Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Huntsville, AL
A homeowner in Huntsville, AL, reached out to Frontier Foundation & Crawl Space Repair for a thorough evaluation of their crawl space. Upon inspection, our technician discovered an aged vapor barrier that inadequately covered only a portion of the area, leaving the remaining ground exposed to moisture. This oversight resulted in moisture-related issues, including the growth of mold and accumulation of mud on the ineffective barrier. Additionally, signs of water damage were evident on the crawl space walls. Our recommendation includes a comprehensive solution comprising a new CleanSpace vapor barrier, drainage matting, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a sump pump system. Implementing these measures will effectively address moisture concerns, mitigate mold growth, and prevent wood rot in the crawl space, ultimately creating a more conducive living environment for the homeowner.
