Before & After Photos

Do you have a musty crawl space? The Basement Doctor of Cincinnati can help and we offer free quotes! Just look at this transformation!

This tiny little crawl space was actually in pretty decent condition before we encapsulated, which is actually pretty rare to see. Most people wait until the last minute, which as we all know, will end up costing more in the long run to repair it when you wait. Although in decent condition, this crawl space was showing signs of rot just barely on the beams near the walls and corners of the crawlspace. It was also not insulated the best, something the customer was concerned about. We installed an encapsulation of CleanSpace drainage and matting around the entirety of the crawl space. We also sprayed foam insulation up near the rim joists where the CleanSpace could not reach. We also installed Foamax on one side of the crawlspace, where the crawlspace was closest to the outside air. All in all this was a smart customer who encapsulated and insulated their crawl space so they could save money on energy bills, rim joists repairs, and more importantly, save the air quality they must live with by blocking out moisture. 

This crawl spaces floor in Dayton, OH, looked like it belonged on mars. All of the dust particles kept leaking into the upstairs level of the home, causing the homeowners breathing troubles. The crawl space was also very humid, which could cause the wooden framing to deteriorate at a rapid pace - if not accounted for. The homeowners decided they had enough one day, and called us out to encapsulate their crawl space, The Basement Doctor way. we installed drainage matting all over the floor, wrapped the walls in SilverGlo insulation, encapsulated the entire space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, and then set up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The result completely transformed the feel of the home, even from upstairs.

This musty crawl space in Morrow, OH, needed an encapsulation in order to help preserve and freshen the space. We wrapped the entire space with our 20 mil plastic CleanSpace vapor barrier to keep moisture locked out from the space underneath the home. This homeowner understood that around 50% of the air in their home was coming from the crawl space, which was causing mold and must to emit into the rest of the home. After we encapsulated the space with our antimicrobial vapor barrier, the homeowner noticed an immediate difference in how the rest of their home smelled and felt.
