Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Reno crawlspace went from damp, dirty, and unusable to clean, dry, and protected with our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. By sealing out moisture, improving air quality, and adding long-term protection, this crawlspace is now a healthier part of the home and a space the homeowners can feel confident in.

See the difference in this Reno crawl space door replacement! We upgraded the old, rusted metal access door to The Turtl®: a durable, weather-resistant crawl space entry system that seals out pests, moisture, and debris. Perfect for Northern Nevada’s climate, The Turtl® provides secure, easy access for maintenance while boosting curb appeal. 

This Reno crawlspace started out with only a thin plastic ground cover (a basic vapor barrier) laid across the dirt floor. While it offers minimal moisture protection, it isn’t sealed or secured like a true encapsulation system, leaving the space vulnerable to humidity, odors, and energy loss.

After our transformation, the crawlspace is fully encapsulated with a professional-grade barrier that seals the floor, walls, and piers. The result is a clean, dry, and healthier environment that helps protect the foundation, improve air quality, and increase energy efficiency for the entire home.

This crawl space experienced ongoing water intrusion caused by a clogged gutter downspout directing water into a low-lying area of the home. Standing water and moisture buildup created the need for immediate drainage correction and long-term waterproofing.

Our team resolved the issue by installing three sump pumps to properly manage groundwater and redirect moisture away from the foundation. The crawl space was then fully protected with a complete encapsulation system, sealing the ground and foundation walls to prevent future water intrusion, improve air quality, and protect the home’s structural integrity.

Before this home was even built, our team completed a full crawlspace encapsulation to ensure the foundation was protected from the start. By sealing and conditioning the crawlspace, we’re helping prevent moisture buildup, wood rot, and long-term structural damage — creating a dry, energy-efficient environment for the home’s future.

This project shows how investing in foundation protection early in the construction process can save homeowners from costly repairs down the road. The before-and-after results highlight the difference a clean, encapsulated crawlspace makes — even before the first wall goes up!
