Full of garbage, torn plastic, and experiencing early signs of water seepage this crawl space facilitated a less than desirable atmosphere. For a home, the crawl space is very important to keep dry and maintain good air quality that flows through the rest of the house. We were able to remove the debris and protect this home by waterproofing it, installing a vapor barrier, and a dehumidifier.
Experiencing moisture through condensation and water vapor is a major issue within dirt crawl spaces. This crawl space also was amassing debris that attracts rodents and other creatures. We cleaned it out and applied a vapor barrier, greatly improving its state.
Short term solutions inside a crawl space, like fiberglass insulation, consistently fail homes just like this one. To provide a more durable system we installed thermal insulation along the walls of the crawl space, instead of below the first level’s floor, and wrapped It in CleanSpace vapor barrier. Now the air inside the crawl space can be more accurately monitored and controlled.
