Afterward, we installed a vapor barrier, which is a heavy-duty, 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with a polyester-cord reinforcement.
Next, we placed several measuring sticks throughout the attic to ensure that the proper amount of R-value is added to the attic. Afterward, we air sealed all the gaps and cracks in the attic. This will eliminate air flow between the living space and the attic, improving energy efficiency.
As you can see, the crawl space was a bit messy and dirty.
First, we removed all the debris, leveled the ground for proper draining, and installed a drainage matting. A drainage matting is a dimpled plastic mat that allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the newly installed SmartSump™ Crawl Space Sump Pump. Afterward, we installed a vapor barrier.
Next, we installed a vapor barrier, which is a heavy-duty, 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene with a polyester-cord reinforcement. It cannot tear and is extremely durable.
The next thing we did was install ComfortTherm® Insulation throughout the crawl space. ComfortTherm® Insulation is poly-encapsulated and is ideal for moisture-rich crawl space environments. The insulation also helps to preserve the air quality, reduce energy costs, provide excellent temperature and noise control, and comes with a vapor-retarder for use in hot, humid climates. Next, we installed a vapor barrier.
Finally we added approximately 12 inches TruSoft blown-in cellulose insulation throughout the attic. Trusoft blown-in cellulose insulation fills the attic to its recommended insulation levels, has the highest Class-1 fire safety rating, is resistant to mold and pests, is eco-friendly, maximizes home comfort, and optimizes energy usage for year-round peace and savings for the homeowner!
First, we removed all of the old fiberglass insulation, as well as other items, and properly disposed of them. Afterward, we then disinfected the entire attic.
