This customer asked for a crawlspace encapsulation. The crew removed the old vapor barrier and any debris and were able to successfully complete the encapsulation. Crawl space encapsulation refers to the addition of a heavy-duty moisture barrier to the dirt floor of your crawl space, sealed foundation vents, insulated walls, and special crawl space dehumidifier(s).
Here is a before and after of a crawlspace encapsulation in the Red Rock area. These customers were having issues with mice in their insulation. Now with a fully sealed and encapsulated crawlspace, there home will be mice FREE from here on out!
Removing your old, worn out vapor barrier and installing a drain matt is the first step in the CleanSpace System. While a traditional vapor barrier lasts and averadge of 7 years, a drain mat will last a lifetime. Its more durable than a 6 mil vapor barrier and its also secured down so that it stays in place.
This crawlspace was submerged in water for months. Madole installed two temporary sump pumps to deter the water out of the crawlspace to start the CleanSpace encapsulation. Before picture you can see the mud and rubble created in the crawlspace from the water damage. Our crew dug trenches along with the pumps to dry out the crawlspace in order to put down the CleanSpace material to start the encapsulation. The after picture, you can see the crew successfully laid down the CleanSpace material and was able to dry out the crawlspace. Our CleanSpace encapsulation process for this job includes dehumidifiers to regulate the moisture/humidity in the crawlspace as well as SmartSumps to notify the home owner of any water that may be in the crawlspace one the encapsulation is complete.
