Carolina Basement Systems Before & After Photos

These photos show the dramatic improvement of a crawl space after professional encapsulation and moisture control solutions. The “before” image reveals falling insulation, high humidity, and signs of water intrusion, which can cause mold growth, structural damage, and poor air quality. To resolve these issues, our team installed a full vapor barrier and added a high-performance dehumidifier to regulate moisture levels year-round. The “after” image shows a clean, sealed, and protected crawl space that helps safeguard the home’s foundation and ensures a healthier living environment above.

Years of water seepage and high humidity ruined this crawl space. Mold had grown everywhere, and the insulation failed. We provided a permanent solution by cleaning out the crawl space, insulating the walls, wrapping it in a durable vapor barrier, and installing a SaniDry dehumidifying air system.

Water was constantly getting into this crawl space making it easy to grow mold, and it started to ruin the fiberglass insulation. These issues were not solved with the existing plastic covering, so to fix the problem we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This barrier keeps excess moisture out of the air and lets the crawl space stay drier.

Water seepage was causing increased pressure to crack and bow this block wall inward. To avoid a wall collapse, the homeowner hired us to install our carbon fiber strips that stabilize the wall.

A previously installed waterproofing system in this home's basement had become obsolete. During big storms with power outages, the system would occasionally fail, so we installed our TripleSafe sump pump with a battery backup and a vapor barrier to ensure that water is dealt with no matter what.
