Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulating and Insulating a Crawlspace in Vandalia, MO
Moisture was entering a crawlspace in Vandalia, MO, leaving it damp and musty. It was also not properly insulated. To fix 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. Lastly, a vent cover was installed. This airtight cover will prevent uncontrolled outdoor air in the crawlspace, helping control the indoor environment. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain warm and dry for years to come!
