Before & After Photos

A homeowner in New Concord, OH wanted to finish her basement but needed storage space to move everything from the current basement into. She had a crawl space, but it was dirty and humid, so she didn't want to put anything in there as-is. So, she called Mid-State Basement Systems to encapsulate and insulate the crawl space.

We installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier (a 20-millimeter thick plastic barrier similar to a pool liner) and SilverGlo insulation.

Now, the crawl space is moisture-free and well-insulated. The homeowner can move all of the things that need to be stored from the basement into the crawl space, and she can start on her basement finishing project!

Barbara M. in Lucasville, OH has a moldy, dirty crawl space that water had started leaking into. She called Mid-State Basement Systems to see how we could permanently repair these problems. We sent out one of our certified inspectors to inspect the area and provide a free quote for a permanent repair.

She agreed to go with our company and our crew, led by foremen Byron Salinas, set to work! They encapsulated the crawl space with a CleanSpace vapor barrier and installed SmartPipe and a SmartSump to take the water out of the crawl space and away from the home. They also used mold spray to eradicate the mold from the area before encapsulating and spraying foam in the floor joists to provide extra insulation.

The homeowner is happy with the results and now has a clean and dry crawl space. It is more energy-efficient and can be used as a storage space!

A CleanSpace barrier blocks moisture from evaporating into the crawl space, keeping it dry and reducing heat loss.

We encapsulated this crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and Drainage Matting! The previous plastic sheet was trapping in moisture and a musty smell was permeating into the home. A vapor barrier slows or prevents ground water seepage from evaporating into the crawl space air.

This crawl space was being protected only by a thin sheet of plastic. Mid-State Basement Systems transformed the space using the CleanSpace wall vapor barrier system.
