Damp Crawl Space
Persistent dampness in this crawl space was likely caused by a combination of poor drainage, inadequate ventilation, and high ground moisture.
Before Encapsulation
We had our System Design Specialist conduct a thorough inspection of the crawl space to accurately assess moisture sources, structural vulnerabilities, and existing drainage issues. This detailed evaluation is essential to developing a customized waterproofing strategy that addresses the root causes of water intrusion.
Drainage Matting
The crew installed our Drainage Matting in this crawl space to create a clear path for water to flow beneath the vapor barrier, preventing moisture buildup and directing it efficiently to the homeowner's drainage system.
Installing SilverGlo
SilverGlo Insulation Panels were installed by securely attaching them to the crawl space walls after ensuring the surface was clean and prepped. These panels are custom-fitted and sealed at the seams to create a continuous thermal barrier, reflecting heat back into the space and preventing outside air infiltration. This step is a key part of our encapsulation process, boosting energy efficiency from the ground up.
SilverGlo Insulation Panels
SilverGlo Insulation Panels provide superior thermal protection by reflecting radiant heat and offering an R-value that outperforms standard insulation.
During CleanSpace Install
In order to install our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, the crew started off by first leveling and clearing the floor of debris. They then carefully rolled out and trimmed the heavy-duty, 20-mil thick liner to fit the space, sealing all seams and anchoring it to the walls and piers.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
CleanSpace dramatically reduces humidity levels in the crawl space, helping to prevent mold growth, wood rot, and musty odors. This creates a cleaner, healthier environment beneath the home and helps preserve the structural integrity of floor joists and subflooring.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
By sealing the crawl space with CleanSpace, homeowners experience improved energy efficiency as less humid air rises into the home. This barrier contributes to lower heating and cooling costs while enhancing indoor air quality and overall comfort.
The Benefits Of Encapsulation
Encapsulating this homeowner's crawl space provides long-lasting protection against moisture, mold, and structural damage. This process not only improves indoor air quality and energy efficiency but also helps protect HVAC systems and ductwork, leading to a healthier, more comfortable, and cost-effective living environment!
