Encapsulating A Dirt Crawl Space in New Paltz, NY

A homeowner in New Paltz, NY needed their crawl space to be encapsulated and sealed off from the earth. Pools of water could be seen in different areas throughout the crawl space. The dirt floor inside this crawl space had also turned into a muddy mess. It was clear that something needed to be done. After conducting an inspection, our specialist proposed installing our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, drainage matting, and SilverGlo insulation. Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System is the perfect solution for sealing off crawl spaces from the earth. This 20-mil reinforced polymer liner acts as a vapor barrier and prevents water vapor from coming up through the floor and into the crawl space. It is made with multiple layers of plastic, is resistant to tearing, is super durable, and does not support mold growth. The drainage matting gets placed underneath, enhancing the durability and longevity of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System. It too helps to form a seal over a leaking crawl space floor such as this one. 

The SilverGlo insulation helps to stop air leaks from happening and cannot be damaged by moisture. Unlike fiberglass, this rigid foam insulation will not absorb water and fall apart either. 

With all these products installed, this crawl space went from being a wet and muddy mess to a dry and healthy environment!
