So Cal Crawl Space Solutions Before & After Photos

New Flooring

We were called to give an estimate on kitchen flooring. We got the job they picked out the color and installed it. Boy what a difference. They were very happy.

Installation – Sump Pump

Hooked up the sump pump to the water guard with an access door for easy access.

Crawlspace Waterproofing, Mold Remediation & Interior Decontamination

Property Concern:
The homeowner contacted us due to extensive water damage, visible mold growth, and poor air quality within their crawlspace and lower interior living spaces. The existing sump system was failing, drainage was inadequate, and the area lacked vapor barriers and insulation. The home also experienced odors, high humidity, and suspected mold intrusion into the first floor.

Scope of Work Performed:
We installed a 100-ft subsurface drainage system using perforated PVC pipe with gravel and filter fabric, along with a new SmartSump basin and pump system. Drain lines were routed beneath the foundation and backfilled with concrete. The crawlspace was covered with 1,100 sq. ft. of drainage matting and 1,600 sq. ft. of CleanSpace encapsulation, including wrapped piers. Dehumidifiers and air scrubbers were used for a 4-day dry-out, followed by moldicide treatment of the subfloor and framing. Additional upgrades included R-6 insulation, a new 20-amp GFCI circuit with lighting, and thorough interior mold remediation, including deep cleaning of all surfaces, ductwork, and high-reach areas. A temporary fan system was installed for air testing and ventilation.

Outcome:
This project transformed a damp, mold-prone environment into a clean, sealed, and conditioned crawlspace. Strategic drainage and vapor control eliminated water intrusion risks, while active dehumidification and mold remediation improved indoor air quality. The client now benefits from a healthy and moisture-free foundation, enhanced HVAC performance, and peace of mind with a fully protected subarea.

Piers – Santa Barbara

Installation of 8 Smart Jack Piers in a 1963 home built in Santa Barbara.

Del Sol

Crawlspace was moist and wet. They wanted a solution. The crawlspace was dirt before and now is covered and has drainage.

Basement Under Water

Ground water seeped into the lower basement which resulted into hydrostatic pressure causing flooding. The water was 4 to 5 inches deep. We removed the water from the basement and we installed water guard, sump pump along with a discharge line.

El Dorado clean out and encapsulation

House was recently remodeled. The last few rains they have noticed an odor “musty” in the home. They believe their raingutters water plus drainage seeped into the crawlspace plus there was debris and insulation.

Crawlspace Odor & Moisture Remediation with Flood Proofing System

The project involves a full crawlspace remediation and flood-proofing system to eliminate odors and moisture issues. Work includes soil regrading and installation of a buried 3” perforated PVC drainage system with gravel and fabric, a SmartSump basin with a Zoeller sump pump, and an UltraSump battery backup system. The crawlspace will be cleaned and disinfected by hand, followed by the installation of drainage matting, a full CleanSpace encapsulation system, and R-Tech rigid foam insulation with radiant barrier. Three dehumidifiers will run for 72 hours to dry the area; with sump discharge directed to a curb cut. Additional plumbing work is included as needed.
