Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Portsmouth, New Hampshire recently bought a home and wanted to finish his floors on the first floor. He noticed that the floors were crooked, and wanted to make sure the foundation was strong and supportive before getting any flooring work done.

A Design Specialist completed a free inspection of the home and noticed some issues with the crawl space. The Lally columns were not properly supporting the home and the crawl space was very damp. This results in sinking floors and an uncomfortable living space. Our specialist recommended adding SmartJacks and CleanSpace. SmartJacks replace the Lally Columns and provide support and stability to the entire home. This fixes the crooked and sinking floors, creating a level surface. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulates the crawl space, which provides protection from mold, critters, drafts, wood rot, and cold floors.

A combination of these systems provided this new homeowner with a strong and healthy crawl space. Our team was happy to offer a permanent solution.

Facing a sudden nightmare, this homeowner in Rye, NH was battling against a flooded crawl space, all thanks to an outdated sump pump that just couldn't keep up. Understanding the stress and damage water can cause, we stepped in to transform chaos into calm. Notice in the before photo the extent of flooding - a clear sign help was needed. Swiftly moving in, we installed our reliable WaterGuard system, UltraSump System, and IceGuard, complemented by a CleanSpace liner and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, ensuring the crawl space would not only be dry but remain that way. The after photo breathes relief - a bright, clean, and secure space, free from water's grasp. We have also implemented the SmartJack system to stabilize and elevate the sagging floors above the crawl space. Our tailored solutions met the homeowner's need for a lasting reprieve, solidifying our commitment to exceptional service and durable remedies for every home.

In Marlborough, NH, a homeowner faced a serious issue: their crawl space wasn't properly supported, resulting in splitting wooden supports. Notice in the before photo, the need for reliable stabilization is clear. Leveraging our expertise, we implemented the SmartJack® system. This solution strengthened the area by using galvanized steel columns to secure existing girders effectively. In the after photo, you’ll see how the adjustable top brackets lifted and stabilized the floor joists, bringing them closer to their original elevation. Our approach ensured structural integrity, addressing both current and potential future concerns.

In Marlborough, NH, the homeowner faced a challenge with moisture in the basement, leading to fallen insulation and musty odors throughout the home.

CleanSpace encapsulation systems, along with TerraBlock and Drainage Matting, were used to control moisture effectively. The after photo illustrates a transformed crawl space, enhancing home health, reducing odors, and ensuring lasting peace of mind.
