Before & After Photos

This home in Spotsylvania Virginia had a nasty crawl space that the homeowner wanted to get upgraded.  Our production team was able to remove all of the old plastic floor covering, remove the old insulation falling from the crawl space ceiling, improve the venting system in the crawl space and insulate from the walls out to create a cleaner, drier and better crawl space that could now be used for storage if needed.  This will help to improve the air quality and comfort in the rooms of the home above.  

Our service technician Brent Bevens visited this Clifton VA home for annual follow up service on a crawl space to check on the sump pump we installed last year.  He removed the unit from its base/liner to clean and test it.  Here is a nice visual of the before and after.  Sump pumps by nature can get dirty and potentially clogged from sediment and dirt in the water they pump out of a home which makes our annual service all the more valuable.  

This Clifton VA crawl space originally had gravel floors with black plastic materials covering it in an effort to "manage" the moisture and wetness in the space.  Traditional methods like that do not really work and can often create more problems than it eliminates.  Plastic material,  covering cold, wet floors can actually trap moisture below and add to the musty, mildew heavy smells in the space and promote poor air quality in the home above.  Our production team began this transformation by covering the gravel with the brown drainage liner shown in the "before" photo.  This keeps moisture and air below the eventually sealed floor covering and allows air to move and help the moisture evaporate.  Clean Space was later used across the entire surface and up the crawl space walls.  

This Fairfax VA homeowner wanted to get their crawl space upgraded.  They had excessive moisture which had lead to mildew and mold in parts of the crawl space.  Open vents to outside were allowing air, dust and allergens to come in from outside and were making the air quality of the home poor.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Jason visited and was able to identify the right products and services to help improve things.  Our production crew removed the old insulation, plastic floor covering and other dirty materials.  They sprayed the space with a botanical cleaner to prevent mold growth, covered the floors with Clean Space, covered the walls with Silver Glo insulation panels, air sealed the panels using Zyp Foam and then used Spray Foam to seal and insulate the rim joists of the home.  

This crawl space in Fairfax VA was wet and nasty with a musty smell.  Open air vents allowed for external weather and temperatures to impact the air inside of the home.  Dust and allergens were passing into the crawls space through the vents as well.  After removing the old insulation and plastic covering the floors, our production team installed a layer of insulation on the ground along with a moisture barrier.  This was followed by covering the floors and walls with Clean Space material and then Spray Foam insulation being applied to the crawl space walls and rim joists.  Eliminating uncontrolled air flow and insulating the space from the outside in helped improve the air quality of the home.
