Before & After Photos

The design of most crawl spaces includes vents that allow air to openly move from outside to in and inside to out.  This allows dust, allergens and even pests to be able to enter the space below a home.  The air in these crawl spaces eventually works its way into the rooms and living areas of the home above.  One of the most common suggestions we make for any crawl space project is to cover, insulated and air seal these vents.  creating a controlled environment in a crawl space by limiting the outside influence helps to improve air quality and the energy efficiency of the space.  Here we used Silver Glo insulation paneling, cut to fit the vent and Zyp Foam to seal around the edges.  

This Fairfax, VA crawlspace was nearly unusable to the owners of this home with dirt floors, no waterproofing, and a lack of insulation this area of the home was nearly not just useless but detrimental to the comfort of the home. Due to the nonexistent insulation and lack of waterproofing uncontrolled air and moisture were able to easily seep into the home. This was causing some rooms to be too hot or too cold and was significantly increasing the risk of mold growth or even water damage. When our sales professional went out he completed a full home inspection and determined that the best course of action would be to completely encapsulate the crawlspace. Our crews went out to the home flattened the dirt floor, applied ZypFoam to any potential air leaks, installed TerraBlock floor insulation, and applied CleanSpace covering to the walls and floor to keep moisture and condensation out. 

We turned this nasty crawl space into a clean space with controlled air flow and better impact on the energy efficiency of the home.  Removing the old insulation attached to the crawl space ceiling, clearing the plastic on the floors and then installing a moisture barrier and Clean Space to seal it all in made this crawl space have better air quality and allow for use of the space if storage is needed by the homeowners.  The foundation supports of the home were air sealed to keep moisture below and the rim joists of the home were sealed with spray Foam.  

This Stafford, VA home had a crawl space that needed major work due to dampness and damage. Our CleanSpace system was the perfect solution.

This home in Annandale Virginia had a nasty crawl space.  Musty smells, rotted wood, dirty plastic covering the floors and excessive humidity were just some of the problems we were able to address by encapsulating the crawl space.  Sealing up the vents which allowed external air, allergens and temperatures to impact the air inside the home was the first step.  Insulating the walls of the space and then putting down a moisture barrier to cover everything else followed.  This home will now have better air quality, improved comfort, lower energy bills and the potential for any of the pipes freezing has been reduced almost totally.
