Colorado Crawl Space Before & After Photos

This crawlspace had the typical negative effects of groundwater seepage: Mold, Odor, Settling, Pest Contamination, Cold Floors. We performed thorough remediation, Installed a SmartSump to discharge groundwater, installed a smartjack to level the floors above, Did a full CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation System, & replaced insulation. Now this crawlspace is clean, dry, warm, & even smells good!

This crawlspace had a sewer back up onto an existing liner. After a hot water extraction & application of a botanical disinfectant we were able to salvage the existing liner and only had to replace a section of liner around the lift station. 

We were originally called out to see if we could just clean up the rodent activity in this crawlspace. After a thorough evaluation we identified a few key factors in fixing this crawlspace up right. 1) The contaminated temporary 6 mil liner had been layered over the earth and not properly sealed around the perimeter walls. 2) the liner had enough maintenance traffic in the past causing small pin holes in the liner, which allows for ground moisture to evaporate into the crawlspace - condensation on the cold walls in the winter - resulting in mold. 3) Small air gaps around the perimeter was allowing for rodents, pests, and cold air into the home - resulting in rodent mess, insects activity, and a high energy bill. After cleaning up the rodent activity & mold, we properly encapsulated the crawlspace and air sealed the perimeter - to help prevent air/rodent intrusion & mold.   

This crawlspace still had the original sump pump from when the home was built 20+ years, however it was time for a new pump. We replaced it with the best type of sump pump in the industry - Zoeller. After installing our sealed CleanSpace liner, this home is ready to go on the market.  

This crawlspace needed all of the rodent contamination removed, horizontal surfaces HEPA vacuumed, & a botanical disinfectant applied. We filled the air gaps around the perimeter rim assembly with a closed cell spray foam with a bitterant agent to help prevent rodent intrusion. Lastly, we installed a moisture barrier sealed around the bottom of the foundation walls and central pier footings to keep moisture where it belongs.
