Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Hendersonville, TN
This homeowner in Hendersonville, TN, was experiencing the ill effects of a crawl space that had not been encapsulated, such as cold floors in the living areas of the home. When our crew arrived at the sight, they got to work removing the old, ineffective vapor barrier. After removing the barrier, we rolled out drainage matting to create a cushion underneath the new CleanSpace vapor barrier. The drainage matting will also help move water droplets under the vapor barrier out of the crawl space. To keep heat in and cold out, our team installed SilverGlo insulated paneling along the walls of the crawl space. A TripleSafe sump pump system was also installed in the event of flooding, as it is designed to remove large quantities of water. Now, this crawl space is protected from water damage and insulated from the cold.
