Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Decatur, AL
The homeowner from Decatur, AL, contacted Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for an evaluation of their home's crawl space. Upon arrival, our technician commenced the inspection and discovered an older vapor barrier and crawl space dehumidifier. Notably, only a section of the crawl space was shielded by the barrier, leaving the remainder exposed to dampness. This exposed area led to moisture-related issues such as damp wood, mold growth, and sagging insulation. To rectify this, we proposed a comprehensive encapsulation solution, including a new CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Implementing these measures will effectively mitigate moisture, mold, and wood decay, enhancing the overall comfort of the residence.
