Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Heber Springs, Arkansas were concerned about the support underneath their homes foundation. The crawl space currently housed upright cinder blocks that were essentially holding up the house. Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas came in and knew right away that the cinder blocks needed an upgrade. SmartJacks are designed for situations just like this, they are high-capicity, fully adjustable steel piers. 

For good measure, a drainage matting was also installed thoroughout the entire crawl space. This will help with moisture build up. 

We installed Cleanspace and other products under this home to help this customer with a humidity problem. 

Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs may all need access to your crawl space, but another contractor often overlooked is your termite company. Homeowners in Heber Springs contacted us for help, not only was there moisture in their crawl space causing mold and rot, but their termite company was ready to end their contract because of the insulation that had been installed in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Jack, performed a complete inspection of the crawl space and proposed a solution to not only dry out the crawl space, but insulate it more effectively.

After grading and prepping the crawl space, Jordan and his team installed graphite infused SilverGlo Insulation Panels to insulate the space. SilverGlo Vent Seals were custom cut and installed to keep outside air and humidity from entering the crawl space. The team then worked to remove the foam insulation from the floor joists so the termite company would be able to complete their inspections. Wallie, a 12-mil thick white liner, was used to wrap the piers, with the bottom of the liner resting below the Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting allows a drainage space beneath it for ground water to flow and adds puncture resistance, durability, and a thermal break for the CleanSpace Liner. This liner is a 23-mil thick, 7-layer polyethylene liner that prevents condensation from the ground reaching the building materials, isolating the home from the earth. A powerful and efficient SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier will remove moisture from the air, and since we service what we install, it is worry free for you.

A Heber Springs homeowner contacted us about crawl space repair. He wanted a clean crawl space, like he had seen on our commercial. A clean crawl space doesn’t just look good, it makes a big difference in your day-to-day life, affecting everything from the air your breathe to the support structures below your home. Jack was able to design a CleanSpace CrawlSpace the homeowner loved.

Bryan and his crew removed all debris and old insulation from the crawl space. The TripleSafe Sump Pump, the world’s most reliable sump pump system, was installed at the lowest point in the crawl space, and a trench was dug along the perimeter of the crawl space to install Ez Flow, a drainage system designed to allow water in while keeping dirt and debris out. The crawl space was graded to direct all ground water towards the Ez Flow Drainage System, which drains into the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Wrapping the piers with Wallie prevents condensation from forming on the masonry and directs all moisture towards the ground and the Drainage Matting. Our Drainage Matting allows water to flow below it and adds durability and puncture resistance. The bright white CleanSpace Liner is carefully cut and installed for a custom fit for your crawl space, isolating your home from the earth completely and permanently. The powerful and Energy Star rated SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier completes the encapsulation by removing moisture from the air and circulating dry air at a rate of 300 cubic feet per minute.

The homeowner loves his new clean crawl space, and he doesn’t have to worry about mold, mildew, or rot effecting his health or the integrity of his home. Call CrawlSpace Solutions of Arkansas today!

This Heber Springs homeowner contacted CrawlSpace Solutions of Arkansas to find out what she could do to protect her investment. Our Design Specialist, Jack, made the short drive to visit with the homeowner about her concerns and inspect the crawl space. Investment property needs to be cared for just like your own home, so when Jack presented a solution, she was ready for us to get started.

We sent Thomas and his crew to the investment property to begin the project. They began by removing the old, ruined insulation from the floor joists. Jack had identified the areas that needed additional support with our SmartJacks, and the areas that needed to be reinforced with additional beams. Once the structural support portion was completed, the crew sealed the vents with SilverGlo Vent Seals. They graded the crawl space, and the piers were wrapped with Wallie, a 12-mil thick white laminated liner to prevent condensation from forming. This liner is designed to reduce the effects of humidity on masonry, it stops the concrete from sweating. The Drainage Matting was installed, creating a durable, puncture resistant base and adding a thermal break, allowing ground water to flow beneath. Encapsulation with CleanSpace Liner brightens the space and isolates your home from the earth completely and permanently. This liner is 20 mil thick, made of a blend of high- and low-density polyethylene with two layers of polyester cord reinforcement. Combined with the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, it eliminates mold growth and makes your whole home healthier. Our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is high performance and high efficiency, so you are saving on electricity over the years while keeping your home dry and healthy. The EverLast Door is custom cut on site and installed to form a weatherproof seal for the entry to the crawl space.

When this job was completed, the whole home was more structurally sound, cleaner, drier, and healthier, making the homeowner more secure in her investment. Call CrawlSpace Solutions of Arkansas now for your free crawl space inspection, we are ready to help!
