Encapsulating a Crawl Space in Shelburne Falls, MA

This homeowner in Shelburne Falls, MA called us when she realized that half of her home was uninsulated. She was hoping to get a whole-home energy evaluation as well as get the home insulated. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, we noted that there were several issues with the home - including the fact that her crawlspace was not encapsulated. 

We began with insulating the crawl space's walls using SilverGlo™ foam insulation board. SilverGlo™ foam has graphite infused into the foam to increase the R-value by 24% over standard foam. We then laid out a dimpled plastic drainage mat across the floor, and installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation over it. On top of all of that, the CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner was installed permanently across it. The crawlspace is now clean and insulated -- protecting this customer's home from the temperature fluctuations, humidity, and pests outside!
