Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Insulating and Encapsulating a Moldy Crawlspace in Springfield, IL
A crawlspace was not properly insulated in Springfield, IL. Moisture was also entering it, allowing mold to grow. To solve these issues, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were 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. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this crawlspace will remain warm and dry for years to come!
