Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In the “before” picture you see a crawl space that has an old liner and debris. Our crew cleared the crawl space of the debris, old insulation, and old liner.

In the “after” you see where our All-Dry team has removed all debris and have installed CleanSpace on the crawl space floor and have wrapped the piers.

Crawlspaces are often not taken advantage of nearly as much as they should be. This crawlspace ended up being a trash dump for rocks, tubing, and just about anything else. Unfortunately a lot of crawlspaces look very similar to this one before it had CleanSpace installed. Crawlspaces are a huge part of your home and have great uses, like a ton of extra storage, but many people don't realize the potential for it. 

This homeowner was having issues with too much moisture in their crawlspace, which is why they initially had one of our System Design Specialist out to the home who recommend a SmartSump Pumping System as part of the solution . However, once our crew came out to the home and rolled out the CleanSpace, the homeowner realized the potential that they had with this "new" crawlspace. While they were certainly excited that the moisture problem had been taken care of, they were also excited that they had a new area of the home to use!

This homeowner in Clinton needed some work done in the crawl space. Fortunately they caught the problem before any major damage was done. This customer went all out in the products they decided to have installed. They were educated on the dangers of a wet or damp crawl space, and all of the problems it could cause in the future. The main products they installed were the SantaFe Dehumidifier, SmartSump Pump system, and CleanSpace Liner and drainage matting. The combination of these products really provides great protection and prevention of problems later on.

The "before" photo shows an area of the basement before we had installed our products. While the picture is a little dark, you can see the old liner, which does not offer much protection at all. Towards the back of the picture, you can see fallen insulation, which is a sign of moisture in the crawl space.

The "after" photo shows a much more pleasant area to be in and look at. This is the same area as before. The biggest difference is just how bright it is, the white, reflective surface is great when you (or any repairmen) are working under your home. We just wish all of the benefits were as obvious as the physical look of CleanSpace! The benefits that you can't see (at least not at first) include the decrease and sometimes complete elimination of moisture under your home, decreased heating and cooling costs, and several more!

This homeowner called All-Dry of the Carolinas when they started noticing a strange smell in their crawlspace. Unfortunately, this is an extremely common sign of a high humidity level in the crawlspace. This crawlspace was not in too bad of shape, but it had enough moisture coming from the ground and walls that they needed some type of system to take care of the problem.

Our Systems Design Specialist, Alex Rogers, went out to this home just a few days after they called, to get a better look at the area and really determine what kind of system this family needed to make their crawlspace happy and healthy. This system included 3-inch drain tile, a SmartSump pump, a dehumidifier, and of course CleanSpace liner. This homeowner got the full CleanSpace encapsulation!

The difference between these two photos is incredible, both physically and functionally. The most obvious difference between the before and after pictures is the CleanSpace that was installed. It completely changes the look of the area, but it also provides a great service. The CleanSpace (along with the rest of the products) keep the moisture out of the crawlspace so that the family doesn't have to worry about this anymore!

Very few crawlspaces can look like the one we have here in the “before” picture, and not affect the rest of the home. In the worst case scenario, the issues caused by the high humidity of the crawlspace can aggravate your asthma and allergies. Dust mites as well as mold will appear in spurts, but (like most things) those can grow out of hand. This Clinton, South Carolina home knows that fact first hand.

For All-Dry of the Carolinas, the solution is simple. Pictured in the “after” photo we have installed our patented CleanSpace liner. This liner acts as the supreme barrier that separates the earth from your home. It is bright and 20 mils thick. This material is even manufactured with an agent called UltraFresh which prevents mold and bacteria growth. Unlike the mess of a liner in the “before” photo, our liner far outstrips and out classes it by miles.

The owner of the home happily agrees.
