Fiberglass Insulation Falling Apart
Here you can see that the fiberglass insulation has fallen apart and is sagging. Moisture entering the crawl space is most likely the culprit that caused this to happen. When it gets wet, it loses its R-value and is prone to growing mold.
Crawl Space was Being Used for Storage
This homeowner was using his crawl space to store his belongings, which makes doing the encapsulation even more important. An encapsulated crawl space ensures that moisture or mold will not ruin your prized possessions.
Encapsulation Has Begun
Our team placed our CleanSpace Encapsulation on the floor and the walls of this crawl space to seal it off and prevent moisture from coming inside. This 20-mil reinforced liner is extremely durable and does not support mold or mildew growth.
The Encapsulation Process is Complete
Now the homeowner can use this crawl space to store his belongings inside without any worry or stress. The space has been totally transformed into a bright and clean space, the opposite of what it looked like before.
Exposed Vent & Rim Joists Have Been Sealed
We sealed off this exposed vent using our CleanSpace Vent Cover. It's insulated, will never rot, and provides an airtight seal against the unconditioned outside air. We also used orange foam insulation to seal off the rim joists and prevent air from leaking in that way as well.
