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.
This Greensboro, NC home was facing common crawl space issues excess moisture, exposed dirt, and poor air circulation. The damp environment was contributing to musty odors, inefficient energy use, and the risk of mold and structural damage.
To solve the problem, our team encapsulated the entire crawl space with a durable vapor barrier, creating a clean and sealed environment. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also installed to actively control humidity levels and improve air quality throughout the home.
Now, this crawl space is clean, dry, and protected helping to boost home health, energy efficiency, and long-term structural stability.
Using our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, we sealed this customers crawl space to prevent moisture from seeping through and to prevent mold growth.
Moisture in a crawl space can cause significant damage to floor joists over time. When moisture is present, it creates the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and wood rot to develop. These issues weaken the structural integrity of the joists, leading to sagging, warping, or even collapse.
To repair the damage, our team will first address the source of the moisture to prevent future issues. This may involve installing a vapor barrier, improving ventilation, or fixing any leaks. Once the moisture issue is resolved, we will assess the extent of the damage to the joists. Depending on the severity, we may sister new joists alongside the damaged ones, replace sections of the joists, or use structural supports to reinforce them. Our goal is to restore the stability and safety of the flooring system while preventing further damage.
This formerly moist and moldy crawl space got a brand new look and feel with our CleanSpace encapsulation system. Complete with a SuperSump pump system, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and air purifier, and (of course) our ultra-durable CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting - moisture nor humidity stand a chance against this crawl space now!
