Clean CrawlSpace Inc. Before & After Photos

Larry's home in San Pablo, California, sits on a terraced hill. When it rains, water inevitably seeps into the crawlspace, causing high humidity throughout the house and even leaving clothes in the master bedroom closet damp. Larry decided to take action and called in the professionals at Clean CrawlSpace to fix the problem.

The Clean CrawlSpace moisture control specialists identified the source of moisture in Larry’s crawlspace. Then our skilled installation crew came, They then installed a drainage mat along the trench bottoms to collect any remaining water. Next, they encapsulated the crawlspace walls and floor using the innovative CleanSpace® Crawl Space Vapor Barrier system to prevent moisture from entering. Finally, they installed a sump pump in the crawlspace's lowest point to pump away any water that does manage to get inside.

The result? Larry's crawlspace is now dry and the humidity in his house has returned to normal levels. His clothes are no longer damp, and he can finally relax and enjoy his home without worrying about water damage. If you're having similar problems with water in your San Pablo, California, crawlspace, don't hesitate to call Clean CrawlSpace to get it fixed! 

Many homeowners underestimate the dangers of a wet crawlspace. Left unchecked, moisture can lead to a host of problems, from structural damage and mold growth to respiratory issues and decreased home value. Take Susan P. of the beautiful beach town of Capitola, California, for example. Aware of the potential consequences, Susan didn't wait for the rainy season to wreak havoc. She took proactive steps to ensure her home's safety and well-being.

Susan called in the Capitola experts at Clean Crawlspace to address the moisture problem permanently. The Clean Crawlspace team devised a comprehensive solution that included trenching and drainage systems to divert water away from the foundation, a SmartSump pump to act as a mini-vacuum for excess moisture, and a CleanSpace vapor barrier system to encapsulate the entire crawlspace and prevent ground moisture from seeping in. Thanks to her quick thinking and the professional solutions implemented, Susan can now face the rainy season with peace of mind, knowing her home is protected from the damaging effects of a wet crawlspace.

Rainwater woes were plaguing Alexander L.'s Los Altos, California home. The culprit? A damp crawlspace accumulates standing water. Recognizing the potential damage a moist crawlspace can cause, Alexander prioritized the health of his investment and contacted Clean Crawlspace, the Bay Area’s specialists in crawlspace solutions.

Clean Crawlspace took a multi-pronged approach to address Alexander's concerns. They created a robust drainage system, complete with trenching to redirect water and a layer of rock and perforated pipe for optimal flow. To prevent future moisture intrusion, a SmartSump pump and CleanSpace vapor barrier system were installed, encapsulating the entire crawlspace and stopping ground moisture from seeping in. Finally, five dehumidifiers were strategically placed to actively remove any lingering moisture from the air, ensuring a consistently dry and healthy environment.

The homeowners started the process of remodeling the home to make it more livable and increase the value. They were having the HVAC of the home looked at and fixed up. When the company went into the crawl space to inspect the HVAC they realized that if they fixed it, it would just go bad again because of the state of the crawlspace. They recommended we come out and encapsulate the crawl space. We were able to clean up the crawl space, fully encapsulate it, and make it a much healthier environment. They were so happy that they could be confident that the air they are breathing is clean and that the value of there home was raised!

Many people ask us where the water goes that gets pumped out of their crawl space. There are many, many places to pump the water out of the crawl space. We can tie into drainage systems that are already in place. We can pump it right out of the home. But the best way is to pump the water far away from the home. This is a good example of making it a drainage system looks nice. We make it very invisible but at a safe distance away from the home!
