Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Drying out a crawlspace through water diversion using french drains.

This San Diego, CA crawl space went from exposed soil, rocks, and an unprotected foundation area to a cleaner, protected environment with a professional crawl space encapsulation system. The installed liner covers the crawl space floor and extends along the foundation walls and supports, helping isolate the home from ground moisture. Crawl space encapsulation can help San Diego homeowners protect the area beneath their homes from moisture, humidity, and the problems that can develop in an exposed crawl space.

This before-and-after view shows the transformation of an exposed dirt crawl space beneath a San Diego, CA home. The crawl space was encapsulated with a protective liner installed across the ground and carefully sealed around the support posts. The completed system helps separate the home from exposed soil and ground moisture while creating a cleaner, more controlled environment beneath the house.

Before Photo shows what kind of doors are typically used for your crawl space. You may not be one to be using it often, but having the correct door does play a significant role in the performance of your home. A typical crawl space door is made of wood. This can lead to warping, rotting, and can completely fall apart. In the after photo, we replaced the wooden door with The Everlast(TM) Crawl Space Door which does none of those things. Each Everlast door is a custom fit to each individual crawl space and creates an air-tight and waterproof seal. Sealing your crawl space entryway is crucial to keep hot, humid summer air and cold winter air out of your home. It also reduces moisture and pests from entering your crawl space keeping it nice and clean. 

This before-and-after set shows part of a waterproofing and encapsulation project completed in San Diego, California. Before the repair, the interior space had exposed concrete and partially removed wall materials as the area was prepared for waterproofing. The completed photo shows the installed wall encapsulation system along with drainage and water-management components designed to help control moisture and direct water away from the interior space.

This type of waterproofing system helps create a cleaner, more protected environment while addressing water intrusion at its source rather than simply covering visible signs of moisture.
