Photo Album: Crawl Space Repair in Hampstead, NC

After seeing one of our online ads, a Hampstead, NC homeowner contacted our office to schedule a free crawl space repair inspection and quote.Jeremie G., one of our crawl space experts, was scheduled to conduct the inspection.   Jeremie discovered high levels of moisture as well as insulation falling from the ceiling, a musty smell, and a discolored and rusted crawl space door when assessing the space. These signs point to a moisture problem in the crawl space, which can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and other issues. These issues can worsen with time, so it's important to assess the extent of the damage and take steps to resolve it. Jeremie built a customized solution to keep this crawl space free of mold and moisture after the inspection was complete. The homeowner felt confident that our team of professionals would solve their issues for good after discussing the inspection findings and installation process. Using only the highest quality crawl space repair products, Jeremie decided that the most effective solution was to encapsulate the crawl space. Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing off the crawl space from the outdoors with a heavy-duty liner and insulation, preventing moisture and humidity from entering the space. This creates an airtight barrier that eliminates the chances of mold and mildew growth, while also making it easier to regulate the temperature and humidity levels in the crawl space. The crew removed and disposed of the wet and damaged insulation that was falling from the ceiling onto the crawl space floor. By doing this, they could check for additional problems caused by moisture in the crawl space. The crew sealed any open cracks around the joists or door to prevent air leaks and protect the space from moisture. This is necessary because moisture can cause mold growth, rotting wood, and other damage that can compromise the structural integrity of the crawl space. Additionally, moisture can lead to unhealthy air quality, which can be hazardous to the home and family. Over the crawl space walls, SilverGlo crawl space insulation was installed. With SilverGlo, moisture cannot be absorbed, and it is 100% inorganic, so mold growth cannot occur. CleanSpace vapor barrier liner and drainage matting were then installed throughout the crawl space floor. Keeping your crawl space dry with a liner and matting is very important, but it's equally important to drain away any flooded water that accumulates underneath. The CleanSpace crawl space liner prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through walls and floors. Maintaining a dry crawl space protects your structure and insulation from mold and rot. As one of the final steps in this crawl space repair, the rusted crawl space door was replaced with an EverLast crawl space door.
