Our team replaced this crawl space door that had a built-in open vent with our EverLast Door to permanently stop moisture from leaking in.
This Saint Augustine, Florida crawl space was suffering from excess moisture, exposed wiring, and an outdated, ineffective vapor barrier. These conditions not only jeopardized the home's structural integrity but also created an ideal environment for mold growth and poor indoor air quality.
Our team solved these issues with a full encapsulation system. We installed the UltraSump® 4 Battery Backup Sump Pump System to reliably remove any groundwater intrusion even during power outages. Paired with that, we added the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier, one of the most efficient crawl space dehumidifiers on the market, to regulate humidity and protect against mold and wood rot. A new heavy-duty vapor barrier was also laid down to fully seal the space from the earth.
Now this crawl space is dry, energy-efficient, and protected creating a healthier home from the ground up.
Pierce R. from St. Augustine, FL was dealing with a damp, neglected crawl space that was starting to affect his home’s air quality and energy efficiency. The before photo shows a cluttered, dirty liner that allowed moisture and allergens to seep into the home. You can even see signs of insulation breakdown and potential water intrusion along the walls.
Our team stepped in with a full crawl space encapsulation system sealing off every inch with a durable vapor barrier. In the after photo, the space is fully sealed, clean, and dry, helping to eliminate musty odors and block future mold growth.
Now, Pierce can breathe easier knowing the air in his home is healthier and his foundation is better protected against Florida’s high humidity. A cleaner crawl space means a stronger, more energy-efficient home.
This Saint Augustine home was showing clear signs of foundation settlement horizontal and stair-step cracks running along the stucco siding and chimney, combined with visible discoloration at the base of the wall due to moisture accumulation. The symptoms suggested long-term structural shifting likely caused by unstable soil conditions.
To solve the issue, we installed helical piers at critical points along the foundation to permanently stabilize and lift the structure. The second image shows one of the helical piers anchored deep beneath the home, reaching load-bearing strata to provide long-term support. This method not only prevents further settling but also protects the home's structural integrity and value. Another successful save by the Sunshine Foundation team!
This Saint Augustine home was experiencing water pooling near the garage, creating risks of concrete damage and foundation stress. The before photo shows the area prepared with rebar reinforcement and a drainage channel set in place to tackle the issue. After carefully pouring and finishing the new concrete, the sleek channel drain is now fully integrated into the driveway. This solution ensures rainwater is properly directed away from the garage, protecting the home and providing a smooth, long-lasting finish.
