Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Rotten Floor Replaced - But How Can it Be Protected?

This home in Sparta, GA had noticeable water damage in the crawl space, which was causing the wooden support beams to weaken and rot until no longer stable. After replacing the rotten floor, our team installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation System to prevent future water damage, keeping the crawl space dry and preserving the structural integrity of the home.

Mushrooms & Mold

Mushrooms and mold were growing many joists in the crawl space, indicating extreme moisture conditions.

88% Relative Humidity

Our inspector measured the humidity level at 88% in the crawl space, extremely high. There is condensation on the joists in this photo as well.

MOLD!

All of the joists in this crawl space had mold growing on them.

New Floor Installed by Lowcountry

Our team removed the rotten floor and replaced it with a new treated wood floor, but it is important to stop the root cause of the issue, not just the symptoms, so a CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed.

Before CleanSpace Encapsulation

Water was pooling into this crawl space, causing wood rot.

After CleanSpace Encapsulation

Here is the area after being sealed with CleanSpace

Sealed Up the Piers

A good vapor barrier system keeps moisture out by sealing up the piers as well.

Perimeter Drainage System

Under the Vapor Barrier System there is also a drainage system that intakes water seepage and sends it to a sump to be removed.

Installed TripleSafe Sump Pump

A powerful sump pump was used in order to keep the crawl space dry even with heavy rains.

SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier

With high humidity, humid air will still be pulled into the crawl space in small amounts after a properly sealed encapsulation. this moisture is monitored and pulled out of the air by the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, designed specifically for the harsh crawl space environment.
