Exposed Crawl Space Allowing Moisture Intrusion - Raleigh, NC
This crawl space in Raleigh, NC was left exposed with an uncovered ground surface and visible insulation deterioration. Moisture from the soil and outside air was able to freely enter the space, increasing humidity levels and creating conditions that can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality throughout the home.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Installation - Moisture Control Begins
To stop ground moisture from rising into the crawl space, a durable vapor barrier was installed across the floor and sealed along the walls and piers. This barrier creates a protective layer that blocks moisture and helps regulate humidity, forming the foundation of a properly encapsulated crawl space.
Crawl Space Sump Pump System for Groundwater Control - Raleigh, NC
This image highlights the installation of a sump pump system, designed to collect and safely remove groundwater from beneath the home. Any water that enters the crawl space is directed into the sump basin and pumped away, preventing pooling water and reducing the risk of long-term moisture damage to the foundation.
Sanidry Dehumidifier Installed for Year-Round Humidity Control
To complete the encapsulation system, a Sanidry dehumidifier was installed to actively remove excess moisture from the air. This system helps maintain healthy humidity levels, improves indoor air quality, and protects the crawl space from mold, odors, and moisture-related damage year-round.
