All-Dry of the Carolinas Before & After Photos

This homeowner gave All-Dry of the Carolinas a call when he noticed that his crawl space seemed "wetter" than it should have been. Unfortunately, when our Service Design Specialist came out, the homeowner was exactly right. The relative humidity level in the crawlspace was much higher than it should have been. In order to fix this, our Specialist suggested CleanSpace liner, as well as a dehumidifier.

The "before" photo gives a look into what the crawl space looked like before our crew was able to come in and install our products. The crawlspace definitely was not in the best of shape, there was trash and spider webs all over the crawlspace. The fortunate thing for this homeowner was that there was no standing water in the crawlspace, just a high relative humidity.

The "after" picture shows the same area, but with the CleanSpace installed. This homeowner wanted to make sure they wouldn't have problems with their crawlspace, so they opted to have a full encapsulation, which basically means that everything but the very top of the walls and ceiling was covered with CleanSpace. Doing it like this prevents water or water vapor to get into the crawlspace through the floors and/or wall.

"Customer had signs of moisture in her crawlspace causing a musty odor, mold, and foundation problems. Design Specialist Jonathan Geddie went out to give a free estimate, assess the customer's concerns, and present the best solution for her space. Our crew then installed our Cleanspace system, a SuperSump pump to discharge water, and a dehumidifier to maintain healthy air quality and keep the humidity down. The customer was very pleased with the work and is excited about the quality of her home now that the crawlspace is clean and dry.”

Unfortunately, many homes have basements that are almost unusable or unsafe because of the water intrusion in their basements. This homeowner was dealing with a great deal of water intrusion, which is why they originally called us. They used their basement to store a lot of their things, most of which seemed to be paper products. Having paper products with water intrusion can be very bad, because it allows mold to grow easier and water can easily destroy documents and other papers/boxes.

The "before" photo shows what the basement looked like before any work was done for the homeowner. As you can see, the water intrusion has caused some pretty extensive damage to the floor and wall in this area. You can tell that this had been going on for awhile and something needed to be done to correct it. Fortunately, our Systems Design Specialist knew exactly what needed to be done.

The "after" picture shows what the same area looked like after our crew went to the home to install our system. The crew started by removing a few inches of concrete from the wall, as well as a large hole for the SuperSump. Once the concrete is removed, the sump pump is installed and the WaterGuard drain is put in as well. These two products work together extremely well in order to keep water out and away from the home.

This was a small part of a large crawlspace encapsulation in Williamston, South Carolina. If you'd like to see and read more about this home and exactly what we did to it, check out the case study that is linked below.

The "before" photo shows what the entrance to the crawlspace looked like before our crew installed any products. As you can see, it does not look like it is in the best shape, but more importantly, you can see how much open space there is around the door. When doing a crawlspace encapsulation with CleanSpace, you need to keep as much outside air from coming in as possible. With a door like this, you might as well have no door at all.

The "after" picture shows off the Everlast Door that we use for crawlspaces. This door covers the entire opening to the crawlspace and creates an airtight seal. This seal keeps any outside air from coming in from the opening.
