This crawl space had high humidity levels before we came and installed our encapsulation system. We installed our CleanSpace liner all over the floor and walls, making sure to wrap around piers and any other obstacles. We also installed SilverGlo insulation panels along the walls, which are highly efficient at retaining heat. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to make sure the humidity levels stay extremely low.
This crawl space was just over two feet, and although short in stature, the lumber parts had rotted to the point of no return. You can see in the before picture just how nasty it had become from moisture issues. After replacing the lumber parts to maintain the integrity of the structure, we then encapsulated the crawl space to prevent the new wooden parts from falling victim to the same fate. Seen in the after picture is a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, a SmartSump sump pump attached with an UltraSump 4 battery backup, CleanSpace Liner, and SilverGlo insulation panels tucked behind the CleanSpace. This crawl space won't have to worry about further deterioration from moisture issues for a very long time.
This crawl space was a mess with a lot of moisture issues. The moisture issues were causing a foul smell and were deteriorating the crawl space slowly. We installed our Clean Space matting and drainage all over the entire crawl space. We also installed a SuperSump sump pump and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to eliminate all wetness in the crawl space. We also sprayed anabec mold cleaner all over the crawl space before we started the install.
Moisture in your crawl space can completely incapacitate your insulation. Moisture can also eat away at your wooden parts of your crawl space if not eliminated. When we encapsulated this crawl space with our CleanSpace barrier and our SilverGlo insulation, the moisture was eliminated and the insulation capacity was increased significantly.
This crawl space originally had a plastic vapor barrier that was dusty, dirty, and porous. With the CleanSpace Encapsulation System installed, the crawl space is now clean and dry!
