Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Hurricane Crawl Space Water Damage Solution

This homeowner in Woodbine, GA was dealing with significant damage in their crawl space caused by Hurricane Nicole. Our team of experts conducted a thorough inspection and recommended the installation of a CleanSpace Encapsulation System to control moisture levels and prevent future water damage. In addition to the encapsulation system, we installed SmartJacks to provide structural support and reinforce weakened areas. To address potential water buildup and seepage around the interior perimeter of the crawl space foundation, we also installed a perimeter waterproofing drainage system, which effectively directs water away from the home and prevents future flooding. Overall, the installation of these systems provided a comprehensive solution that addressed the homeowner's concerns and protected their home from future damage.

Signs of Water Seepage

On the concrete block wall, there were signs of water seeping into the crawl space.

What a Mess!

After hurricane Nicole, this crawl space was especially messy, with fallen insulation, a muddy plastic barrier, and signs of wood support post deterioration.

Pooling Water

In many areas of the crawl space, water had pooled on top of the vapor barrier, essentially defeating the purpose of the barrier.

Walls Sealed & Perimeter Drainage

Here is a photo taken after Foamax wall insulation was used to seal off openings to the crawl space. The HydroLink drainage system is also being installed in excavated channels around the crawl space perimeter. Drainage rock is poured over this as well to aid drainage and hold it down.
