Before & After Photos

This customer in Hiawasse, GA had the typical issues that come with crawlspaces...wet, moldy, smelly, humid, and generally unattractive. These issues are not only about aesthetics. A wet and damp crawlspace is dangerous to your health because mold can grow when the humidity levels are too high. It can be costly because it will decrease the value of your home, as well as waste energy.

The "before" picture shows an uncontrolled space that is dark, dirty and damp. The solution is full encapsulation which includes sealing the entire crawlspace and sealing the vents to control the area, installing a dehumidifier to keep the humidity level low enough so that it is scientifically impossible for mold to grow, and installing a vapor barrier to damp-proof the space.

The "after" picture is the same crawlspace after the All-Dry of the Carolinas crew has completed a full encapsulation. What a difference! Not only is it practical, but attractive too!

This family in Hiawassee, GA was struggling to control the moisture levels in their crawlspace. Mold had begun to form around the crawlspace due to the high moisture levels.

To solve this problem our All-Dry of the Carolinas team had to tackle the situation from different angles. To begin, the mold needed to be removed from the area. Our team used Mold-X, which kills mold and also prevents future growth. Our team then placed CleanSpace in the crawlspace, wrapping it around the walls, floor, and piers. CleanSpace is a 20 mil tick liner that is laid across the crawlspace floor and wrapped around walls and piers. This liner works as a barrier to keep moister that is produced from the ground out of the crawlspace. In addition to the CleanSpace a SmartSump was added to the crawlspace as a way of pushing excess water that enters from outside. The SmartSump has a WaterWatch system which is an alarm to let you know if water has reached the top of the pump. The SmartSump works in coordination with the Aprilaire, a dehumidifier which is used to collecting extra moister that is produced under your home. The SmartSump has a dehumidifier drain that connects the two machines to fully expel water from the crawlspace. From the machines, the water is pushed from the crawlspace through a drainage system to the LawnScape outlet.

This customer had standing water, which created a very wet and humid crawlspace. In order to help alleviate and fix their problems. Our experts installed over 1200 Square feet of CleanSpace liner (on both the floor and the walls). we also installed drain tile, and a SuperSump pump to get rid of any water that does make its way into the crawlspace.

The "before" photo shows how bad of a condition the basement was in; insulation was falling, bricks and cinder blocks were just sitting there, and the clay and mud that made its way onto the previous liner.

The "after" picture shows the installation of the CleanSpace System. Not only is it functional and keeps the water out, but it looks great too! You, your kids, or any technician that does work under your house will love this!

When it comes to your crawlspace, protecting it from moister is very important. In this home the crawlspace was taking on large amounts of moister. Not only was moister the problem, but the crawlspace was littered with debris, trash, and an old liner.  To solve this problem, our All-Dry of the Carolinas team encapsulated the entire crawlspace.

When our All-Dry of the Carolinas crew made it out to Rutherfordton, NC they started their job by removing all trash and insulation that was littering the crawl space. The crawl space underwent a total encapsulation with CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, vent seals, an Aprilaire 1820, and a SuperSump Pump. A hole was dug in the crawl space so the SuperSump Pump could be placed into the ground even with the surface. Drainage matting was placed down before the CleanSpace, this is a dimpled matting system that collects water from the crawl space floor and directs it to the SuperSump Pump. This drainage matting is used when crawl spaces take in a lot of water and need extra help getting it from under the vapor barrier into the pump. From there, CleanSpace was installed which is a 20 mil thick liner that works as a barrier to keep ground moisture from the crawl space floor out of the air. The CleanSpace is then wrapped around the floor and piers of the crawlspace, tucking in tightly under the top of the SuperSump Pump. Once the crawl space is encapsulated an Aprilaire 1820 is added to the crawl space to remove excess moisture from the air into the SuperSump where it is then flushed from the area. Interior sealed vents were the last part of the crawl space encapsulation; they were placed over all vents to keep out air and pests.

The “before” pictures show a dirty crawlspace with unwrapped piers and floor. The “after” picture shows where CleanSpace has been wrapped around the floor and piers to prevent ground moisture from getting into the air.
