This home in Boyce VA had a large crawl space that had been treated with old school, traditional methods to address water and moisture issues. The old methods of installing a layer of plastic covering the floor and some insulation on the walls did not work. The homeowner was experiencing a musty smell in the crawl space which was noticeable in the living area of the home above. Our Sales Pro Stephen inspected the home and identified a solution. Installing Terra Block matting on the dirt floor, covered by a layer of Clean Space was what did the trick. Silver Glo insulation panels were used for the walls of the crawl space. This helped to control the moisture and water in the crawl space and improved the air quality in the home above.
This crawl space in Madison VA was fully encapsulated inside with a moisture barrier, vapor barrier, dehumidifier and spray foam insulation. All of the vents we covered and sealed along with the vent that had been part of the original crawl space door. We replaced this piece of plywood which was damaged and old and had allowed rodents to get inside with a new, Everlast Door. The Everlast Door is air tight and will never degrade.
This unfinished basement in Berryville VA had wet floors throughout most of the space including an attached crawl space. The existing sump pump wasn't placed correctly so water was building up all around the dirt floors making mud and wet spots. The water was coming in through the walls and under the foundation whenever it rained and the basement was too humid and smelled musty. Our production crew laid down Terra Block and drainage matting to cover and seal in the dirt floors, allowing air to flow beneath and the water to keep from collecting anywhere in the basement. Clean Space was used to cover it all and to wrap the foundation piers and lower parts of the wall. This created a proper moisture barrier and kept the musty smell from being able to develop further.
Homeowners in Markham, VA had water intrusion in their basement on multiple occasions and were ready to fix the problem. After receiving a free evaluation, they decided to take the steps needed to ensure their basement stays dry all the time. The 3 Pros Basement Systems team installed CleanSpace on the walls, WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard is an interior basement drainage system in which water enters via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the sump pump. Most sump pumps fail because of either a failed pump, a pump that can't handle high volumes of water or power failure. The TripleSafe assures protection from all three sump pump problems.
This Hume, VA home had some funky mold growth in their crawl space that was causing mildew odors and posing a health risk.

CleanSpace vapor barrier installation and sealed and insulated the walls with closed cell foam spray.
