Robert in Farmville, Virginia was concerned with the floors in his home being properly supported. He had noticed slight bouncing and gaps between the floor and walls, all signs of issues stemming from his crawl space. Upon inspection we found that high humidity had weakened the main beam and several joists under his home. Travis and Jack, one of our expert crews, went out and installed 2 of our SmartJack Floor Support jacks + a steel supplemental beam to properly support the floors above. We also sistered several failing joists for added protection.
Christina, a homeowner in Palmyra, Virginia, reached out to us to see about solutions for her crawl space. We went out and performed an inspection and found standing water and high humidity. If left alone, these issues could weaken the structure under her home and cause lasting, expensive damage. Travis, Jack, and Mickey went out later and installed a full encapsulation system to seal off the crawl space from the outside air and keep water out. They started by spraying MoldX to remove organic growth that had appeared on the wooden joists. They then put in our EzFlow Drainage System, SuperSump Sump Pump, and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to fully enclose the space. We also added a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to control humidity.
Karen wanted to protect the large crawl space beneath her home in Troy, Virginia, from excess moisture and humidity before they could lead to bigger problems. With an open crawl space free of major obstacles, it was the perfect opportunity to install a complete encapsulation system.
Our team transformed the crawl space by installing a complete CleanSpace encapsulation system, including a CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo wall insulation, an EverLast crawl space door, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully sealed, providing long-term protection against moisture while improving the home's overall health and energy efficiency.
This customer called because they were ready to list their home for sale, but needed to fix the water problem in the crawl space first. They were able to quickly get an appointment with Zach Bullock who completed an inspection and provided an estimate the same day. Charlie Evans, foreman, was able to come with his crew to regrade, install EZ flow drainage pipe and a SmartSump sump pump system to keep the crawlspace dry. A dry crawl space is at the top of home buyer's lists, making this home buyer ready!
