Original Crawl Space
The original crawl space where our expert identified high levels of humidity, posing a threat to various items stored here. Excessive moisture can lead to mold growth, mildew, and damage to both the stored belongings and the home's structural integrity.
Unencapsulated Crawl Space
Musty odors in such spaces occur due to high humidity levels, which create an ideal environment for mold and mildew growth. The lack of proper sealing allows moisture to seep in from the ground and outside air, exacerbating the problem and leading to unpleasant smells and potential damage to stored items.
Wrapping Walls and Foundation Pillars
The first step in the encapsulation process, where our experts wrap the walls and foundation pillars with our CleanSpace Liner. This preparation is essential for ensuring a dry and protected crawl space environment.
CleanSpace Liner Over Drainage Matting
The CleanSpace Liner being installed over drainage matting. The combination of the liner and drainage matting effectively reduces humidity levels, preventing musty odors and protecting stored items from potential moisture damage.
Reducing Moisture and Humidity
The CleanSpace Liner, 20 mils thick, significantly reduces moisture and humidity in the crawl space. The thick liner acts as a robust barrier, preventing ground moisture from seeping in, while the drainage matting ensures proper water flow away from the space, maintaining a dry and protected environment.
Sealed from Ground
The CleanSpace Liner, which is completely sealed from the ground. The installation creates a continuous barrier, effectively isolating the crawl space from ground moisture. This sealing process is crucial for maintaining a dry and humidity-free environment, protecting both the structural integrity of the home and any stored items.
Vents Sealed with SilverGlo
Having open vents in a crawl space can lead to various issues. Firstly, it allows moisture-laden air from the outside to enter, increasing humidity levels and promoting mold and mildew growth. Additionally, open vents can result in energy inefficiency as they allow conditioned air to escape, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Sealing the vents with SilverGlo helps prevent these problems, creating a more controlled and energy-efficient crawl space environment.
SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier
The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier is designed to regulate humidity levels in the crawl space. With its capability to bring down humidity levels to 55%, this dehumidifier plays a crucial role in creating an optimal environment for storing items. By maintaining lower humidity levels, the SaniDry Sedona helps prevent mold growth, mildew, and moisture damage to stored belongings, ensuring a dry and healthy crawl space environment.
Ready for Storage
The encapsulated crawl space, now fully prepared and optimized for storage. Following encapsulation procedures, including the installation of moisture barriers, insulation, and humidity control systems, the crawl space is transformed into a dry, clean, and protected environment. With musty odors eliminated and humidity levels regulated, the encapsulated crawl space offers an ideal storage solution, ensuring the safety and preservation of stored items for years to come.
