This home suffered from a lot of water damage. There were rotten wooden posts and the old fiberglass insulation was falling in piles. To fix this issue we did a full crawlspace encapsulation; UltraSump Pump, TerraBlock, CleanSpace, Spray Foam, and replaced eight of the wooden posts under the home.
Flooding is definitely the easiest way to determine a water issue is happening. This homeowner noted a damp and musty smell coming from their crawlspace. They opened the crawlspace entryway in one of their closets and could see standing water throughout the space. They had seen John's trucks go through town and gave us a call. Our crew began with a full dry out of the space and cleared it of the debris, fiberglass, and old vapor barrier. Mold X 2 was applied as needed and we installed a full encapsulation to protect this home.
This homes crawlspace was damp, water was found pooling on the old vapor barrier with the fiberglass insulation falling from the subfloor and off of the pipes and HVAC system. To get the space dry and healthy, the homeowners chose to have the space encapsulated.
This homeowner had an allergy to mold and dust mites, both of which can grow and prosper in a nasty damp crawl space. Knowing that their living spaces were dry and healthy they turned their attention under foot. Their crawl space hadn't been properly maintained in years, and it was a mess. To make this space healthy, thus healthier air for the living spaces, the homeowner wanted to learn about encapsulation. We went over the many health benefits, and the homeowner moved forward with an encapsulation and an Aspen air purifier.
This dust filled and musty crawlspace was causing high energy bills due to the falling insulation as well as musty air to be pulled up into the living space above. To have the home dry and healthy we did a crawlspace encapsulation.
