Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Paige in Advance, NC contacted Carolina Basement Systems because she was having problems with her crawl space. The crawl space was damp and humid, and Paige was concerned about mold and mildew. Carolina Basement Systems installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier system and a SaniDry Basement Dehumidifier. The CleanSpace vapor barrier system will help to keep the crawl space dry, and the SaniDry Basement Dehumidifier will help to remove any moisture that does build up.

Made from a 20mil thick, 7-layer polyethylene composition, our CleanSpace is the most durable vapor barrier on the market. Once installed, it seals, covers, and protects the are from any moisture or humidity. 

We encapsulated this crawl space with our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier. Then, to eliminate musty odors and promote healthy air throughout, we added the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purification system. Moisture nor humidity stand a chance against this crawl space now!

This crawl space was suffering from excessive moisture, high humidity, and a damaged vapor barrier that allowed musty odors and potential mold growth to spread through the home. The “before” photo shows torn plastic and exposed insulation, clear indicators of poor moisture control and air quality issues.

To restore a healthy environment, our team installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, the most efficient crawl space dehumidifier on the market. Combined with a durable CleanSpace vapor barrier, this system keeps humidity levels below 55%, preventing mold, wood rot, and musty odors. The “after” photo shows a fully sealed, clean crawl space environment now dry, energy-efficient, and protected for long-term structural health.

This Advance, NC homeowner was dealing with a crawl space affected by exposed soil, moisture intrusion, and unprotected ground surfaces that allowed humidity to accumulate beneath the home. Conditions like these can contribute to musty odors, elevated indoor humidity levels, and an environment where mold and wood rot may develop over time.

To create a healthier and more protected crawl space, our team installed a durable vapor barrier across the crawl space floor and wrapped the support piers to help block ground moisture. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to actively control humidity levels year-round. Together, these solutions help reduce moisture, improve air quality throughout the home, and create a cleaner, brighter crawl space environment. The result is a dry, conditioned space designed to protect the home's structure and provide long-term peace of mind.
