Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Peter M., a homeowner from Angola, New York, wanted a usable crawl space. Since crawl space was filled with dirt and rodents with a musty smell, he couldn't store any of his valuable belongings! This is when he called the crawl space experts at Frank's Basement Systems for help. Our crew went out to Peter's home and installed our patented CleanSpace solution to bring his crawl space to life as a usable space!

Stephen from Angola noticed that some areas of his floor were softer above his crawl space compared to other areas in his home. He wanted to find out what was causing his floors to soften before the whole floor above became soft. Our Team determined that water was getting into the space and was the primary cause. The goal was to create a complete crawlspace encapsulation and include a sump pump in the space to collect and remove water. Before they began the encapsulation process, a SmartPipe™ Crawl Space Drainage System was installed along the whole perimeter. This drainage system is designed explicitly for dirt crawl spaces and rests directly against the foundation. Then, CleanSpace® Crawl Space Drainage Matting is installed, which is a dimple draining mat that is designed to collect and then direct water to the sump pump and perimeter drainage system. To encapsulate the crawl space, CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier was installed over the walls and floors. CleanSpace Vapor Barrier will permanently prevent moisture and outside pests and debris from entering the space. After the space was encapsulated, a SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump was installed. This sump pump will help reduce moisture, remove water, and prevent flooding in the space as well.

When Charles M. noticed the floors above his crawl space become bouncy, he called to the crawl space experts at Frank's Basement Systems for help! By installing our SmartJack steel beams, our team insured that Charles's floor would be stabilized for years to come.

Maureen once had a dark and damp crawl space that used to be home to some unwanted guests, but it has turned into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space using the CleanSpace® encapsulation system! Our crew installed the complete CleanSpace encapsulation system, starting with the CleanSpace Drainage Matting System. The goals of installing this drainage matting system before the barrier are that the mat will help prevent water buildup from happening under the CleanSpace Barrier. After the mat is installed, the whole space will have the CleanSpace vapor barrier installed. This barrier has been designed to prevent moisture, outside air, and unwanted pests from entering the crawl space. Each product in the CleanSpace line was designed to work together, to help create clean, energy-efficient spaces like this one in Niagara Falls!

Encapsulation can transform your crawlspace from a damp and cluttered area into a clean, dry, and healthy space for your home!
