With puddles and high humidity concerns, this homes crawl space was in need of a serious upgrade. To get it fixed up and cared for over the coming years, a full encapsulation system was accepted and scheduled. To begin we cleared the space out, removing the old fiberglass, vapor barrier, and other miscellaneous debris. We than installed a full drainage system with a sump pump. These systems work together to collect and direct water safely out and away from the homes foundation. We than install TerraBlock along the dirt floor, providing insulation. Over this we install CleanSpace, a 20 Mil thick woven vapor barrier that is backed with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. To address the humidity a SaniDry dehumidifier is installed, and we than complete the spaces insulation using spray foam along the foundation walls.
This old vapor barrier had crusted on mud. The space hadn't been checked in years, and the homeowners wanted a solution that could keep up with their waterproofing needs. To address this we installed a full crawlspace encapsulation.
If water gets on top of a vapor barrier, it ends up defeating the purpose, the homeowner knew their crawlspace needed a full encapsulation to keep it waterproofed.
This homeowner called us when they had concerns about the standing water that was evident in their crawlspace. They were interested in a sump pump and new vapor barrier. After the inspection, some wood rot was pointed out, and we discussed encapsulation to protect their home. They were excited to get their home dry and healthy, protecting it in the long run!
