Encapsulating a Crawl Space in Webster, MA

This homeowner in Webster, MA reached out to us due to drafts he was experiencing. He wanted to get the weatherstripping replaced on his doors, as he believed that that was the cause of his drafts. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he found that one cause for his drafts was his inadequate insulation. When the Home Comfort Specialist went into the homeowner's crawl space, he noted that the insulation had begun to sag and fall, and there was a humidity issue causing mold.

We were able to help this customer! One of the solutions we utilized was our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system. We first insulated the walls using our SilverGlo™ foam insulation. For the floor, we added a dimpled drainage mat to create a thermal break. We then installed TerraBlock™ floor insulation on top of that. Then, we installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner over that insulation. We fastened it into both the walls and floor to create a permanent solution for this crawl space. We then added two-part expanding spray foam to the rim joist to ensure that the crawl space was covered. Combined with our other solutions, this homeowner will experience less drafts, warmer floors, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable home!
