Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

JT recently purchased a Mount Vernon, WA home with some troubling water and mold issues lurking beneath it. The previous owner’s opted for a basic crawl space drainage system, leaving the area open and vulnerable to further moisture, mold, and intrusions.

Worried about these problems already persisting, JT reached out to Rainy Day. We discussed encapsulation as a solution, proposing a sealed crawl space to prevent future headaches. After an inspection and estimate, we designed a custom system for JT’s peace of mind.

We thoroughly cleaned the crawl space, applied a safe and effective botanical Mold-X2 treatment, and installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation System with a new dehumidifier. This sealed the space tight, leaving it completely dry and protected from mold thanks to CleanSpace’s antimicrobial qualities and the dehumidifier’s moisture control.

JT’s initial concerns are not only resolved, but exceeded. We’ve ensured long-term protection and energy-efficiency for his family’s new home.

In Mount Vernon, WA, residents Jivatesh and Amreen T. encountered issues with water seepage and mold in their home's crawl space. Despite a pre-existing partial waterproofing system, mold persisted, posing a potential threat. Seeking a solution, they contacted Rainy Day.

System Design Specialist Zach assessed the situation and identified a crucial gap: the lack of a barrier between the ground and the crawl space. While groundwater control was effective, this gap allowed moisture and mold to persist. Zach recommended encapsulating the crawl space as the optimal solution.

After Rainy Day's intervention, the transformation was evident in before-and-after photos. The encapsulation effectively sealed out mold, moisture, and pests. This not only improved energy efficiency and insulation but also prevented further mold growth by reducing humidity. The once-neglected space became a usable storage area, and clean, healthy air now circulated throughout the entire house.

Jivatesh and Amreen prioritized their home's longevity and health, and Rainy Day installed a CleanSpace encapsulated crawl space along with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The outcome, documented in the photos, showcased both aesthetic improvement and enhanced well-being for the couple and their home.

Greg and Cheryl from Stanwood, WA, had a big problem—mold in their crawlspace! They felt worried about the health of their family and their home's safety. So, they called Rainy Day Basement Systems for help. Kirsten, an expert inspector, came to their rescue. Kirsten suggested waterproofing the crawlspace, encapsulating it in CleanSpace, and using Mold-X2, a special botanical solution used to prevent mold. Now, Greg and Cheryl's crawlspace is healthy, and they feel much better knowing their family is safe and their home is protected.

Mary noticed moisture in the crawl space of her 1950's home and contacted Rainy Day Basement Systems for a free inspection and estimate. Jean-Paul, System Design Specialist, noted signs of mold and moisture, and there was no proper vapor barrier, which was contributing to the moisture issues. Working with Mary, Jean-Paul came up with a scope of work that set out to accomplish controlling moisture, closing the crawl space with encapsulation, protecting the home from mold and intrusion, and providing energy efficiency. Tyler's crew installed the job, carefully removing debris, cleaning the crawl space, and installing a thick, 20 mil vapor barrier over the walls and floor. The crew also installed a SmartDrain and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. With the crawl space now closed, humidity under control, and moisture no longer an issue, Mary said, "The crawl space looks great!"

Mary's 1950s home was like many of its era, with a vented crawl space that lacked protection. This meant that moisture from the ground and air could easily seep into the crawl space, creating a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Looking for a permanent solution, she reached out to Rainy Day Basement Systems.

System Design Specialist, Jean-Paul, examined her crawl space and quickly identified the problem. He explained that the lack of a proper vapor barrier and the open vents were allowing moisture to enter the crawl space and causing problems within the home. He recommended encapsulation, a process that involves sealing the crawl space with a thick vapor barrier and closing any vents or openings.

Rainy Day cleaned up the crawl space, installed the vapor barrier, and sealed all openings. Within a short time, Mary's crawl space was dry, mold-free, and energy-efficient. She was happy with the results, saying, "The crawl space looks great, and the crew was professional, helpful, and thorough."

Mary's story is a reminder that homeowners don't have to suffer from crawl space problems. With the right solution, crawl spaces can be transformed into dry, healthy, and energy-efficient spaces.
