Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Mount Airy, NC crawl space was originally in poor condition, with hanging and deteriorated insulation, exposed wiring, and signs of moisture damage a recipe for mold growth, energy inefficiency, and structural concerns. The “before” photo shows torn insulation and a damp, unsealed ground liner that offered little to no protection.

Our team completely revitalized the space with a professional encapsulation system. We removed the failing insulation, sealed the ground and walls with a CleanSpace vapor barrier, and improved air quality and moisture control. The result is a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment that protects the home from the ground up. This transformation not only improves indoor air quality but also adds long-term value and peace of mind for the homeowner.

This Mount Airy, NC home was facing several crawl space moisture issues before our team arrived. The “before” photo shows a thin, loose plastic barrier that wasn’t sealed or protecting the home from ground moisture. Insulation was falling from the floor joists, wiring and duct lines were exposed to high humidity, and the crawl space had no system in place to control moisture levels. These conditions can lead to mold growth, wood rot, musty odors, and poor indoor air quality throughout the home.

To correct these problems, our team installed a complete CleanSpace encapsulation system followed by a Sedona dehumidifier to actively control humidity year-round. The new vapor barrier is tightly sealed around piers, walls, and plumbing lines, creating a clean and protected environment under the home. With the addition of the Sedona, the crawl space now maintains healthy humidity levels, helping prevent mold, protecting the home’s structure, and improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

This homeowner in Mt. Airy, NC was dealing with common crawl space issues including exposed soil, excess moisture, poor air quality, and sagging insulation. These conditions can lead to mold growth, wood rot, musty odors, and increased energy costs throughout the home.

To transform the space, our team completed a full crawl space encapsulation. We installed a durable vapor barrier to seal off ground moisture, preventing it from entering the home. SilverGlo insulation panels were added along the walls to improve energy efficiency and regulate temperature, while also helping to create a clean, bright environment.

To control humidity and maintain a dry, healthy crawl space, we installed the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This powerful system continuously removes excess moisture from the air, protecting the home from mold and improving overall air quality.

With these solutions in place, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and energy-efficient giving the homeowner long-term protection and peace of mind.

Multiple items inside this basement had been ruined by water flooding in from the doorway and the porous block walls. Our interior waterproofing system catches the water as it enters and sends it outside the home through our sump pump that we installed in the corner. This solved the flooding issue for this basement!

The constant water intrusion was ruining this basement. We installed our WaterGaurd drainage, CleanSpace vapor barrier, SaniDry dehumidifier, and our TripleSafe sump pump to waterproof and protect the area from various forms of water vapor.
