Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Musty and Moldy Crawlspace Encapsulated and Insulated in Effingham, IL
A crawlspace was not insulated properly in Effingham, IL. Moisture was also entering it, allowing mold to grow and create a musty smell. 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. Additionally, the SmartSump System was installed. This system is designed just for crawlspaces and will pump out any water that enters it. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain warm, dry, and clean for years to come!
