Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This home in Falls Church VA home had a number of treatments performed to help improve the areas below ground level in the house.  A full crawl space encapsulation was done to help control unwanted moisture and wetness and Spray Foam was used to air seal and insulate the rim joists of the home.  Throughout the basement and crawl space, the rim joists were uninsulated and allowed for uncontrolled air flow in and out of the home.  This allowed moisture, dust and allergens to come in from outside, impact the air quality of the home.  We sealed up each space with Spray Foam.  

This Falls Church VA crawl space was in a bad way.  The duct work running through it was compromised, falling down and leading to poor performance for the heating and cooling of the home and rooms above.  The existing insulation was not doing its job, leading to cold floors above.  There was excessive uncontrolled moisture in the crawl space due to open air vents which was creating poor air quality for the homeowners.  We fixed it!   Our production team helped correct the duct system issues, insulated the walls of the crawl space including sealing up the air vents to eliminate dust and outside allergens from entering.  Spray foam insulation was used to seal several areas.  Finally they covered the floors and foundation support with Clean Space.  This is a now a controlled environment delivering better home performance to the owners.  Eliminating the moisture and humidity now makes this space useful for storage if needed.  

We helped turn this wet and nasty crawl space into a clean, dry environment which will improve the air quality for the homeowners living in the spaces above.  clean space on the floors and walls with a leak detector and Sedona Sani Dry dehumidifier.  This would also help to better control the temperature in the crawl space and lead to more comfortable floors above in the winter and summer.  

This homeowner had a dirt crawl space - a bad idea because the natural moisture from the ground is actually pulled up and into the airflow of the home. Moisture in a crawl space almost always leads to mold and mildew growth, which can be an environmental hazard for everyone in the home if inhaled. 

To remediate this issue, the 3 Pros team first laid down our dimpled drainage matting, then covered it with our CleanSpace Encapsulation System to fully seal the crawl space from wall to wall. 

This home in Newington, VA was having issues with humidity, water damage, and comfort due to their dirt crawl space. We gave their crawl space the full CleanSpace treatment and the results are a new, beautiful space!
