Before & After Photos

Before encapsulation, a home in Erin, TN, undergoing renovations faced severe consequences due to moisture and high humidity in the crawl space. The relative humidity (RH%) and wood moisture content were alarmingly high, posing a significant threat to the structural integrity of the home. Walls and foundation pillars were wrapped, drainage matting was installed, and a 20-mil thick CleanSpace Liner was applied over the matting to seal the crawl space completely from the ground, reducing moisture and humidity levels significantly. These extensive measures not only resolved the moisture issues but also restored the structural integrity of the home, fostering a healthier living environment.

A farm home in Thompson's Station, TN faced high humidity issues in its crawl space, putting both the structure and occupants' health at risk. Recognizing the urgency of addressing these concerns to prevent mold, wood rot, and indoor air quality deterioration, the homeowners sought a solution. Upon inspection, our experts recommended encapsulation. We began by installing Drainage Matting to effectively manage moisture, followed by laying a durable CleanSpace Liner to create a sealed barrier against ground moisture. Sealing vents with SilverGlo insulation was crucial in reducing humidity by preventing outside air infiltration. To handle excess water, even in freezing conditions, we installed a Triple Safe Sump Pump, IceGuard, and a drainage system. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was added to maintain optimal humidity levels in the crawl space. This comprehensive solution not only remedied existing issues but also ensured the long-term health and durability of the home. For those seeking similar peace of mind, proactive home improvement measures are highly recommended.
