Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Huntsville, AL
This homeowner in Huntsville, AL, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair to inspect their home's crawl space. Once inside, our technician discovered mold, standing water, and wood rot. An older vapor barrier as well as random debris were strewn throughout the crawl space. Muddy puddles of standing water could also be found throughout the crawl space. We recommended a complete encapsulation of the crawl space. Adding a CleanSpace vapor barrier would keep moisture out of the crawl space. A crawl space dehumidifier would also keep humidity levels down. The crawl space vents should also be sealed off with our SilverGlo insulation panels.
