Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulating and Insulating a Crawlspace in Cottage Hills, IL

Water was entering a crawlspace in Cottage Hills, IL, and it was not insulated properly. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation was first installed. This features a radiant barrier infused with graphite, so the heat is reflected into the crawlspace, saving energy. Next, the CleanSpace Encapsulation System was installed. This will completely isolate the crawlspace from the earth, dramatically reducing the humidity level. This will also eliminate mold growth and make the whole house healthier. The white finished side will brighten the crawlspace and allow one to see inside easily. A SmartSump was also installed. This sump system is designed just for crawlspaces and will pump out any water that enters it. Additionally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the crawlspace. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the SmartSump, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will stay warm and dry for years to come!
