Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Our team encapsulated this crawl space by using our effective and efficient CleanSpace vapor barrier system along with our SilverGlo insulation.

This customer was looking for help rescuing his damp, moldy crawlspace. We started the transformation by removing all of the old insulation. We installed a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and our SuperSump sump pump to carry away any water intrusion. Then we went in and treated the entire area for mold with our Mold X2 cleaner and botanical. We replaced the old insulation with SilverGlo insulated panels and RimTight spray foam and then lined the entire area with our Cleanspace drainage matting and Cleanspace vapor barrier.

This heavy retaining wall in Downington PA was bowing and tipping over, and we knew that Basement Systems’ GeoLock Wall Anchors were the best solution for the problem.  

When the GeoLock system is installed, a hole is drilled into the bowing wall in predetermined intervals, depending on the number of anchors needed. One anchor plate is then attached to the interior and exterior sides of the wall, lining up with the predrilled hole, and one end of a 9-foot galvanized threaded rod is then inserted through the hole and anchor plates until the rod protrudes slightly out of the interior wall. An anchor bolt is then screwed onto that protruding end. The other end of the rod attaches to a heavy duty earth anchor, which gets embedded into firm, stable soil away from the foundation. Once everything is in place, the anchor bolt is tightened, and the reverse pressure pulls the wall back toward its original position. At this point, the wall is stabilized and secure and no further adjustment is necessary. However, gradual tightening of the anchor bolt will continue to adjust the wall and over time, may even straighten it completely. This home in Elkton needed 10 anchors to repair the wall, and we were able to straighten it completely in one day. The GeoLock wall anchors are guaranteed for a period of 25 years.

We were contacted by the buyers of this property to assess the crawlspace. When they received their home inspection report, it was noted that the crawlspace had moisture and mold growth. This is not something anyone wants to deal with in their home, especially new homebuyers. 

Our solution for the mold and moisture in this crawlspace was to first treat the mold with our Mold X 2 Treatment, then we moved on to install SilverGlo insulation, new vent covers and then a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. 

A homeowner in Newark, DE contacted us after discovering signs of moisture and dampness in their crawlspace. Our System Design Specialist Chris inspected the crawlspace and knew our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System would be the perfect solution. CleanSpace prevents water vapor and humidity from passion through the crawlspace, preventing the area from becoming damp. It also provides a bright white and clean space for the home. In conclusion, the installation was a success and the homeowner was happy to see their crawlspace secure.
