Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing and Crawl Space Encapsulation in Wilmington, Delaware

In the photos from this Wilmington, Delaware project, you can see how we tackled a water intrusion issue that had been causing stress for the homeowner. The first few shots capture the corner of the basement where water would collect during heavy rains. To address this, we installed a WaterGuard drainage system under the floor to catch and redirect water, keeping it away from the living area. Another image shows the CleanSpace Wally 36-inch liner installed along the basement walls, creating a sealed barrier that blocks moisture from seeping through. We also added CleanSpace encapsulation to the crawl space, which acts like a protective shield, reducing humidity and keeping the entire basement environment cleaner and healthier. The after images highlight how much brighter and cleaner the space looks, thanks to these critical waterproofing measures.
