Ridding a Crawl Space from Moisture in Bolivia, NC

Thursday, September 26th, 2019 by Mary White

Challenge

Allen contacted Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair due to falling insulation and a musty odor coming from the crawl space of his home. Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair inspector Brannon met with Allen to go over the crawl space and to find the best solution for his issues. Brannon found that the crawl space was experiencing classic symptoms of moisture damage caused by high humidity and water vapor coming into the home from the earth's ground. Brannon recommended that Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair install the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System.

Solution

Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair crew lead by Miguel installed the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. They began the project by removing the old insulation and removing all debris from the area. Next, they installed the SilverGlo Insulation Panels and insulate the crawl space and then wrapped the piers and installed the CleanSpace 10 mil Liner along with installing the Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the crawl space nice and dry.

Project Summary

Installing Contractor: Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair

System Design Specialist: Brannon Walters

Installing Crew Foreman: Miguel Perez Velazquez

BEFORE: The crawl space had a plastic sheet on the ground that allowed moisture to enter the home since the crawl space was not completely sealed from the earth's ground.

BEFORE: Damaged fiberglass insulation that was caused by moisture issues in the crawl space.

AFTER: The crawl space was completely encapsulated with the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System. The CleanSpace System protects the crawl space from moisture intrusion that can cause wood damage and other issues in the crawl space of the home.

AFTER: By using the SilverGlo Insulation Panels is a perfect choice for insulating the crawl space of the home. By applying the SilverGlo Insulation Panels to the foundation walls we move the home's thermal boundary to the foundation walls, which make the home more comfortable and the HVAC in the crawl space more efficient.

AFTER: After installing the CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, Southeast Foundation & Crawl Space Repair can prevent many problems that are caused by excessive moisture like mold, mildew, wood rot, corrosion, poor indoor air quality and insect and pest problems.
