Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Rochester was dealing with a crawlspace that had clearly been showing its age for decades. Built in 1900, the home’s crawlspace was far from typical. The homeowner had started noticing sagging floors on the main level, along with a strong musty odor coming from below the house. When our System Design Specialist arrived to inspect the situation, it quickly became clear this would be a challenging project. The crawlspace had multiple small “rooms,” extremely tight areas, and other sections with as much as 5' of clearance, making repairs very difficult. Moisture, failing support beams, and poor air quality were all contributing to the home's ongoing problems.

Despite the difficult layout, our team developed a customized solution that allowed us to restore the crawlspace without the need for major demolition. We installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system throughout the accessible areas to help seal out moisture, pests, and cold air that were affecting the home above. We also reinforced the failing support beams to help stabilize the sagging floors and improve the structural integrity of the home. The transformation not only improved the condition of the crawlspace itself but also helped create a healthier, cleaner, and more comfortable living environment throughout the main floor of the home.

This Rochester home doesn't have to worry about rain flooding this spring!

Here's a great example of just how bright and clean our CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation can look. Just image the amount of storage space this family will have now without the worry of dampness or mold!

Rick is a homeowner in Austin, MN and customer of Complete Basement Systems.  Our company repaired his crawl space by installing a vapor barrier on the dirt floor of his crawl space using our patented CleanSpace System for crawl spaces.  Having this installed in your crawl space will protect the home above from the moisture, odors and other things that come from the earth under our homes. 

This homeowner in Albert Lea, MN was dealing with a crawlspace that was far from ideal. The area had exposed dirt and gravel floors, torn insulation, and no proper vapor barrier to protect against ground moisture. These conditions allowed excess humidity to build up, creating an environment that could lead to mold growth, poor air quality, and long-term structural concerns. The crawlspace was also inefficient, contributing to energy loss and uncomfortable conditions throughout the home.

We completely transformed the crawlspace by installing a full CleanSpace encapsulation system. The exposed ground was sealed with a durable, high-performance vapor barrier that now fully covers the floor and walls, locking out moisture and improving overall air quality. The space is now clean, bright, and properly protected from humidity and outside elements. This encapsulation not only helps safeguard the home’s structure but also creates a healthier, more energy-efficient environment for the homeowner, giving her peace of mind that her crawlspace is protected for years to come.
