Challenge

This Brown Mills, NJ homeowner was recently struggling with structural settlement issues located in their crawl space, they noticing that walls were beginning to slope and sink due to incessant decay. This issue was caused from a lack of proper insulation causing moisture to build up and overtime complete deterioration was beginning to set in. The owner decided it was finally time to resolve this issue efficiently and permanently.

Solution

After sending out our service technician Thomas, to extensively survey the property, he concluded which products were highly essential for supplying this owner with a reliable fix, specifically catered to their structural needs. Following this analysis our foreman Mario and his crew arrived at the home shortly after. The team began installing our heavy-duty insulating SilverGlo Panels, which consists of an insulated foam board with a reflective foil layer. SilverGlo is placed directly on the walls of the crawl space to provide thermal insulation. This helps to maintain a consistent temperature in the crawl space, reducing energy costs associated with heating and cooling. Its reflective surface also enhances the overall efficiency of the insulation. Next the crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, this thick, durable vapor barrier liner made of reinforced plastic, is installed on the floors and walls of a crawl space. It effectively seals out moisture and prevents the growth of mold and mildew. This product also contributes to energy savings by preventing heat loss through the crawl space. Lastly, the crew installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, this powerful system is the world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. With its small compact size, it takes up less space and easily fits in small crawl spaces. Altogether with these powerful systems in place, this owner can certifiably trust that, from this day forward, their crawl space is entirely safeguarded against future water intrusions and structural deterioration.
