Improper Door
While common, crawl space doors like this one fail to properly seal the space from moist air infiltration. Furthermore, metal or wood doors are susceptible to rust and rot, leading to inevitable deterioration. Our team recommends upgrading to the EverLast Crawl Space Door, an airtight replacement that won't require painting and will stand the test of time!
Unsealed Vents
Crawl space vents are an outdated "solution" for drying out crawl spaces and have never been effective. Instead, these vents provide entry points for moisture and pests. Our team recommends sealing these vents with our airtight crawl space covers to keep your space dry and critter-free.
Hanging Insulation
Insulation between your floor joists is highly absorbent and can become heavy when saturated with moisture from your crawl space. This added weight causes the insulation to sag and tear, rendering it ineffective. Moreover, this moisture-laden insulation acts like a sponge, significantly increasing the likelihood of mold and mildew growth.
Mold Spores
The black dots along the floor joists indicate the presence of mold and mildew, highlighting an urgent need to dry out the space. Since half of the air you breathe in your home comes from the crawl space, these mold signs pose a serious health hazard and can exacerbate asthma and allergy symptoms.
Drainage Matting & CleanSpace Walls
After removing all the insulation from between the floor joists, our experts began the encapsulation process by installing drainage matting and CleanSpace walls. The vapor barrier on the walls prevents mold and mildew growth while keeping condensation from seeping into the crawl space. The drainage matting underneath the floor vapor barrier ensures that water won't get trapped below, promoting a dry and healthy environment.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
Next, the CleanSpace vapor barrier is expertly installed along the crawl space floor. This crucial step prevents water vapor and humidity from the groundwater, creating a dry environment. Made from a 20-mil reinforced liner, it comes with a 25-year warranty and features a mold-resistant additive for added protection.
SaniDry Sedona
The SaniDry Sedona is the perfect finishing touch for your encapsulation! Compact yet powerful, this dehumidifier fits easily in most crawl spaces while effectively removing up to 100 pints of moisture from the air daily. Energy-efficient, it ensures that your home enjoys dry, clean air.
