Removing Insulation from a Crawl Space in Ludlow, MA

This homeowner in Ludlow, MA reached out to us after finding out that his sill plate was rotting. He wanted to get that fixed as well as fix the root of the problem. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he found that they had a humidity issue that was causing the rotting wood as well as mold. The fiberglass insulation in the crawl space was sagging and falling down due to the moisture content, rendering it useless.

 

In order to help this customer, we had to start with removing the old fiberglass from the homeowner's crawl space. We then removed the debris from the crawl space. The fiberglass insulation is very bulky and takes up a tremendous amount of space in trucks and our dumpsters. But it’s necessary to have a healthy home in the end. Result - now the crawl space is ready to be fixed properly with other solutions.

He also found that it was an unencapsulated crawl space.

 

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!
