Damp Crawl Space
Damp crawl space conditions are typically caused by excess moisture from water seepage, poor drainage, or high humidity levels. Heavy rainfall, flooding, or improper grading around the foundation can allow water to enter, while inadequate ventilation and lack of a vapor barrier can trap moisture, creating the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and wood rot to thrive.
Before Encapsulation
In order to determine the most effective waterproofing approach, our System Design Specialist conducts an extensive inspection on the crawl space.
Installing Drainage Matting
Our crew carefully lays out our Drainage Matting across the crawl space floors, with its unique raised dimple design we ensure that water can easily travel towards the homeowners designated drainage system, ultimately guaranteeing that we avoid pooling and further moisture buildup.
Installing SilverGlo
Installing our SilverGlo Insulation Panels involves first measuring and cutting the panels to fit the specific dimensions of the crawl space. The panels are then securely attached to walls or foundation surfaces, creating an effective thermal barrier.
The Benefits Of SilverGlo
With their radiant barrier technology, our SilverGlo Panels help to reflect heat, enhancing energy efficiency and maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature while also preventing moisture buildup.
Installing CleanSpace
Our crew begins installing our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System by preparing the space by clearing debris and ensuring a dry surface. The heavy-duty, puncture-resistant barrier is then carefully laid across the entire area, sealing the ground and foundation walls to prevent moisture intrusion. Seams are tightly sealed, and the barrier is secured, creating a continuous, protective layer.
The Benefits Of Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation offers a range of benefits, including moisture control, improved air quality, and enhanced energy efficiency. By sealing the area with a vapor barrier, it prevents water intrusion, reduces humidity, and keeps mold and pests at bay. This results in a healthier home environment, lower energy costs, and protection against structural damage caused by excess moisture!
