Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Salt Lake City basement encapsulation project transformed a damp, exposed foundation space into a clean, protected environment using the CleanSpace vapor barrier system.

Before installation, the basement area showed visible moisture staining along the concrete foundation walls and exposed gravel flooring — common indicators of water intrusion and humidity buildup in Utah homes. Left untreated, these conditions can contribute to mold growth, musty odors, structural wood damage, and declining indoor air quality.

Our team at Davenport Foundation Repair installed the CleanSpace encapsulation system to fully seal the basement area. The durable vapor barrier was professionally secured along the walls and floor, creating a continuous moisture barrier that helps prevent groundwater vapor intrusion and humidity issues.

Basement encapsulation in Salt Lake City is especially important due to seasonal snowmelt and fluctuating moisture conditions along the Wasatch Front. CleanSpace helps protect foundations, improve energy efficiency, and create a healthier home environment.

If you’re experiencing basement moisture, humidity, or water intrusion in Salt Lake City or surrounding areas, Davenport Foundation Repair provides permanent waterproofing solutions designed for Utah homes.

The homeowner wanted a sump pump installed in their basement. Our crews installed a sump pump and CleanSpace Wall System to divert water out of the basement. A LawnScape Outlet was also installed to drain the water from the gutters away from the home.

This project showcases a crawl space encapsulation completed at a home in Park City, Utah, designed to protect the structure from excess moisture, cold air intrusion, and long-term foundation issues.

Before encapsulation, the crawl space had exposed soil and outdated vapor protection, allowing ground moisture to rise into the home. This can contribute to higher humidity levels, musty odors, cold floors, and potential wood rot or mold growth — especially in mountain climates like Park City where snowmelt and seasonal moisture are common.

After installation, the crawl space was fully sealed with a heavy-duty vapor barrier system, covering the ground and foundation walls to block moisture and improve overall air quality. Encapsulation helps regulate temperatures, protects floor joists and support beams, and improves energy efficiency by keeping cold air out during Utah’s long winters.

Crawl space encapsulation is an effective solution for homeowners in Park City looking to:

• Reduce moisture and humidity

• Prevent mold and wood decay

• Improve indoor air quality

• Increase comfort and energy efficiency

• Protect the home’s foundation long-term
