3 Pros Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Wood and other organic materials have the potential to degrade, rot and grow mold.  This crawl space entrance door in Alexandria VA was showing the signs of age.  Part of a project we did to clean up the crawl space and help to control the environment inside included replacing the old door with our Everlast Crawl Space Door.  Made from material that will not break down or wear out like wood, it is also insulated and seals tight enough to keep unwanted air from entering the crawl space when it is closed up.  

Our goal with any home project is to leave a home in better condition than it was in before we did work.  That includes the outside.  We often have to dig into a yard to lay a discharge line for sump pumps for basement or crawl space waterproofing jobs like this one.  

The crawl spaces of this Mount Vernon home had enough humidity in each of them that water dripped from the mold and mildewed insulation and joists. Several contractors had tried to help over the years to make this area beneath the home better. 

To help these homeowners, our team removed the old insulation and vapor barrier. We also had to remove some dead wildlife, and clean the HVAC equipment fully to rid it of mold. We encapsulated the duct work and the crawl space, installing TerraBlock insulation and a thick 20 mil. CleanSpace vapor barrier. The results were a clean, healthy, and safe crawl space for these homeowners.

These homeowners in Fredericksburg, VA had a dirt crawl space under their home. We installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system, and applied spray foam insulation to make sure that this homeowner never has any crawl space issues again.

This Alexandria, VA home was suffering from cold floors and a musty odor emanating from the crawlspace. This was having a serious negative impact on the comfort level of the home. When our sales professional Stephan went out to the property to perform a full home inspection, he determined that the best course of action to end their discomfort would be to waterproof and insulate the crawlspace. Stephan explained to the homeowners that the primary cause of their discomfort was the uninsulated crawlspace cooling down the floors in the rooms above and the lack of waterproofing allowing mold to build up which was causing the smell. After the homeowners agreed to Stephan's solution our service crews went out to get to work on the home. The crews started by clearing out all the debris in the crawlspace to create an even work surface and to turn the crawlspace into a useable space. Then they began laying down TerraBlock floor insulation to help the crawlspace maintain an even temperature. After that, they installed SilverGlo rigid foam insulation on the walls to prevent the crawlspace from making the floors cold. Finally, the crew installed CleanSpace covering over the floors to prevent any moisture build-up that could lead to mold growth or water damage.
