Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulating and Sealing a Moldy Crawlspace in Sikeston, MO
Moisture was entering a crawlspace from the open vent in Sikeston, MO, and mold was beginning to grow inside it. To solve these issues, 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. Additionally, a Vent Cover was installed. This airtight cover will stop letting uncontrolled air into the crawlspace, helping control the indoor environment. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will stay dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!
