Colorado Crawl Space Before & After Photos

We installed a perimeter drainage system to daylight by drilling a hole through the concrete to the exterior. Sometimes we can get away with doing this instead of installing a sump pump if the foundation is on a slope and we can use gravity to our advantage. This saves money on maintenance and replacing sump pumps. It is also less likely to fail and have water back up into your crawlspace. We excavated under the center girder and installed the CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation system to shut down any evaporation. Now this crawl is dry and the homeowners are worry free!

It was important to these new homeowners to clean up the crawlspace for the benefits of a healthier indoor air quality. We remediated the mold, air sealed the perimeter with closed cell spray foam, & encapsulated the earth and walls - creating storage space & making room in the house for the new addition to the family.  

This old house had some miner ground water seepage in the basement. Our solution was the CleanSpace Encapsulation system - laying down drainage matting, 20 mil CleanSpace liner, and perimeter blanket insulation. This basement can now be used as a storage area!

The subfloor fiberglass batt insulation in this crawlsapce was acting like a sponge - absorbing moisture from the exposed ground - resulting in microbial growth, falling black visqueen, and the insulation itself falling. We removed the black visqueen barrier and insulation, insulated the perimeter exterior walls with 2" foamboard, closed cell spray foamed the perimeter rim assembly, and sealed up the crawlspace with the cleanspace Encapsulation System. Now the subfloor is exposed for plumbing and electrical maintenance and the crawlspace is warmer. We've removed the moisture and source of the indoor allergens that the homeowners were concerned about. 

After removing debris, damaged insulation and a light contour of the dirt surface, we then placed our hepa air filtration equipment.

After the initial work was completed we did some minor mold remediation work to complete the preparation process.

Once the preperation work was completed we were able to install our encapsulation system and sump pump along with proper drainage channels in order to effectively remove all water and moisture from the crawl space.
