Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation and Stabilization in Mount Dora, Florida
Kimberly recently purchased a historic 19th-century home in Mount Dora, Florida, and wanted to begin renovations, starting with the crawl space beneath the house. She sought to enhance the support for the home’s floors and encapsulate the crawl space to protect it from moisture damage. Kimberly reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for an inspection and to design a comprehensive solution to address these needs. Upon conducting a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist found that many of the original block piers in the crawl space had deteriorated, leading to insufficient support for the floor joists above.
To resolve this, we created a customized plan to provide the floor joists with durable and permanent stabilization using our SmartJack system. In addition, the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System would be installed to ensure long-term protection against moisture. After reviewing the plan with Kimberly, our team implemented these solutions, fully renovating the crawl space and giving her historic home the stable support it requires. Kimberly can now enjoy her home with peace of mind, knowing it’s prepared to endure safely for many more years.
Crawl Space Before Encapsulation
Upon inspecting the crawl space, our Design Specialist discovered a significant amount of debris and deteriorated insulation that had accumulated over time.
Settling Block Piers
Many of the original block piers in the crawl space were found to be deteriorating and disassembling, leading to a lack of stable support for the floor joists above.
Encapsulating Crawl Space
The LRE team encapsulated the entire crawl space with the CleanSpace waterproof plastic liner to provide year-round protection against moisture damage.
Stabilizing Crawl Space SmartJack System
Following the installation of the CleanSpace system, the LRE installs the SmartJack system to provide durable and permanent support to the wooden floor joists above.
CleanSpace EverLast Crawl Space Door
A CleanSpace EverLast Crawl Space Door is installed at the entryway to provide an airtight and watertight seal, protecting against insects and rodents while keeping humidity out.
Complete Crawl Space Stabilization and Protection
With the complete implementation of both the CleanSpace and SmartJack systems, the home's crawl space is now fully protected and supported for many years to come.
