Encapsulating a Crawl Space in Mystic, CT

This homeowner in Mystic, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his 600 square foot crawl space. He had purchased the home the previous year, and was ready to start work on it. He had four distinct needs he wanted addressed. The first was debris removal. The crawl space had debris in it from different owners over the years, as well as some insulation that was not performing up to the standard the homeowner wanted. The homeowner was also looking to re-insulate the crawl space, properly, so that he would not have issues in the future. He then wanted to install a vapor barrier, in part to reduce the musty odors in his home and attempt to control the humidity. Finally, he was looking to install a dehumidifier in the crawl space to further reduce the humidity. He was hoping that we would be able to tackle all of his needs. 

We were able to help this customer with all of his needs! 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, less humidity, and a much more comfortable home!
