Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Comprehensive Crawl Space Repair with Encapsulation, Drainage, and Structural Support

We began by clearing debris from the crawl space and treating mold‑affected areas with Mold‑X2 to eliminate growth before installing new systems. Once cleaned, we installed the SmartSump pump system, complete with a cast‑iron pump, airtight lid, floor drain, and WaterWatch alarm. IceGuard fittings and an exterior discharge line leading to a LawnScape outlet were added to keep drainage functional in all weather conditions. With drainage established, we installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system along with the EZ‑Drain system to direct moisture toward the sump pump. A new EverLast Door was added to create a sealed, durable access point. To maintain long‑term air quality, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and added electrical outlets as needed. We then reinforced the structure by installing SmartJack supports under weakened joists, adding band board blocking where specified, and sistering damaged joist ends to restore strength to the floor system. These combined improvements created a clean, dry, and structurally stabilized crawl space, giving Kyle a healthier and more secure home.

Unprotected Crawl Space Before Work Began

Before repairs started, Kyle's crawl space was unprotected and exposed to moisture, debris, and mold‑producing conditions. With no moisture barriers, drainage systems, or structural reinforcement in place, the space allowed humidity and organic buildup to develop over time. These issues contributed to poor air quality and began affecting the overall comfort and stability of the home, making a complete moisture‑control and structural upgrade necessary.

Visible Mold on Floor Joists Before Treatment

Before repairs began, mold was clearly visible on the wooden floor joists throughout the crawl space. The prolonged moisture exposure had allowed organic growth to spread along the framing, contributing to odors and declining air quality inside the home. This visible mold made proper treatment-starting with Mold‑X2 and followed by full moisture‑control measures-essential to restore a healthier environment beneath the home.

Encapsulating the Crawl Space with CleanSpace

We encapsulated the crawl space using the CleanSpace system, sealing the ground and exposed areas with a durable vapor barrier designed to block moisture and humidity. This bright, long‑lasting liner created a controlled, protected environment beneath the home, helping prevent future mold growth, improving air quality, and restoring a clean, healthy crawl space.

Installing the SmartSump Pump System

We installed the SmartSump pump system to provide reliable protection against water intrusion in the crawl space. The system included a cast‑iron pump, CleanPump stand, an airtight lid with a built‑in floor drain, and a WaterWatch alarm to alert the homeowner of rising water levels. This installation ensures that any moisture or groundwater is efficiently collected and discharged, supporting a cleaner and healthier environment beneath the home.

Installing SmartJacks to Stabilize the Home and Complete Crawl Space Protection

We installed SmartJack supports to reinforce weakened joists and beams throughout the crawl space, providing the structural stability the home had been lacking. These adjustable steel supports were placed in the designated areas to lift and strengthen the floor system above. With the SmartJacks in place, the crawl space received both improved structural integrity and a final layer of protection, completing the system designed to keep the home stable, dry, and healthy.
