Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Foundation Issues & Musty Crawl Space Odors in La Pointe, WI
This La Pointe, WI homeowner was dealing with serious foundation issues and persistent musty odors from the crawl space. As seen in the "before" photo, the foundation was crumbling, creating both safety concerns and a damp, unpleasant environment. To tackle these issues, we employed a comprehensive solution, including a trusted Helical Pier system to stabilize and secure the foundation. We also installed SmartPipe™ and SmartSump™ to manage water flow, along with SmartJacks™ for additional support to ensure a level and solid structure.
In addition to addressing the foundation, we tackled the musty smell by installing a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal out moisture and a SaniDry Sedona® for high-efficiency dehumidification. The crawl space was also equipped with an EverLast® door and reinforced with rim joists and cross beam supports to ensure lasting protection and structural integrity.
As shown in the "after" photo, the transformation is remarkable. The crawl space is now safe, dry, and odor-free, providing the homeowner with peace of mind and a reliable, long-lasting solution to their foundation and moisture problems. Our work has not only eliminated the immediate safety hazards but also safeguarded the home for years to come.
