Crawl Space Encapsulation/Remediation
This crawl space suffered from significant moisture damage. We removed the old floor insulation and debris. We then blocked the crawl space vents and installed a dehumidifier to begin drying out the space. Once the space was dried out, we treated the framing and subfloor for mold.
After removal and remediation was done, we installed a new 12mm vapor barrier liner throughout the crawl space floor and lower foundation wall. We insulated the foundation walls and exterior floor joists to current code levels using foam board insulation. A sump pump was utilized in case of a leak or other water emergency.
This crawl space has been transformed from a dark, smelly area that was the source of damage to other components of the home, to a clean storage space that promotes the health and durability of the home and the people who live in it. The household bills will be greatly reduced by improving the insulation and converting the area where the furnace and ducts are located from "out in the cold" to an insulated space.
