Before & After Photos

One of the most important steps in any crawl space projects, is the last step.  That step is closing the door or access point to the crawl space to keep it sealed off and safe from outdoor air and temperatures.  Closing off vents and covering the walls of a crawl space is almost useless if the door or access point to the crawl space isnt properly sealed and continues to allow dust, allergens and moisture to come inside.  We offer this great Everlast Door as a solution.  Here we replaced an old, dry rotting wooden door that has clear signs of many tears of weather exposure, for an Everlast Door made from long lasting materials that will not rust, rot or decay.  With multiple latching points, the Everlast Door helps create the tightest seal possible.  

This Reston VA home had falling insulation that was failing to properly insulate the rooms and living space above from the uncontrolled environment of the crawl space.  The walls of the crawl space were not insulated and there vents allowing outdoor air to move freely in and out of the crawl space.  This external air can bring dust and allergens that can impact the air quality inside of the home.  Our Production Team Leader Carlos directed his team in removing the existing insulation before sealing up the vents to the crawl space and using spray foam to insulate the walls.  This turns the crawl space into a controlled environment with no influence from outside air temperatures.  It all makes the air quality in the home better and helps to reduce the energy costs for the homeowner.  

A properly encapsulated crawl space can not only allow for more usage options in the space, but it can help improve the air quality in the home along with reducing energy costs.  this crawl space in Reston VA was musty, dirty and uncontrolled, allowing outside air and allergens to come in through the open vents.  Sealing off the space, insulating the walls and covering the dirt floor with multiple layers of Clean Space helped to make this a controlled environment with better air quality and a much more appealing visual.  

This Reston VA crawl space needed an upgrade.  The crawl space was vented and had insulation that did not work.  The existing bat insulation was coming loose from the crawl space ceiling and falling to the dirt floor below.  The walls of the crawl space were untreated and allowing moisture/wetness to enter the area.  This lead to a musty smell in the crawl space which worked its way into the air above in the living spaces of the home.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Jason came to do a full home inspection and identified the solution to help solve all of those problems.  Jason advised that the homeowner to have the existing insulation removed and then to use our Clean Space service to cover the dirt floors and walls of the crawl space.  Clean Space includes Terra Block matting below to allow for the flow or air and moisture but keeps it from entering the air of the home above.  Once Clean Space was installed the walls were insulated with spray foam and the vents were sealed up.  Spray Foam was also used to seal up the rim joists in the crawl space, eliminating the opportunity for external air and temperatures to impact the environment inside of the crawl space.  This would all lead to improved air quality and reduced energy costs for the home.  

This Fairfax VA homeowner wanted to get their crawl space upgraded.  They had excessive moisture which had lead to mildew and mold in parts of the crawl space.  Open vents to outside were allowing air, dust and allergens to come in from outside and were making the air quality of the home poor.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Jason visited and was able to identify the right products and services to help improve things.  Our production crew removed the old insulation, plastic floor covering and other dirty materials.  They sprayed the space with a botanical cleaner to prevent mold growth, covered the floors with Clean Space, covered the walls with Silver Glo insulation panels, air sealed the panels using Zyp Foam and then used Spray Foam to seal and insulate the rim joists of the home.
