Water and Fiberglass In a Crawlspace Means Trouble - Tualatin, OR

Oftentimes crawlspaces are insulated with fiberglass, which is problematic. Fiberglass is made to be enclosed on all six sides, for when it isn't, it absorbs moisture and holds it up against the wooden foundation, causing mold and rot. This home had this problem and mold spores were along the homes beams and posts, and the fiberglass was falling from water weight. To address this is provide long term insulation and water protection, we installed a full crawlspace encapsulation.
