Before & After Photos

Customer called us and requested we take a look at their underperforming crawl space. Our certified home performance sales pro, Carl, visited the home where he created a plan that would create a functional and clea crawl space. Here is the before and after.

This home owner in Alexandria Virginia called us looking for help with their home. Our certified home performance sales pro, Jason, visited to do a free inspection looking to design a project that would help. Our production team removed the old insulation from the crawl space before installing a moisture barrier and Clean Space along with using spray foam insulation on the walls and rim joinsts of the crawl space. This will all help create a more controlled environment inside the home along with improved air quality.

This Alexandria, VA home was suffering from cold floors and a musty odor emanating from the crawlspace. This was having a serious negative impact on the comfort level of the home. When our sales professional Stephan went out to the property to perform a full home inspection, he determined that the best course of action to end their discomfort would be to waterproof and insulate the crawlspace. Stephan explained to the homeowners that the primary cause of their discomfort was the uninsulated crawlspace cooling down the floors in the rooms above and the lack of waterproofing allowing mold to build up which was causing the smell. After the homeowners agreed to Stephan's solution our service crews went out to get to work on the home. The crews started by clearing out all the debris in the crawlspace to create an even work surface and to turn the crawlspace into a useable space. Then they began laying down TerraBlock floor insulation to help the crawlspace maintain an even temperature. After that, they installed SilverGlo rigid foam insulation on the walls to prevent the crawlspace from making the floors cold. Finally, the crew installed CleanSpace covering over the floors to prevent any moisture build-up that could lead to mold growth or water damage.

This Arlington, VA homeowner called us due to a musty smell in their home. Our sales professional Pedro visited with the homeowner to provide a no cost inspection of the home to find out where the smell was coming from.  After completing the inspection Pedro was able to show the homeowners that there was a need for waterproofing within the home's crawlspace and a repair of some minor water damage. Mold growth had lead to the smell in the home above the crawl space.  Pedro determined that the best solution would be to replace what little waterproofing was currently in the crawlspace with a new high-end CleanSpace waterproofing and insulation system. Once the project was approved our service crews went out to get to work on the home. We removed the old insulation and the thin plastic tarp that had previously served as the crawlspace's only form of water protection. We then installed TerraBlock floor insulation that would act as a puncture-proof barrier that was both waterproof and discouraged growth from mold, mildew, and rot. After that, they Installed CleanSpace covering as a secondary layer of waterproofing and to provide a flat platform to improve the crawlspace's ability to act as storage. Finally, the crews applied spray foam insulation to the rim joists and installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier as the final layer of insulation and water protection to keep the home comfortable and mold-free year-round.   The crawl space is now sealed, conditioned and can be used by the homeowner if needed for storage.  

This crawl space in Madison VA was fully encapsulated inside with a moisture barrier, vapor barrier, dehumidifier and spray foam insulation.  All of the vents we covered and sealed along with the vent that had been part of the original crawl space door.  We replaced this piece of plywood which was damaged and old and had allowed rodents to get inside with a new, Everlast Door.  The Everlast Door is air tight and will never degrade.
