Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Stoneham, Massachusetts, had put a small addition on their home to extend one side of their home a couple of feet. This extension created a small crawlspace. They recently smelt an odor coming from the crawlspace and called EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace because they thought the vapor barrier had failed. Our Design Specialist met with the homeowners and then inspected the crawlspace. After the inspection, our specialist confirmed the vapor barrier had failed but there was the space wasn't completely closed off. Our Design Specialist recommended installing CleanSpace, SilverGlo, and an Everlast Crawlspace Door to encapsulate the crawlspace.

The owner decided to call EFS for a free inspection of their crawlspace.

Our team arrived at the building and installed 1200 sqft of CleanSpace into the crawlspace. 

In Wakefield, MA, our team tackled an environment where mold had found a foothold due to a failing moisture barrier in the crawl space.

Erickson Foundation Solutions helped transform this crawl space by strategically installing SilverGlo, Drainage Matting, TerraBlock, and CleanSpace. These solutions provided a comprehensive moisture-proof barrier and insulation system, substantially enhancing air quality by reducing humidity and eliminating mold support, as visibly demonstrated in the attached after photo.
