that come from the earth under our homes.

Albert Lea, MN Crawlspace Encapsulation

This crawl space was suffering from chronic moisture intrusion, exposed soil, and deteriorating insulation. The block walls showed staining and signs of long-term humidity issues, and the unsealed ground allowed odors, mold risk, and temperature fluctuations to rise into the living space. The environment was inefficient, uncomfortable, and potentially damaging to the home’s structure.   Using our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, we transformed this crawl space into a clean, bright, and protected environment. The durable vapor barrier now seals off the earth and walls, preventing moisture intrusion and creating a controlled, energy-efficient space. The result is a healthier home, improved air quality, and long-term protection against mold, humidity, and structural decay.
