CrawlSpace Encapsulation in Columbus, Ohio
This Jeffersonville, OH crawl space was in need of SmartJacks, drainage matting, and CleanSpace capor barrier, the super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material that's designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from getting into the crawl space. Our crew installed it all right away!
Years of water seepage had damaged the structure of these block walls and started to form cracks. We stabilized them by installing carbon fiber strips along the wall and holding it tight. Then, we covered the wall with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier.
This homeowner had an exposed crawl space in their basement they wanted to use for storage, but the floor and walls were bare. We came in and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to ensure it stays dry and looks pristine!
When our inspector, Phil Matthews showed up to take a look at this Somerset, OH crawl space, he found a few issues that needed addressing. Phil explained to the homeowner that the amount of ventilation in his crawl space was sucking outside air and pulling it up through the house. With the warm, humid days we have here in the summer all the moisture in the air is being pulled into the home, creating the perfect environment for mold. In addition to the moisture, Phil also found that the foundation was in need of support in a few areas.
Per Phil's recommendaiton, Foreman Miguel Inguil and his crew sealed the crawl space using SilverGlo Insulation and CleanSpace Vapr Barrier. This will keep the crawlspace dry. The team also installed SmartJacks around the crawl space to add support to the foundation.
