Damp Crawl Space Repair in Highland Lakes, NJ
Challenge
A homeowner in Highland Lakes, NJ, noticed their crawl space was persistently damp and humid. This moisture problem created several concerns: the risk of mold and mildew growth, potential wood rot, and the degradation of insulation materials. The excess humidity led to musty odors and negatively impacted indoor air quality, making the home less comfortable and increasing energy bills due to reduced insulation efficiency.
Solution
Our System Design Specialist, Frank, provided an inspection and suggested encapsulating the crawl space. We installed the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System and a SaniDry Dehumidifier to tackle the moisture issues. CleanSpace effectively sealed the crawl space from the earth's elements. SaniDry maintained the humidity levels, preventing further moisture in the space. With these systems combined, it eliminated the damp conditions, preventing mold and wood damage. It also improved indoor air quality and enhanced energy efficiency by maintaining proper humidity levels. As a result, the homeowner experienced a healthier living environment and reduced energy costs!
