This customer called with an active water problem that he knew needed to be fixed soon. Our inspector went out and found that with the water in the crawlspace and high humidity the moisture had been absorbed by the fiberglass insulation. With constant exposure to moisture, mold had begun to grow on the joists and posts. Our crew went out and did a crawlspace encapsulation system for the water situation. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier that is 20 mils thick woven fiber barrier. It is tear-resistant and will not deteriorate with water exposure. When we encapsulate a crawlspace we bring the vapor barrier all the way up to the sill plate of the home. When finished the crawlspace is encapsulated and considered a conditioned space. The homeowner was so relieved to have the mold taken care of and he didn't have to worry about further water damage to his home.
The homeowners heating and cooling bills were steadily rising, they soon found out that this was in large, due to their crawlspace being uninsulated, and open to the elements. After a full crawlspace encapsulation, they could feel the difference it made!
When we arrived, this homes crawlspace entrance was clogged with mud and very difficult to enter. To start work on this job, we dug out the entrance, safely cut into the foundation wall and created an entryway that would be user friendly with our Turtl entryway.
