These homeowners own a buy and resell business. They noticed they were experiencing some moisture in their basement, and knew they needed to get this fixed fast. They called Midwest and System Design Specialist, Cody Shipley, came out to help. Together, they decided on CleanSpace and WaterGuard. CleanSpace is used as a barrier to keep water out. The water goes down the CleanSpace and into the WaterGuard, which will flow to a sump pump and out of the home. There is no doubt these homeowners will be able to run their business without worry of water damage!
Keeping your crawlspace dry is crucial in preventing mold and protecting your home. CleanSpace prevents any water from entering your home through the foundation walls. This home is now protected, and the homeowner can live worry free!
These homeowners were concerned about their uneven floors. They were already planning to have their radon mitigated, so they decided to have some work done in their crawlspace as well.
They gave us a call for a free estimate, so we sent System Design Specialist James Denning to look at the crawlspace and determine if they were causing the floors to sag. James found that there was a damp, musty smell coming from the crawlspace due to excess moisture in the air, which was also causing the floor supports to weaken. After discussing the options with James and seeing the pre-mailer book they received about crawlspace repairs, they decided to have us take care of their crawlspace repairs. Our team determined that they needed to bury the downspouts so that water could not get into the crawlspace and cause problems with moisture. The team then installed Silver Gloe Insulation to help save on energy cost for the homeowners. Finally, our team addressed the support problems by using SmartJacks and adding supplemental beams to even out the floor as well as installing a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to finish protecting the support beams from moisture.
The homeowners were so glad that they had us help with their crawlspace. They were grateful that we were able to work with and around their Radon company as well. Check out their newly secured crawlspace!
When this customer reached out to us, she had multiple concerns regarding her crawlspace and its impact on her home. Firstly, she needed time to address the issues with her walls but recognized the need to resolve them in due course. Additionally, she noted that her kitchen floor above the crawlspace remained persistently cold, prompting her desire to utilize the crawlspace for storage. However, the space was old, dingy, and filled with cobwebs, making it unsuitable for her intended purpose. To address these concerns, she sought our assistance in encapsulating and insulating her crawlspace.
Understanding the importance of a clean, moisture-controlled crawlspace, our team recommended the installation of CleanSpace sheeting. This durable and reliable material acts as a barrier, preventing moisture from seeping into the crawlspace from the ground. By encapsulating the crawlspace with CleanSpace, we aimed to create a controlled environment, protecting both the space itself and the floors above.
To further enhance the functionality and durability of the encapsulation, we utilized drain matting underneath the crawlspace. This added layer of protection serves to prevent the CleanSpace sheeting from tearing or getting damaged by the ground.
The comprehensive encapsulation and insulation project was completed successfully, providing Tracy with a transformed crawlspace that met her needs and expectations. She expressed her satisfaction in a 5-star review, commending the fantastic job and the timely completion of the project.
Nasty crawlspaces are becoming an epidemic in the US. Mold, humidity, bugs, and odors come into the main living spaces through the crawl space. With a crawlspace overhaul and repair you can turn a nasty crawlspace into a clean and healthy environment. The encapsulating process can turn an old, smelly crawlspace into a revitalized area of the home and in most cases additional storage as well.
