Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This recent crawl space renovation in Falls Church, VA transformed a damp, unprotected crawl space into a cleaner, drier, and more stable area beneath the home. Before the repair, the crawl space was vulnerable to moisture, humidity, and poor insulation, which can lead to musty odors, mold growth, wood rot, uncomfortable floors, and higher energy costs. The homeowner also had concerns about the support system beneath the home, making crawl space repair and encapsulation the best solution to help protect the structure and improve the overall comfort of the home.

NV Waterproofing & Foundation Repair completed a full crawl space encapsulation using CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo insulation, and adjustable SmartJacks. CleanSpace helps seal the crawl space from ground moisture and humidity, creating a brighter and cleaner environment. SilverGlo insulation helps improve energy efficiency and comfort by insulating the crawl space walls. To address structural support, our team installed adjustable SmartJacks, which are designed to stabilize and support the floors above the crawl space.

After the crawl space repair was complete, the Falls Church homeowner had a healthier, more protected crawl space and a stronger support system beneath their home. This crawl space encapsulation not only improved moisture control and energy efficiency, but also helped protect the home from future crawl space damage. The finished result was a major transformation and gave the homeowner peace of mind knowing their home was cleaner, drier, and better supported.

Sagging floors and unpleasant odors in a Derwood, MD home led the homeowner to seek our expertise. As shown in the photos, their initial attempt to use makeshift supports with 2x4s proved inadequate. Our team addressed this by implementing the SmartJack® System, effectively stabilizing and restoring the floor to its original level. By incorporating CleanSpace® for encapsulation and the SaniDry™ Sedona for humidity control, we transformed their crawl space into a durable, moisture-controlled environment. This not only improved structural integrity but also eliminated odors, securing the homeowner’s comfort and safety.

A homeowner in Glen Echo, MD, was concerned about sloping floors above their crawl space. Upon inspection, we discovered that the floors were being supported by wooden beams and 4x4s, which had deteriorated over time due to moisture in the crawl space. This compromised the structural integrity of the support system, leading to uneven floors. To resolve the issue, we installed a supplemental steel beam and SmartJacks to stabilize and lift the floors back to their original position. The result was a level, secure floor and a crawl space with a reliable support system. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and relieved to have a long-term solution in place.

The homeowner expressed concern about persistent dampness in their house, especially after discovering significant mold buildup in two recently cleaned ducts. Our technical advisor swiftly addressed the issue by recommending the installation of a vapor barrier system in the crawlspace and a Sani dry system. These solutions would effectively eliminate mold and prevent the recurrence of damp air, ensuring a safe and healthy home environment for the family.
