Moisture and an Aging Crawl Space in Moyock, NC
When our team inspected this Moyock, NC crawl space, they found a worn, damaged vapor barrier that was no longer protecting the home from ground moisture. Over time, crawl spaces like this can develop high humidity, musty odors, and damp conditions that affect the air quality inside the home. Before any repairs could begin, the first step was identifying the source of the moisture so we could create a lasting solution for the homeowner.
Adding Extra Protection with SilverGlo Insulation and Drainage Matting
After preparing the crawl space, our team installed SilverGlo insulation and drainage matting to provide an extra layer of protection. The SilverGlo insulation helps keep outside temperatures from affecting the crawl space while reflecting heat back into the home for improved energy efficiency. The drainage matting beneath the vapor barrier creates a pathway for water to move toward the drainage system, helping keep moisture from collecting under the home.
Sealing the Crawl Space to Lock Out Moisture
With the wall insulation in place, our team installed a durable crawl space vapor barrier to completely cover the exposed ground. By sealing the crawl space, we help prevent moisture from rising into the home, reducing the risk of musty odors, mold growth, and high humidity.
Strengthening Sagging Floors with SmartJack Supports
Moisture in a crawl space can weaken floor supports over time, leading to sagging or bouncy floors throughout the home. To restore stability, our team installed SmartJack support posts beneath the floor system.
Reliable Water Protection with a TripleSafe Sump Pump
To complete this crawl space transformation, our team installed a TripleSafe sump pump to provide dependable protection against water intrusion. When heavy rain or rising groundwater threatens the crawl space, the system automatically pumps water away from the home before it can collect and cause damage.
