Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Problem: Many homeowners believe that putting a layer of gravel in their crawl space will solve the water and moisture problems. This isn’t true and doesn’t work. 

Gravel is porous and it does not stop water from moving or collecting.

Fixing a crawl space with a gravel floor presents two challenges:

1. It is difficult to dig trenches and create drains to properly direct the water out of the crawl space compared to dirt.

2. To further keep the humidity level acceptable and encapsulate the space, a very heavy duty liner is required, as the liner will be more prone to rips and tears with the rough gravel below it.

Solution:

• Our experienced team members were able to create trenches and drains to effectively move the water into the crawl space sump pump.

• Our CleanSpace®️ Liner is super heavy duty and durable enough to withstand the rocky floor encapsulated below.

Problem:  The access to this crawl space was very tight. The opening also allowed the undesirable outside weather and critters to enter the crawl space area.

Solution: We improved the drainage around the access, enlarged it to aid in entry and sealed it with one of our maintenance-free EverLast™ Crawl Space Doors.

• Access improved.
• Drainage improved.
• Weather and critters kept outside.
