Original Crawl Space
The original crawl space of a home is depicted, emanating musty odors indicative of underlying moisture issues. The dimly lit space hints at the hidden problems beneath the surface, urging for timely intervention to restore freshness and maintain a healthy indoor environment.
Fallen Insulation
The fallen insulation and significant moisture build-up are starkly evident within the confines of a crawl space. The damp environment not only compromises the effectiveness of insulation but also fosters conditions conducive to mold growth and structural damage.
High Wood Moisture
The wood moisture content within the inspected area registers alarmingly high at 17.7%. This precise measurement serves as a vital indicator of potential moisture-related issues, underscoring the imperative for proactive intervention to prevent structural degradation and maintain optimal indoor conditions.
Drainage Matting
Comprised of dimpled material, this layer of Drainage Matting serves as the vanguard against moisture intrusion beneath the home. Its strategic placement not only facilitates effective water drainage but also lays the groundwork for a fortified crawl space environment.
CleanSpace Liner
The CleanSpace Liner, a formidable barrier measuring 20 mil in thickness, is prominently displayed atop the drainage matting. This strategic combination creates a robust defense system against moisture intrusion beneath the home, ensuring a dry and protected crawl space environment for years to come.
Vents Secured with SilverGlo
The vents in the crawl space are expertly sealed with SilverGlo insulation, effectively blocking external airflow. This crucial step is essential to prevent moisture-laden air from infiltrating the crawl space. By sealing the vents, the crawl space maintains a controlled environment, minimizing the risk of moisture buildup, mold growth, and structural damage.
CleanSpace
The CleanSpace Liner is installed to combat moisture and humidity within the crawl space. It serves as a reliable barrier, effectively reducing moisture infiltration from the ground and creating a sealed environment. This comprehensive approach not only safeguards against mold and mildew growth but also promotes optimal air quality and structural integrity.
New EverLast Door
The installation of a new EverLast Door for the crawl space, crafted from airtight 1/2-inch-thick PVC plastic. The sturdy construction of the door ensures a tight seal, effectively preventing air and moisture intrusion into the crawl space. This vital addition enhances the overall insulation and integrity of the crawl space, contributing to improved energy efficiency and protection against moisture-related issues.
