Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation

When homeowners in Kensington, MD, discovered mice sneaking into their home through the crawl space, they knew it was time to take action. Their outdated crawl space door and a missing block vent were essentially open invitations for pests. These issues not only made the crawl space vulnerable to infestations but also to moisture and energy loss, creating a long list of potential problems.

To address these concerns, our expert team got to work. The first step was cleaning out the crawl space to prepare it for a robust, long-term solution. We installed our CleanSpace® system to create a tough barrier that blocks moisture and prevents pests from entering. For added protection, we applied SilverGlo™ insulation, which not only improves thermal performance but also reinforces moisture control.

We then sealed the crawl space completely with the installation of a sturdy EverLast door and a new block vent. The EverLast door is made from durable, mold-resistant material and provides an airtight seal to keep out pests and keep the crawl space protected. Together, these solutions transformed the crawl space into a safe, dry, and insulated environment.

The benefits? The homeowners now enjoy a pest-free foundation, better energy efficiency, and peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fortified against future issues. This crawl space repair in Kensington, MD, is an excellent example of how our team combines effective products like the CleanSpace® system, SilverGlo™ insulation, and EverLast door to deliver exceptional results that last.

A homeowner in Temple Hills, MD, contacted NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair with concerns about sagging floors and a persistent odor coming from their crawl space. After a detailed inspection by our experienced Design Specialist, we developed a customized solution to tackle these issues head-on.

To stabilize the sagging floors, we installed a new supplemental beam supported by SmartJack® adjustable steel columns, providing reliable structural support and restoring the home’s integrity. To address the odor and improve the crawl space conditions, we implemented a full crawl space encapsulation system and installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity levels. This thorough repair not only resolved the structural concerns but also improved air quality, giving the homeowner a healthier, more comfortable living space in their Temple Hills, MD home.

Our client was dealing with a recurrent issue that was causing significant distress. Every time it rained, their crawlspace would flood, and the water would overflow into their home. The client explained the distressing situation of having to resort to using a shop vacuum whenever the weather forecast hinted at rain. This was not just inconvenient but also became a source of constant worry for them.

To address this problem, we decided to install a comprehensive waterproofing system. Our solution was designed to not only tackle the current issue but also to prevent future occurrences, providing the client with peace of mind during rainy weather.

The installation process began with the placement of drainage matting. This matting serves a crucial role in channeling water out of the crawlspace, effectively preventing it from pooling and causing flooding. It provides an effective path for water to flow, directing it towards the drainage system instead of allowing it to seep into the floor.

Next, we installed CleanSpace, a high-quality crawl space vapor barrier that drastically reduces the humidity level in the crawl space. This helps to keep the space dry and significantly decreases the chance of mold growth, which is often a concern in damp environments.

To further enhance the protection against moisture, we encapsulated the crawlspace using SilverGlo insulation. This product has a radiant barrier on the exposed side that reflects heat back into the crawlspace, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature. It also acts as an additional barrier against moisture, ensuring the best vapor protection possible.

Understanding the client's frustration with the continuous use of a shop vacuum, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump system. This advanced system offers three levels of protection, ensuring that even in the case of a pump failure or power outage, the system will still operate efficiently. With this system in place, the client no longer has to worry about manually removing water from the crawlspace.

We also installed discharge lines to effectively guide the water pumped out by the sump pump away from the property. This helps to prevent any water from pooling around the foundation and finding its way back into the crawlspace.

Finally, to ensure the durability of our solution, we attached an IceGuard system. This innovative component allows water to escape from the sump pump discharge line if it becomes frozen or blocked for any reason. This feature is particularly beneficial during the colder months when freezing is a common issue.

Through this comprehensive approach, we were able to provide a lasting solution to the client's problem, ensuring their crawlspace remains dry and safe from potential water damage, regardless of the weather conditions.
