The silver strip across the top of the foundation walls is what we call the "Ries Piece." It is a solution developed by our production team to ensure we always have a clear viewing strip when applying spray foam insulation to the crawl space walls, for pest control companies per VA building code.
CleanSpace is a heavy-duty vapor barrier durable enough to be crawled on by service personnel. All the seams are overlapped and taped and fastened to the walls 6-8 inches above outside grade and all piers are wrapped. CleanSpace seals the earth off from the crawl space.
The paper backing of fiberglass insulation is like candy for mold. As moisture is trapped in the crawl space and relative humidity rises, along with warm temperatures, mold and mildew begin to grow on organic materials such as the backing of insulation and wood floor joists.
Mold and mildew have grown on many of the wooden floor joists of this crawl space. Mold will form on any organic materials within the crawl space when the relative humidity hovers around or above 60% during warmer temperatures. Mold spores will rise into the home above, and some health issues, such as asthma and irritation, can arise from extended exposure to mold spores
Mold and mildew have formed along the floor joists of this crawl space. This can occur on organic materials of the crawl space when the relative humidity reaches over 60% during warmer temperatures. Musty odors and mold spores can reach the floors above and irritate those with allergies and asthma. The fiberglass insulation batts are also damp with moisture, which can pull the fibers apart and cause the fiberglass to fall out of place in chunks.
Mold and mildew have formed on many of the wooden floor joists within this crawl space. Mold growth can occur on any organic material so long as the relative humidity reaches around 60% during warmer temperatures. Musty odors and mold spores often find their way up into the home and irritate those with allergies and asthma.
There were many areas of the crawl space where mold and mildew had formed on the organic materials, such as the wooden floor joists. Mold growth in the crawl space can occur during warmer temperatures when the relative humidity reaches over 60%. The musty odors can rise into the home above and irritate those with allergies and asthma.
Most homes with a crawl space are home to utility lines. In a vented crawl space, water pipes freeze in the winter and duct lines are exposed to heat in the summer warming up the conditioned air traveling through the ducts, the reverse occurs in the winter. Condensation occurs on pipes in duct lines
