Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Moldy Crawl Space Repair in Harrisville, WV

A crawl space in Harrisville, WV, had standing water seeping through gaps beneath the walls, leading to mold growth and visibly damaging the wooden walls and support beams. To create a safe, dry, and structurally sound space, our team replaced the failing beam and installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system to stop moisture at the source. We added proper drainage and sealed intrusion points, keeping the crawl space mold-free and clean for the future.

Moldy Crawl Space from Standing Water

Mold had begun to cover the wooden walls of the crawl space. Since mold loves organic materials, even slight moisture can lead to growth, leading to nasty odors and potential health problems if not addressed.

Water Intrusion Through Wall Gaps

The gaps located beneath the wooden panels of the crawl space were allowing water to intrude. One of our first steps was to install proper drainage and seal off entry points like these gaps to prevent water from entering the crawl space.

Drainage Matting and SilverGlo

As part of the CleanSpace encapsulation system, we installed drainage matting beneath the liner to allow water to flow freely to a drainage system or sump pump and away from the home. We also added SilverGlo, a highly energy-efficient insulation and wall panel, to keep the walls warm and dry. Unlike fiberglass, SilverGlo won't absorb moisture and helps prevents mold growth.

Finished Encapsulation with New Main Beam

The improvement with the CleanSpace encapsulation is like night and day. CleanSpace is a reliable moisture barrier that prevents water from entering the space and protects it from mold and humidity. It's extremely durable, long-lasting, and energy-efficient, designed for dependable performance rather than requiring you to pick up little projects every year.
