Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

This Mount Airy, NC basement was showing clear signs of foundation stress, including horizontal wall cracking, moisture intrusion, and wall movement. Over time, excess moisture and soil pressure caused the block wall to bow and deteriorate, creating an unsafe and damp environment.

Our team stepped in with a full solution to stabilize and protect the home. We installed heavy-duty steel I-beams along the affected wall to provide immediate structural support and prevent further movement. To permanently address the wall pressure, we also installed GeoLock wall anchors, which work to stabilize and gradually straighten the foundation over time.

To combat ongoing moisture issues, we completed a full basement waterproofing system, sealing the space and creating a clean, dry, and healthier environment.

The result is a fully reinforced, waterproofed basement that gives the homeowner long-term peace of mind and a space they can trust again.

A crawl space with high humidity, damp conditions, and musty odors can affect the comfort of your entire home. Excess moisture beneath your home can also encourage mold growth, damage insulation, and impact indoor air quality.

For this Mount Airy, NC home, our team installed a durable crawl space vapor barrier along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control moisture at the source. The vapor barrier helps keep ground moisture out, while the SaniDry Sedona continuously removes excess humidity from the air, creating a cleaner and healthier crawl space.

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!
