All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

Your crawlspace may not be fully protected if it does not have a sealed entrance area. Take the crawlspace access well depicted here in the “before” photo as an example. It’s covered with moss and debris, which is understandable because it’s outside. However, if the well was a different material, this would not be a problem at all. Typically, access wells are rotted and leaky—features that we’ve erased with our Turtl access well.

Our well has no leaky joints. It’s made from rigid plastic, so it will never corrode or rot. Not only does it look better than the old access well, but it’s secure and lockable. But, don’t take our word for it, this Bryson City, North Carolina homeowner was quite ecstatic about the difference Turtl makes. In the “after” photo, you can see the difference for yourself.

The entrance of the crawlspace is just as important to maintain as the actual crawlspace. The door to your crawlspace is how everything gets in and out, humans and animals alike. In this Hiawassee, Georgia crawlspace there wasn’t even a door on their crawlspace entrance. But that wasn’t a problem for our All-Dry of the Carolinas team, once we were done with the inside of the crawlspace we added an EverLast door! This door will keep the elements out of the crawlspace!

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!
