Before & After Photos

All crawlspaces have their quirks. This Piedmont, South Carolina crawlspace is our prime example. What we have here is a space that has a very high moisture content. Looking closely at the “before” photo, we notice that the dirt floor does have a liner. That’s a well and good. However, the crawlspace still has a terrible moisture problem. Why is that? Well, consider this. There may be a liner and said liner may be steadfastly holding back water vapor, but the walls are not protected. The cement block walls allow in just as much water, and the amount to this water varies depending on the force of the rain outside. Even with the added thin barrier of protection, the crawlspace is exposed and vulnerable.

Flash forward to the present. Flash forward to the crawlspace renewed. Take a look at the “after” photo. Isn’t it pretty?

There are very few products on the market today like CleanSpace. CleanSpace was designed specifically for the moisture-ridden crawlspace. It was designed to be a barrier. Lucky for us, it does the job without even trying. Pull up the wall, it provides protection from the outside moisture. Any water that slips through the blocks is met with immediate resistance. The CleanSpace says ‘no.’ It is not allowed to come into this safe space created here. Even the piers are subject to this method, they, too, are wrapped and sealed. The outside stays outside and the inside is well protected. Water issues exist no more.

This customer had standing water, which created a very wet and humid crawlspace. In order to help alleviate and fix their problems. Our experts installed over 1200 Square feet of CleanSpace liner (on both the floor and the walls). we also installed drain tile, and a SuperSump pump to get rid of any water that does make its way into the crawlspace.

The "before" photo shows how bad of a condition the basement was in; insulation was falling, bricks and cinder blocks were just sitting there, and the clay and mud that made its way onto the previous liner.

The "after" picture shows the installation of the CleanSpace System. Not only is it functional and keeps the water out, but it looks great too! You, your kids, or any technician that does work under your house will love this!

When it comes to your crawlspace, protecting it from moister is very important. In this home the crawlspace was taking on large amounts of moister. Not only was moister the problem, but the crawlspace was littered with debris, trash, and an old liner.  To solve this problem, our All-Dry of the Carolinas team encapsulated the entire crawlspace.

Before our visit to this customer's home, they had this small plastic barrier, which was not able to resolve the problem of accumulating water in their crawl space. However, our CleanSpace encapsulation is a much better solution.

In the "before" picture, you can see exposed ground and an area where water can easily collect.

In the "after" picture, our CleanSpace encapsulation system has been installed. This system keeps your crawl space seperate from the ground. This keeps humidity low-preventing mold growth, water out, and the heat in!

Many times the problems with crawlspaces are not very visible. Moisture and water vapor are extremely hard to notice unless the problems are either extreme, or you have the correct tools. This is one of the reasons why some homeowners let a small issue pass them by, because they haven't even been able to identify it as an issue. And as with many of the problems that we deal with, the longer it goes without being fixed, the more damage can occur. 

This is what had happened in this particular project. The homeowners had never noticed that the moisture level in the crawlspace was too high and just continued getting worse as time went on. Fortunately at some point they began to notice more water and moisture in their crawlspace and decided to call All-Dry of the Carolinas. They were able to catch the problem and have our company come in before the water did any more damage.

The CleanSpace makes a huge difference in a crawlspace, with both function and looks. This homeowner had the CleanSpace wall installed all of the way up the wall, which helps to catch even more moisture. While the CleanSpace does a great job with keeping water and moisture out, there was also a dehumidifier that was installed in order to ensure that the humidity level of the crawlspace was below the point where mold is able to grow.
