Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This home in Durham, NC was dealing with common crawl space issues: exposed soil, failing plastic liners, high humidity, and insulation beginning to sag. These symptoms often lead to mold growth, wood rot, musty odors, and reduced energy efficiency throughout the home.

To protect the structure and create a healthier environment, our team completed a full crawl space encapsulation. We installed a durable CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floors, walls, and support columns to completely seal the space from moisture. The homeowner now has a clean, bright, and conditioned crawl space that keeps humidity under control, protects ductwork, and prevents future moisture damage.

This transformation provides long-term protection for the home’s foundation and greatly improves indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

This Durham, NC homeowner began noticing that their floors were no longer level and had started to sag in certain areas of the home. After a thorough crawl space inspection, our team identified weakened floor supports contributing to the issue.

To restore stability, we installed a series of adjustable crawl space support jacks designed to reinforce the floor system and provide permanent support where it was needed most. These heavy-duty steel supports help reduce floor bounce, stabilize settling areas, and improve the overall structural integrity of the home.

To help protect the crawl space environment and the newly reinforced support system, a vapor barrier was also installed to help control ground moisture and create a cleaner, healthier crawl space.

The result is a stronger, more stable floor system and added peace of mind for the homeowner.

We lifted and leveled this sunken concrete slab with the modern technology of PolyLevel. This process allows for accurate and controlled concrete lifting without adding weight to the weak soils below.

The concrete slab had visible cracks and joints that were deteriorating, posing a risk of further damage and creating an unsightly appearance. Our team applied NexusPro Crack Repair Solution to fill and seal the cracks, preventing water infiltration and further deterioration. Additionally, we used NexusPro Joint Repair to reinforce and stabilize the joints, ensuring long-lasting durability and restoring the slab's structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

This crawl space in Durham, NC underwent a complete transformation. The “before” shows an exposed dirt floor with torn insulation and open block walls that allowed moisture and air to seep in, creating the perfect conditions for mold, odors, and higher energy bills. After our team’s encapsulation system was installed, the space is now sealed with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, insulation, and wall protection. This upgrade not only prevents moisture and pests from entering but also improves energy efficiency and creates a cleaner, healthier environment for the entire home.
