Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Wilmington, DE - Basement Waterproofing and Crawl Space Encapsulation

The photos from this Wilmington, DE, project tell the story of a crawl space and basement with a longstanding moisture issue. Heavy rains would often result in water in the crawl space, creating a consistently damp environment. In the “before” photos, you can see how moisture had begun to take a toll, with mold patches starting to form along the concrete walls. After installing a CleanSpace encapsulation system, complete with durable drainage matting, we created a secure, moisture-resistant barrier across the entire area. We also set up the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which plays a critical role in maintaining balanced humidity levels to prevent future mold growth. It’s clear that the transformation brought new life to the space—dry, protected, and mold-free, with every element installed to keep it that way for the long haul.

This crawl space had not yet been encapsulated, leaving it vulnerable to moisture, odors, and potential mold growth.

Basement Pre-CarbonArmor Reinforcement in Wilmington, DE

A look at the basement before any stabilization work began. The walls show early signs of stress from external forces, a common issue that, without intervention, can lead to major structural concerns.

Wilmington, DE Basement Wall Before CarbonArmor Installation

Before CarbonArmor wall straps were applied, this basement wall showed visible signs of strain, including small cracks due to external pressure. Without reinforcement, these cracks would likely worsen over time, risking further instability.

Crawl Space with Hanging Insulation Before Encapsulation - Wilmington, DE

Insulation is visibly hanging down, a sign of moisture issues in the crawl space. This unsealed environment allows humidity to linger, which can damage insulation over time and impact the overall air quality in the home.
