Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Dehumidifier Installation in Los Alamitos, CA

Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair completed a crawlspace encapsulation project at this Los Alamitos, CA, home. The project photos show the transformation from exposed soil and uncovered foundation walls to a crawlspace lined with a white vapor barrier, along with an installed AprilAire dehumidifier. Before encapsulation, the crawlspace had bare earth beneath the wood floor framing, with plumbing, support posts, and masonry surfaces exposed. Installation photos document the underlying drainage matting and the vapor barrier fitted across the ground, along foundation walls, and around support bases. The completed vapor barrier separates the crawlspace from exposed soil, while the dehumidifier provides a way to manage airborne moisture beneath the home. Together, these components form the moisture control approach used for this project.

AprilAire Dehumidifier Installed in Los Alamitos Crawl Space

An AprilAire dehumidifier sits above the newly installed white vapor barrier beneath this Los Alamitos home. A condensate pump and connected tubing are visible beside the unit as part of the crawlspace moisture control installation.

Completed Crawl Space Encapsulation in Los Alamitos, CA

White vapor barrier covers the crawlspace ground and extends around the bases of existing floor supports. This completed view shows the encapsulation work beneath the wood beams and floor joists.

Crawl Space Wall and Floor Vapor Barrier Installation

The vapor barrier extends across the crawlspace floor and up the foundation wall, with attachment points visible along the wall surface. Saber fitted the material around existing support bases beneath the Los Alamitos home.

Vapor Barrier Fitted Around a Crawl Space Support Base

A close view shows the white vapor barrier fitted around the masonry base of an existing wood support post. The surrounding ground and foundation wall are also covered as part of the crawlspace encapsulation project.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation Around Existing Framing

White vapor barrier covers the ground and a masonry surface beneath the home's wood framing. This installation photo shows the crew working within the limited clearance around existing supports and utilities.

Drainage Matting Beneath the Crawl Space Vapor Barrier

Brown drainage matting is visible beneath a partially positioned section of white vapor barrier near a support base. This photo documents an underlying layer of the encapsulation installation before it is covered.

Crawl Space Drainage Layer During Encapsulation

Drainage matting is positioned beneath existing plumbing and wood floor framing during the encapsulation project. This view shows the installation area before the white vapor barrier covers the underlying material.

Crawl Space Before Encapsulation in Los Alamitos, CA

Exposed soil, uncovered masonry walls, and wood floor joists are visible before encapsulation. This photo documents the original crawlspace conditions beneath the Los Alamitos property.

Exposed Masonry and Soil Before Crawl Space Encapsulation

A brick masonry surface borders the bare-earth crawlspace beneath the home. The photo shows uncovered surfaces and existing conditions before Saber installed the vapor barrier system.

Existing Crawl Space Support and Plumbing Before Encapsulation

A wood support post, floor beam, and plumbing are visible above exposed soil in the crawlspace. This view documents the existing layout that the encapsulation installation needed to accommodate.

Bare-Earth Crawl Space Before Moisture Control Installation

Uneven soil, scattered loose material, and existing pipe sections are visible beneath the floor framing. This photo shows the crawlspace before the vapor barrier and dehumidifier installation.
