Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

When crawlspaces or basements get damp, like this one in Narragansett, RI, the risk of mold and mildew growth increases. Mold tends to grow in environments that are damp and have high humidity, so preventing this will not only save your foundation, but save your home and your health as well. So to give this homeowner a peace of mind, we covered the crawlspace with CleanSpace vapor barrier to create a thick, polyethylene barrier separating the crawlspace and the earth. This prevents moisture from trying to come in. 

This crawlspace located in Narragansett, RI is a little larger and taller than some other crawlspaces our crews have worked in the last few weeks! With a brick and stone foundation and exposed dirt floor that their existing vapor barrier wasn't doing much to cover - these homeowners contacted DryZone and were interested in replacing the vapor barrier with something more heavy duty and stronger than what was currently in place. They needed to keep the dampness and moisture down, and on occasions had water that seeped into the crawlspace, as well. Our inspector, Connor, discussed with them the benefits of our CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system, accompanied by our drainage matting that sits underneath, and how crucial having our SuperSump Plus system in place would be to help eliminate any water that accumulates within the crawlspace. They agreed and saw the value of our systems, and moved ahead shortly after receiving their proposal!

A Providence, RI, homeowner discovered he needed a waterproofing system after seeing water continually make its way through his cinderblock foundation. The issue with cinderblocks is that they are very porous, so water and air easily pass through. To solve that, we covered the walls with our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier so that moisture won't get through the walls, which will prevent mold growth and bad odors. 

During heavy rains, water seeped into the basement through the fieldsone foundation. The customer needed a vapor barrier and waterproofing system to keep her basement dry all the time. 

In Providence, RI, a homeowner gave us a call because their crawl space was constantly dirty and damp. Our foreman, MJ, and his crew first removed the debris that was in the space and regraded the soil for drainage. They laid down our drainage matting over the dirt floor of the crawl space to allow any water to flow under and out instead of pool inside. Then they insulated the space with our SilverGlo wall insulation and TerraBlock floor insulation to regulate temperature. The crew then fully encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal it off and installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity under control year-round. Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and the homeowner can have peace of mind!
