Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The customer called due to concerns on a small vapor barrier covered crawl space in the basement. There were a very strong musty smell and moldy shelves that were next to it, which were also raising red flags. We encapsulated the small crawl space and got a dehumidifier down in the daylight basement to regulate any unforeseen future humidity problems. 

Constant water exposure to high levels of water in this crawlspace had led to excess dirt and mud, which had covered up multiple foundational post footings. Because of this water was able to sit against the wooden beams, leading to wood rot and mold. For this job we ended up replacing sixteen wooden posts with out SmartJack solution while we also did a crawlspace encapsulation to protect the home from any more water damage.

Customer called to replace all the old vapor barrier

This homes crawlspace had been suffering from water issues for a while. The standing water had led to mold issues and the homeowners wanted to handle the water before anything got worse. They chose to install a Pipe, Pump, and Plastic in 2017. This includes a simple 6 mil vapor barrier that needs to be changed out every few years. Since the installation, it was replaced in 2019, and is scheduled to be replaced in 2024. This barrier is prone to moving around if stepped on, and critters can chew threw/rip the barrier. Due to this, annual maintenance to check on its integrity is important.
