Madole Construction Before & After Photos

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 Northwest Reno home was facing serious structural issues, with the floor beneath a heavy fireplace completely rotted and failing to bear its weight. Our team stepped in to perform a full encapsulation and foundation repair, stabilizing the home and protecting it from further damage. The transformation was completed with brand-new siding, restoring both the safety and beauty of the property.

Take a look at this dramatic transformation! 👇

Our team, led by Larry and Austin, tackled a severely bowing basement wall with visible foundation cracks. The "before" shots show the damage—cracks, moisture, and structural compromise. The "after" images reveal a fully stabilized wall, reinforced with wall anchors, carbon fiber straps, 10” C-channel support, and protected with Xypex waterproofing for long-term durability.

This crawlspace started as a dirt-filled void—now it’s a clean, usable space. We removed the soil with a conveyor system, poured a concrete pad, installed an ICF retaining wall, and fully encapsulated the area above the retaining wall for long-term protection and storage efficiency.

This project showcases the transformation of a damp, leaky basement into a dry, protected space using our proven WaterGuard® drainage system. Before installation, water intrusion was evident along the basement perimeter. Our team expertly installed the WaterGuard® below-floor drainage channel to collect water and redirect it to a sump pump system. The final result is a clean, dry basement ready for safe storage or future finishing.
