Before & After Photos

Kim and her son were having allergy issues and mold/humidity was a big concern. They noticed that they had sagging floors and the walls were bowing in which they believed might be some of the problem. Their house was built in the 1880s and they wanted to ensure that it is being taken care of. They were looking for better air quality and to repair their crawl space.

They decided to call us at Thrasher Foundation Repair and we were able to identify their issues and make a plan to resolve them. We encapsulated the crawl space with a product called CleanSpace. We added a Sedona Sani Dry dehumidifier to reduce humidity. We also added 5 GeoLock Anchors on the east wall to support the bowing walls. 

This homeowner called us with concerns of radon vapor in his crawl space. He was interested in encapsulating to control the moisture content and bring down the radon levels. Bobby Bartow, a System Design Specialist at Thrasher, visited the home to see what was going on. Upon inspection, he found the crawl space had a dirt floor with walls showing signs of moisture. Moisture in a crawl space can come from many different areas including the ground, the base of the foundation, as well as the walls themselves. 

After showing the homeowner his options, he decided to encapsulate his crawl space with CleanSpace. Not only will this keep moisture from getting into the crawl space area, it will also provide a vapor barrier which could reduce the levels of radon on the lower level of his home. We also went ahead and upgraded his sump pump to the TripleSafe sump pump so he doesn't have to deal with his basement flooding.

These homeowners are a military family and are stationed in this area. Though they do not know how long they will be staying in this home, they knew they wanted to make sure there are no issues. They found water getting into their basement. They knew of Thrasher reputation, and have heard the great things about us, so they gave us a call. Wes Marshall, System Design Specialist, came out to meet them. Wes saw how the water was coming into the utility room. There was insulation up on the walls, and the homeowners did not want to take it down. Wes got the okay to remove a bit of it, and found mold on the other side. He recommended we use our CleanSpace to act as a barrier between the wall and basement. It is a waterproof, mold prevention tarp like material that is very sturdy. Water can trickle down the other side, keeping out of the basement and sending it into their waterproofing system. The homeowners were very excited with how the room now feels and looks. There is no doubt that they do not need to worry about their water and mold issues anymore! Check out the before and after photos below! 

This customer in South Bend, NE was noticing a musty odor in their home. Not knowing where it was coming from, they decided to take a look in their crawl space and noticed moisture causing this smell. They called Thrasher to see about getting rid of the water getting in the space and to protect their home from this happening again.

The team came out and found puddling water in spots in the crawl space causing high moisture levels which is why they were getting the odor in the home. We solved this by cleaning out the area and encapsulating the crawl space and sealing the area with a durable vapor barrier. This treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry. 

This crawl space got completely transformed! After installing our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system, this homeowner is now protected from humidity, mold, and has improved air quality around the home.
