Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Lovettsville, VA saw the state of their crawl space and knew they needed to give us a call right away. The existing insulation was hanging down, there was water infiltration, and there were signs of pests. The 3 Pros professionals started by removing the old, yucky insulation and then installed a combination of SmartSump, SmartPipe, and drainage matting. Next, we installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. Our CleanSpace system reduces moisture and humidity below the home, improves indoor air quality, and significantly reduces heat loss through the floor and wall when combined with insulation. 

This basement/crawl space door was old and the wood was rotting in some spots. The homeowners were looking to make their home more comfortable and part of that process was creating a better air seal for the lower areas of the home.  This new door was insulated and air sealed and will lock in a way that helps eliminate any air flow in and around the edges and frame.  This can help to keep external air and temperatures from impacting the air inside of the home and can keep rodents or other critters from entering.  

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.  

Homeowners in Warrenton, VA found signs of pests in their crawl space and the old insulation was falling down. The team at 3 Pros encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. Our innovative CleanSpace products easily outperform off-the-shelf materials used by other contractors. Now this crawl space is warm, dry, and ready to be used for storage. 

The proper ground covering can make all the difference when waterproofing or encapsulating a crawl space.  The first step in most projects we work on is trying to level or even out the ground inside of the crawl space as much as possible and then laying TerraBlock matting with CleanSpace surface covering it.  This controls and moisture or humidity below the material and keeps the surface dry and useable for storage if the homeowner chooses.
