Installing a Turtl™ Crawl Space Access System in Enfield, CT

This homeowner in Enfield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to replace his "makeshift" crawl space entrance with a new access system. Since the old thinking was that crawl spaces could have dirt floors and be vented, it was okay for access doors to be loose fitting and unsealed. Today we know that to have a comfortable, energy efficient home, free of mold, rot, bugs, and odors we must seal off all air (and water) leaks from the outside. But an old crawl space access door doesn’t do that. And wells fill up with leaves, water, and weeds grow in them, a constant maintenance issue. Open wells can also be a fall hazard. Results - Warm, humid air leaks in during summer, causing condensation all over the crawl space, cold air leaks in during winter causing cold floors above and cooling heating ducts, higher fuel and electric bills.

We had the perfect solution for this customer. The Turtl™ Crawl Space access system is an airtight door and a sealed access well in one durable unit. This highly specialized product is the only one of it’s kind manufactured anywhere and is perfect for it’s purpose. The homeowner can open the lid and crawl into their crawl space without getting wet or dirty. The Turtl™ even has a place for a lock on it, and will never rust, rot or need paint! It’s airtight and watertight and people can jump on it without a problem! Result - An airtight, watertight, durable crawl space access that keeps the home clean and healthy. Lower fuel and electric bills.
