Crawl Space Floor Covering
At the time of its construction this crawl space was covered with thin plastic. This covering rips very easily and allows the ground moisture to affect to the air inside the crawl space.
Duct Work Inside Crawl Space
With the conditioning unit running through the crawl space, air from the crawl space will get into the duct as well as air getting out into the crawl space. This means your air conditioner may work harder but also that it could be pumping wet air into the home.
Unprotected Wall Before Encapsulation
Block walls like this are known to absorb water and are not very insulated.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on Ground
After we encapsulated the crawl space with a vapor barrier that won't rip easily the air is protected from ground moisture.
Duct Work in Crawl Space After Encapsulation
Once the vapor barrier on the ground, thermal insulation on the walls, and a air system is in place the air around the duct work of the home is much more suited to be flowing into the living areas.
Walls With SilverGlo Insulation
The block walls that once absorbed water and affected the temperature of the crawl space is now protected against thermal intrusion. SilverGlo is designed as a thermal insulator for the walls of the crawl space and helps protect the air inside the home. This allows the home to be much more energy efficient.
