We removed debris and insulation where needed and managed to protect the entire crawl space in just one day. This liner comes with a longtime warranty. Since it can be used to protect both the walls and the floor, the installation time is cut in half.ĬrawlSeal™ is made with polyester cord reinforcement which makes it extremely durable. Our crew installed the same barrier over the floor and the walls, which is one of the main advantages of this liner. This way it can also help lower the homeowner’s energy bills. This 20-mil liner will not only reduce humidity in the crawl space but will also stand in the way of cold drafts in winter. That is why our crew installed the CrawlSeal™ vapor barrier in the crawl space to protect this area against moisture. We also agreed that crawl space encapsulation was the best option for her. Another benefit of this insulation board is that it comes with a Class A fire rating, so it is effective against fire. It has an integrated termiticide so it will make it more difficult for pests to get inside or cause damage to the crawl space. While some types of insulation are a haven for pests such as termites, this one keeps them at bay. It is extremely durable thanks to the polymeric film facer on both sides. This insulation can also reduce the customers’ energy usage. Next, we installed ExTremeBloc™ insulation board on exterior perimeter walls and rim joists. To enhance the vapor barrier’s durability, we also placed drainage matting on the floor.
These will keep the outside moisture-laden air from coming inside and increasing humidity levels in the crawl space area. Our crew started the work by installing two crawl space vent covers. With several waterproofing measures, we managed to protect the owner’s crawl space against water damage and ensure that this kind of problem won’t occur again. Since she has asthma, she wanted to resolve this problem as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, our customer’s crawl space was not protected from water damage when her neighbor’s water heater leaked and flooded her below-grade area. This is why it is a much better solution to waterproof the crawl space and avoid facing any moisture issues at all. Mold is especially dangerous for anyone with allergies or asthma. If not handled properly, mold can cause serious and even permanent damage to your health. Mold releases airborne spores that can also contaminate the air in your living space and your HVAC system distributes them throughout the home. Maybe the worst consequence of having a moist crawl space is mold growth. It can create an ideal environment for all kinds of pests and cause wood rot that can impact the structural integrity of your home. Moisture in your crawl space is never good news.
