Before & After Photos

Richland, IN homeowner Erin T. knew her crawl space wasn't in the best shape when she bought her home a few years ago. As time passed, she noticed her home gradually gaining a musty odor she didn't like. Every time she would come home and open the door, the smell would hit her. She gave Healthy Spaces a call and we set her up a free inspection.

One of our System Design Specialists, Mike McAtee, came to the rescue! He did a thorough inspection of Erins crawl space and sat down with her to discuss what he found. First of all, mold. This is what was causing the musty odor in her home. He recommended sending our mold crew out to remediate it, and she agreed. Along with that, he recommended having her crawl space encapsulated with CleanSpace. This durable, bright white crawl space liner installs on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot.

Thanks to our crews, Erin can now walk into her home without a horrid smell hitting her.

Homeowner John R. of Owensboro, KY needed a solution for his damp, dirty crawl space. Over the years, the space had become a mess, sending unwanted smells into their home above. After consulting a neighbor, they made a call to Healthy Spaces and System Design Specialist, Auston Bruder provided him with a free inspection. 

The mold and crawl space crews were able to remediate the mold and encapsulate the crawl space using our CleanSpace liner. This transformed the crawl space into a dry, bright usable area beneath their home. John doesn't notice any nasty smells coming from his crawl space anymore and is very pleased with the way his project turned out. 

Richard G. from Utica, KY was having water issues in his home. Granted, his home was over 100 years old. It was built in 1904 and the water issues were just getting worse as time went on. One of his friends had used our services and recommended us. Richard picked up the phone and scheduled a free inspection.

System Design Specialist, Damon Cheatham, did a thorough inspection of Richard's basement and pinpointed the problems he saw. Richard agreed to the plan that Damon had come up with, and our production team did the rest. A WaterGuard system was installed to run any intruding water straight to the new TripleSafe sump pump. The water would then run outside from the discharge lines of the sump pump. A CleanSpace vapor is a heavy, durable, plastic liner that provides a vapor barrier while also draining water behind it and dramatically brightens the basement.

In Utica KY, a homeowner needed waterproofing to be done in their crawl space. Although thin plastic was laid throughout the crawl space, it does not guarantee that it will not rip and form holes. In the past, it has been popular to lie down thin (such as 6 mils.) of plastic on crawl space floors. Over time, as the thin sheet of plastic is ripped, the plastic becomes ineffective. When part of the soil is exposed out of the plastic liner, it becomes vulnerable to water and air. 

To solve the soil being exposed, we waterproofed the crawl space with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. The CleanSpace is a more durable option than a regular liner since it is constructed of multiple layers of plastics with different characteristics of flexibility and puncture and tear resistance. Another benefit of having CleanSpace installed is the odorless and safe antimicrobial additive that is manufactured into the material. This means that it prevents mold growth on the liner. Once the CleanSpace was put in, it gave the crawl space a second chance to flourish in a healthy way.  

A homeowner in Utica, KY was concerned about their home sinking, so our crew completed several repairs to stabilize and protect the crawl space. We installed a SmartSump pump system with a cast iron pump, CleanPump stand, airtight lid, and WaterWatch alarm, along with a StarPipe drainage system and discharge line with IceGuard and a LawnScape outlet to properly move water away from the home. The alarm system was wired from the crawl space to an accessible location on the first floor. We performed fungus remediation by cleaning and treating the wood, removed debris and the old vapor barrier, and installed new 6-mil plastic to help control moisture. We also installed an EverLast crawl space door and spray foam insulation at the rim joists. To address the structural concerns, we installed a supplemental beam, added SmartJack supports to stabilize the floor system, sistered new wood to a damaged joist, and reinforced the main girder beam to provide additional support.
