Before & After Photos

In Evansville, IN, the home was for sale, but when the inspection report was completed, it was reported that water was finding its way inside the crawl space through the entry door located outside. The panel was not secured in a way, resulting in water being able to seep through the sides. For the home to complete the inspection test, this would need to be taken care of. The realtor reached out to Healthy Spaces to handle the issue!

The old plywood panel that was used needed to be discarded and replaced with the EverLast Panel. The EverLast Panel is all plastic, so it will not rot, warp, or need paint. Knobs screw into the anchors in the wall and draw the door tight against weather stripping to seal off outside air. Once the job was completed, the realtor was able to sell the home!

In Evansville, IN, a homeowner contacted Healthy Space for a free inspection. Upon inspection, the crawl space had water standing on the 6 mil liner. The humid air smelled like mold, and when the wooden beams were examined closer, mold spores were spread throughout. The homeowner was ready to get the ball rolling and cast their worries away!

Mold remediation was completed to remove and treat any mold that is and would be on organic surfaces. EZ Flow drainage was put in to increase void space which provides improved water flow rates up to 35 percent. Next, a drainage matting is laid on the ground to direct water to the SmartSump that is installed. Once the drainage matting is completed, CleanSpace is put on top to seal the space from the outside air. The crawl space was not only protected against the weather but looked stunning!

A home in New Harmony, IN, had wooden floors that were starting to become uneven. The homeowner reached out to us, in hopes that we would have the best solution for her home. The flooring was uneven due to the humidity and moisture present in the crawl space. The homeowner was interested in encapsulating her crawl space when she heard about CleanSpace. 

Home encapsulation is a rewarding process to witness. A drainage matting is first laid out across the floor of the crawl space. A dimpled polyethylene membrane under the CleanSpace liner allows water to flow to a sump in a crawl space. CleanSpace is then laid on top and sealed to exclude outdoor air from disrupting the environment again. Once the project was completed, the homeowner peered inside her crawl space and was amazed by the transformation! 

Encapsulating a crawl space is an exciting project to see. The drastic before and after encapsulating receives the most attention from homeowners. A homeowner in Owensboro, KY, loved the look and benefits of an encapsulated crawl space. The homeowner recently became interested in finding ways how he can save on his energy bills, which brought him to contact us. 

CleanSpace is a 20 mil liner that can be installed on the ground and upper parts of the walls in a crawl space. This action will prevent water vapor from disrupting the environment. Dirt floors are damp and require a sump pump to create a constant dry floor beneath the CleanSpace. The SmartSump pump has an airtight sump lid with a drain that keeps water vapor sealed in while allowing water to drain down in the event of a plumbing leak. The homeowner was so impressed with the process and final result that he even left us a review!

In Newburgh, IN, a homeowner reached out to Healthy Spaces, with concerns about his crawl space. The crawl space had water throughout the space and the air was humid. Owing to the humidity and moisture, mold was forming on parts of the wooden beams.  The homeowner was interested in mold remediation and encapsulation. Government agencies and medical sites have created many articles addressing exposure to too much mold, the certain types of mold that should be avoided, and when to call in a professional. This information does not mention a numerically safe level of mold that a person or home can be in contact with. At Healthy Spaces, we classify all molds as undesirable molds that must be removed. 

The first step of the mold-free process is to perform mold remediation throughout the crawl space. Once this part of the project is completed, drainage matting is laid on the floor. Drainage matting is useful for allowing water to flow to a sump in a crawl space. Next, CleanSpace was installed on the floor and climbing frame to isolate the outside air. As an added benefit, CleanSpace has an antimicrobial additive manufactured into the material, which prevents mold growth on the liner. This additive is odorless, safe, and used in many plastic household and automotive products. The crawl space was now officially protected and aesthetically pleasing to be in!
