Crawl Space Insulation Photo Album: Encapsulating a Crawl Space in Groton, CT

This homeowner in Groton, CT called us with issues with her crawlspace. She had fiberglass falling down in the crawlspace and her floors above it were sagging. Unfortunately, these are symptoms of a huge moisture issue in the home. When our Home Comfort Specialist arrived, he was able to confirm that she had a moisture issue -- complete with mold all over the crawlspace. We were able to remove the old fiberglass and treat the mold -- but the home needed a solution to prevent moisture problems in the future.   Enter our CleanSpace™ encapsulation system! This multi-step system ensures that your crawlspace is insulated and encapsulated. In order to begin, we laid out dimpled drainage mat on the ground in the crawlspace. At the same time, we installed SilverGlo™ foam insulation board on the walls in the crawlspace. We then sprayed two-part spray foam in the rim joist and over the sill plate where it meets the SilverGlo™, making a fully insulated wall. After that, we installed TerraBlock™ over the drainage mat. We finished it off b installing our CleanSpace™ encapsulation liner over all of it, sealing it to the walls with fasteners and spiking it into the crawl space floor. Now, the home is more comfortable and has much lower humidity!
