This crawlspace's old vapor barrier was encased in mud and was a very damp feeling. To solve this water issue we did a full crawlspace encapsulation and installed Four SmartJacks to reinforce the structure of the home where wood rot had caused damage.
Fiberglass Insulation absorbs moisture from the air and holds onto it, causing it to fall to pieces and curate a good environment for mold spores to grow. To fix this issue, a crawlspace encapsulation is needed. We cleared out this crawlspace, applied Mold X as needed and encapsulated the space with a drainage system, TripleSafe sump pump, TerraBlock insulation, CleanSpace, Spray Foam insulation, and a SaniDry dehumidifier.
When a home has a hard time regulating temperatures, this becomes a big burden on the heating and cooling bills. This home was getting a revamp on its insulation and windows to make the home more energy efficient. For the crawlspace, this entailed pulling out the old fiberglass that was drooping and insufficient, and doing an encapsulation which includes TerraBlock insulation and spray foam.
This homeowner had seen our truck in their neighborhood a few times. They decided to call John's Waterproofing to see what we do and why it was important. After hearing about energy savings as well as the expensive repairs that accompany water issues in the crawl space, they decided to get ahead of the problem with an encapsulation system.
This homes crawl space was a mess. The owners of the home knew that their homes heating and cooling costs had been rising, and they needed to get the space controlled. One way they could address this, was by caring for their crawl space. This area had been overlooked year after year, and it was suffering. The old vapor barrier was drooping and not providing insulation value to the home. To control the space and lower the energy bill we installed an encapsulation. This system includes drainage, a sump pump, proper insulation, a 20 Mil thick woven vapor barrier, and dehumidifier.
