Old Insulation

OId, dirty insulation is a sponge for water and mold. Critters also find it very inviting.

Water in the Block

The plastic liner has not held its place very well. We can see evidence of water in the area; both on the plastic as well as along the block wall.

Moisture in the Wood

Joist with high moisture content is the perfect breeding ground for mold.

Lots of Outside Debris

This is a shorter crawl space but we see a lot of debris inside. There is not much here separating the home above from the outside below. The crawl space door is not preventing leaves or other things from getting inside.

Water Drainage System

Installing a water drainage system along the foundation will collect and drain water away protecting the foundation from settlement and standing water in the crawl space.

Drainage Matting

Our DeltaMatting is dimpled so that ground water can still flow and prevent any pooling under the liner.

Vapor Barrier

CleanSpace is our 20mil, 7-layer liner that creates a barrier from the earth below.

Beautiful and Clean

Easy Access

Utilities are also easy to access and much more pleasant job in an encapsulated crawl space. Checking pipes or other utilities just got a little cleaner.
