Exposed Crawl Space Ground Allowing Moisture to Rise into the Home
This photo shows an unsealed crawl space floor with exposed ground and minimal ground covering, allowing moisture from the soil to rise into the crawl space. These conditions can lead to elevated humidity levels, musty odors, and increased risk of mold growth and wood deterioration. To address this issue, a durable vapor barrier system was installed to fully cover the crawl space floor, blocking ground moisture and creating a dry, controlled environment beneath the home.
Drainage Matting and Sealed Support Piers Protecting the Crawl Space
This photo shows drainage matting installed across the crawl space floor, creating a pathway for any incidental moisture to move beneath the vapor barrier instead of pooling on the surface. Previously, exposed ground and unsealed support piers allowed moisture to rise and spread throughout the crawl space. As part of the repair, the matting was installed first, followed by sealing and wrapping each support pier to block moisture intrusion. Together, these components improve moisture control, enhance durability of the vapor barrier system, and help maintain a dry, healthy crawl space environment.
SilverGlo Insulation and Vapor Barrier Creating a Bright, Dry Crawl Space
This photo shows the crawl space after repair, featuring SilverGlo wall insulation installed along the foundation walls in combination with drainage matting and a sealed vapor barrier system. Previously, exposed foundation walls and ground moisture allowed humidity and cold air to enter the crawl space, impacting comfort and energy efficiency above. The SilverGlo insulation reflects heat back into the home while acting as a moisture barrier, and the matting beneath the vapor barrier allows water to flow safely to designated drainage points. Together, these upgrades create a clean, dry, and energy-efficient crawl space environment.
Encapsulated Crawl Space with SilverGlo and Sump Pump Water Management
This photo shows the completed crawl space repair after addressing ongoing moisture and water intrusion issues. Previously, groundwater and humidity were able to collect beneath the home, increasing the risk of mold growth and structural concerns. As part of the solution, a sump pump system was installed to actively collect and remove water from beneath the vapor barrier, preventing standing water and moisture buildup. SilverGlo insulation was added along the foundation walls to reflect heat, improve energy efficiency, and block moisture intrusion, while the fully sealed vapor barrier creates a clean, dry environment. Together, these systems work to manage water, control humidity, and protect the crawl space and home long term.
