Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Comprehensive Crawl Space and Drainage System Transformation - Chapel Hill, NC

This project in Chapel Hill, NC highlights a complete crawl space and yard drainage transformation to protect the home from moisture, water intrusion, and structural concerns. The process began with the installation of an exterior drainage line, ensuring water is directed safely away from the property. Inside the crawl space, our team addressed sagging floors with SmartJack support posts, stabilizing the foundation and providing long-lasting support. Next, we encapsulated the crawl space with a CleanSpace liner, creating a durable vapor barrier that prevents ground moisture from rising into the home. To further protect the space, we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels and improve air quality, alongside an UltraSump sump pump system with a battery backup for reliable water removal during heavy rains or power outages. The result is a clean, dry, and structurally sound crawl space that improves the health and safety of the entire home. This project demonstrates how a full system drainage, stabilization, encapsulation, dehumidification, and sump pumping works together to provide homeowners with complete peace of mind.

Installing a New Drainage Line - Chapel Hill, NC

To help control water around the home, our team began by installing a new exterior drainage line with a catch basin. This system directs water away from the foundation, preventing pooling near the home and reducing the risk of crawl space moisture issues.

After carefully trenching and setting the new drainage line, the system was fully buried and blended back into the yard. The catch basin now works discreetly to capture excess water and move it away from the foundation, leaving the property protected and looking clean.

Crawl Space Before Encapsulation - Chapel Hill, NC

The crawl space showed exposed block walls, unsealed plastic, and aging drainage lines. These conditions left the area vulnerable to moisture, odors, and structural risks. This "before" view highlights why a full encapsulation system was needed to restore protection and create a clean, healthy space.

After installing a full encapsulation system, the crawl space is now sealed with a durable vapor barrier. This clean, bright surface locks out ground moisture, protects the structure, and improves air quality throughout the home. The transformation ensures a healthier, more energy-efficient environment.

UltraSump Installation - Chapel Hill, NC

To ensure the crawl space stays dry year-round, we installed an UltraSump system with battery backup. This powerful sump pump automatically removes any water that enters the space, while the backup system provides extra protection during heavy storms or power outages. Together, it guarantees reliable drainage and peace of mind for the homeowner.

SaniDry Dehumidifier Installation - Chapel Hill, NC

To complete the encapsulation system, we installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. This high-performance unit keeps humidity levels under control, preventing mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors. By working alongside the UltraSump system, it ensures the crawl space stays clean, dry, and healthy year-round.

SmartJack Support System Installation - Chapel Hill, NC

To restore structural stability, we installed SmartJack support posts beneath the home. These galvanized steel supports are fully adjustable and designed to permanently reinforce sagging floors and weakened joists. Combined with the encapsulation system, they ensure both a stronger foundation and a healthier crawl space environment.
