Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulation in Nashville, TN

A home in Nashville, Tennessee, was grappling with pervasive musty odors infiltrating the living space, stemming from elevated humidity levels in the crawl space. During our inspection, we measured the relative humidity at a concerning 87%, indicative of a conducive environment for mold growth and moisture-related issues. Our comprehensive solution involves encapsulating the crawl space and installing a powerful dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels to a target of under 55%. The discovery of mold growth underscores the importance of addressing the root causes, which often include inadequate ventilation and moisture intrusion. To mitigate these issues, our team will wrap the walls and foundation pillars, install drainage matting, and apply a durable CleanSpace liner, 20 mil thick, over the matting to create a moisture barrier completely sealed from the ground.

Humidity Alert

The relative humidity level registers a concerning 87%, signaling an environment ripe for mold proliferation and moisture-related challenges.

Mold Infestation

Mold growth such as this occurs due to prolonged exposure to excessive moisture, inadequate ventilation, and organic materials serving as ideal breeding grounds.

Drainage Matting

The primary function of drainage matting is to create an airspace between the ground and the encapsulation layer, allowing moisture to drain away from the crawl space rather than accumulate.
