This homes old 6 Mil vapor barrier was holding up generally well against the groundwater, however, the space suffered from high humidity, leaving the fiberglass insulation water heavy and falling out of place. The only real way to insulate a crawlspace and protect your home is a full encapsulation. This properly insulated the space, and waterproofs it, keeping your home dry and healthy.
This homes crawl space needed some upkeep. It had been sitting unattended to for over five years and the old vapor barrier had a layer of dust. The fiberglass had been sealed up, but it was damp and held an unhealthy level of moisture in it that was growing mold spores. To protect the home from water damage, the homeowners wanted to look into encapsulation. Our design specialist went out and did a full inspection. After going over how an encapsulation could help, they were ready to move forward.
This home had a history of water issues. They had done a big structural repair a few years back to replace the damaged wooden beams and posts in the crawl space. Now that a few years had passed, they were ready for their next crawl space investment, a system built to prevent water damage from occurring. For this, they called up John's Waterproofing to get a full encapsulation!
This crawlspace in Beaverton is now used for storage and with the Silverglo insulation the owners no longer have cold wood floors and have no more complaints of drafts.
This crawlspace was wet, dirty, and unusable before our team got there.
