We were called by Karen for a number of reasons. She had been interested in encapsulation to (1) help deter mice in crawlspace, (2) improve overall home health and air quality. After inspection we walked Karen through what we found. She had high humidity levels and wood moisture content which can be the cause of microbial growth in your crawl.
Fifty percent of the air we breathe on the first floor of the home comes from the crawl space. If you have duct work with any sort of tears or gaps (which most duct work has) in the crawl space you could also be bringing in dirt, mold spores, and dust directly into your home.
The encapsulation system we installed for Karen is going to help in multiple ways. Exchanging fiberglass batts (which rodents and insects love) for high-density foam board and completely sealing the ground off will improve the air quality, help deter rodents and insects, and also made her whole home significantly warmer.

In Pittsville, Maryland, homeowners were frantic about making their kids bed and bathrooms more comfortable. With the winter season coming around the corner, they quickly called Dr. Energy Saver to come out and inspect their home to find a solution to their issue.
After Dr. Energy Saver representative went over the problem and solution to the homeowner which was the lack of insulation inside of their attic.
During production, we sealed any penetrations inside of the attic where air could seep through and re-insulated their attic well above the average amount. This will eliminate those cold and drafty rooms. Also lowering the cost of home ownership for the homeowners!
Homeowners in Snow Hill, Maryland noticed their home was starting to become uncomfortable as the summer season approached. After Observing the inside of the attic, it was concluded that they did not have enough insulation that would be efficient enough to keep their home comfortable.
Dr. Energy Saver came out and did a further inspection and ensured the homeowners that the lack of insulation was the biggest factor in the uncomfortable house. We then came back out with our production crew and sealed any air penetration inside of the attic and then insulated it above the average.
The homeowners now experience a comfortable home year around and were more than pleased of the results from Dr. Energy Saver!
