Before & After Photos

High humidity levels in crawlspaces can cause a lot of problems, many that people wouldn't likely expect. When a crawlspace has a high humidity level the cold water pipes and AC ducting under the home can start to "sweat" where the warm, humid air will start to form condensation on the cool pipes, which can leave standing water in the crawlspace. This is one thing that many people don't always realize could be happening in their crawlspace.

Fortunately with the installation of CleanSpace in this crawlspace, we were able to take the worry away from the homeowner. They no longer had to worry about water or moisture in their crawlspace at all, because once it was encapsulated, they didn't have to worry about any moisture being in the crawlspace. The CleanSpace also made the crawlspace look much better, and can even serve as a storage space now that it is somewhat climate controlled and free of moisture. 

Crawlspaces are often not taken advantage of nearly as much as they should be. This crawlspace ended up being a trash dump for rocks, tubing, and just about anything else. Unfortnately a lot of crawlspaces look very similar to this one before it had CleanSpace installed. Crawlspaces are a huge part of your home and have great uses, like a ton of extra storage, but many people don't realize the potential for it. 

This homeowner was having issues with too much moisture in their crawlspace, which is why they initially had one of our System Design Specialist out to the home. However, once our crew came out to the home and rolled out the CleanSpace, the homeowner realized the potential that they had with this "new" crawlspace. While they were certainly excited that the moisture problem had been taken care of, they were also excited that they had a new area of the home to use!

Our crew installed a supplemental beam, and SmartJack supports to support the floor joist system. When installing SmartJacks with or without supplemental beams, the goal is to stabilize and stop further damage to the structure, not necessarily to level floors. 

Our crew installed push piers to support the foundation of this owner's home, located in Canon, GA.

An issue that we commonly encounter are cracks throughout a foundation. Usually these are smaller cracks, but every once and awhile we get a home that has some pretty serious foundation issues, like this home. As you can see in the before picture, the entire corner of this home was sinking, and pretty significantly. The widest crack is close to an inch wide, which may not seem like much, but for the foundation that supports your home, this is a big deal.

In order to fix this issue, our Systems Design Specialist suggested the homeowner go with a couple of push piers to help bring this corner back towards its original position. The homeowner agreed to get the push piers installed, because he knew how serious this issue could be if left unchecked. Since the settlement was only occurring in this back part of the home, this project only needed two push piers.

The second picture shows the same corner, but after the push piers were installed, and the job was completely finished. As you can see, the crack has been pushed back together and looks completely normal. The great thing about push piers are that, when installed, they are completely covered. This is the perfect example of how we like to work, we want our work to give you all of the benefits of a great system, without having to see it!
