Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Structural Support - Jacksonville, FL
This Jacksonville, FL home underwent a full crawl space encapsulation and stabilization project to address moisture, humidity, and structural concerns. Before installation, the crawl space showed signs of excess moisture and poor air quality, contributing to wood damage and foundation instability.
Our crew installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier system to seal the crawl space from ground moisture, along with SmartJack support posts to reinforce and stabilize sagging floor joists. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and battery backup sump pump system was added to ensure continuous humidity control and water management.
Unsealed and Moisture-Exposed Crawl Space - Jacksonville, FL
This crawl space shows clear symptoms of high humidity and exposure to outside air. The open vent and damp, wrinkled ground liner indicate moisture intrusion, which can lead to wood rot, mold growth, and musty odors spreading into the home above. The dark discoloration and cobweb buildup also suggest poor air circulation and long-term moisture presence.
Moisture Barrier Installation in Progress - Jacksonville, FL
This photo shows a crawl space with a partially installed vapor barrier, a key step in reducing ground moisture. The presence of plastic sheeting indicates progress toward encapsulation, but loose sections and exposed edges reveal areas still vulnerable to humidity and vapor seepage. Without full sealing, moisture can still rise into the wooden subfloor, contributing to potential rot, musty odors, and poor indoor air quality.
Crawl Space Humidity Control - Jacksonville, FL
This photo shows a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed to combat excess moisture within the crawl space. High humidity levels in enclosed areas like this can lead to wood rot, mold growth, and poor indoor air quality. The SaniDry system actively removes moisture from the air, helping maintain a dry and stable environment, which protects the home's wooden structure and prevents future damage.
Structural Reinforcement with SmartJack Supports - Jacksonville, FL
This crawl space shows SmartJack support posts installed beneath weakened floor joists. The sagging wood beams above indicate structural settlement caused by moisture exposure and unstable soil. SmartJacks provide adjustable, long-term stabilization, helping to lift and level the floors above while preventing future sagging or wood damage.
Sump Pump System with Battery Backup - Jacksonville, FL
This photo shows a sump pump system with a battery backup installed in the crawl space. The setup indicates that the area previously experienced water intrusion and pooling, which can lead to mold, wood decay, and structural issues. The sump pump actively removes collected water, while the backup ensures continued protection during power outages, keeping the crawl space dry, protected, and structurally sound year-round.
