Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Haskell Crawl Space Encapsulated for a Healthier Home

When his damp crawl space started taking on water and developed a mustly smell, the homeowner in Haskell tried to deal with the the problem by laying down plastic sheeting. Water still pooled under and on top of the sheeting and it did nothing prevent the musty smell. A neighbor told him about crawl space encapsulation and what a great job Quality 1st did for them. This Haskell homeowner called for a free estimate. Basement and Crawl Space Design Specialist, Ron Michaels, inspected the crawl space and explained the benefits of encapsulation. Encapsulating separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean, dry, and free of vermin. Adding TerraBlock, ¾" of foam insulation, and SilverGlo, a 2"-thick insulation with radiant barrier, would both insulate and reflect heat back into the crawl space. This would make the whole home more energy efficient. Foreman Juan Garcia brought the Quality 1st Crawl Space Encapsulation crew to Haskell and they went right to work encapsulating the crawlspace. Now this home is healthier and more energy efficient. The homeowner is very happy he called Quality 1st Basement Systems.

Rain Leaks into Crawl Space

Rain leaked into this Haskell crawl space causing a musty smell. The homeower worried about mold and vermin. He called Quality 1st for a free estimate to put an end to this damp, smelly nightmare.

Evidence of Water in Crawl Space

Water stains are visible on the walls and floors of this Haskell crawl space.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

The plastic sheeting the homeowner put down in his crawl space did nothing to prevent water from leaking into the basement.

Signs of a Wet Crawl Space

Drooping insulation is caused by water vapor. The dampness gets into the insulation and makes it heavy. The walls show stains where water has seeped in and dampness can be seen under the plastic. These damp, wet places in the crawl space are a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

Haskell Crawl Space Problems

The uncovered beams in this wet crawl space will absorb the moisture and, over time, could begin to rot and compromise the structural integrity of the home.

Crawl Space Flooding in Haskell

The walls of this Haskell crawl space show where the water has been seeping in over time.

SilverGlo Radiant Barrier in Haskell

Tiny graphite particles permeate SilverGlo's foam insulation to give it a silver/gray shine. These tiny particles reflect heat and help to keep the crawl space, and whole home, warmer.

Crawl Space Repair in Haskell

This Haskell crawl space is fully encapsulated with TerraBlock insulation on the floor, SilverGlo radiant barrier on the walls and the CleanSpace liner. This is now a healthy home.
