3 Pros Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The crawl space of this Bealeton, VA home had dilapidated and moldy insulation in their crawl space that had been ineffective for quite some time and was literally falling out of the ceiling. Additionally, their existing vapor barrier was loose and not sealed to the foundation, allowing moisture to creep in and wreak havoc. 

To remediate these issues, the old insulation was first removed, then disposed of safely. The 3 Pros team installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to protect the crawl space from excess moisture and to give it a clean new look! Closed cell spray foam was then installed from the floor up to the rim joists. 

This Lincoln, VA homeowner was interested in several comfort solutions for their home.  The lower level floors are always cold in the winter, and seemed drafty.  Plus, the house was always humid and clammy.

We evaluated the situation and found crawl space encapsulation would be the best solution.

The SmartDrain System is a crawl space drain that includes a bottomless liner and an airtight lid. If a plumbing failure occurs, this system will drain the water beneath your vapor barrier, preventing it from collecting in the space.

The SmartDrain is installed within a drywell created during the installation. A fill of clean drainage stone is used around to isolate the drain from the dirt to prevent clogging.

Our system features a unique ball-and-cup drain system. When water enters the cup, the ball floats and opens the drain -- sealing again when no water remains. When the system detects water, a unique WaterWatch Alarm will sound off, alerting you of an issue.

Here, you can see a drywell being created in a Bumpass, VA crawl space. The SmartDrain is then placed in the hole and backfilled with drainage stone. 

A homeowner in Bumpass, VA upgraded their sump pump to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, so that even in extreme conditions and power outages, this basement will stay dry. 

This Hamilton VA crawl space was in need of a transformation.  The existing treatments for water and insulation were not working.  The crawl space had open vents and fiberglass insulation strips lining the ceiling.  Open vents allow external air, allergens, dust and temperature fluctuations as well as moisture.  Insulation strips dont properly insulate as they can allow air and temperature to move between them, up to the floors above.  Our production crew removed the old insulation, sealed up the vents, attached Silver Glo Insulation panels to the walls of the crawl space, used Zyp Foam to air seal the panels and then applied Spray Foam to the rim joists of the home, sealing off any other external air and temperatures from outside.
