Customers were curious about the benefits of crawl space encapsulation
The homeowner was having an inspection done. The inspector suggested they get their crawlspace sealed due to the fiberglass insulation falling to bits.
This homes crawlspace had humidity issues and a very muddy floor, which made keeping a 6 Mil vapor barrier in place, very difficult. To address the homes needs we did a full encapsulation.
This Crawlspaces old sump pump had been a DIY tutorial job, and while it might have worked with a small amount of water, it was unable to withstand the water this home faced, causing it to overflow and cover the vapor barrier that was present. We upgraded this system with a perimeter perforated pipe system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a new vapor barrier.
This home's sump pump had been installed by the homeowner but with a pump that had been purchased at a hardware store. While this can work out, this crawlspace had more water than this pump could handle. To ensure the system could keep up with the water, we updated this to a TripleSafe sump pump with a CleanSpace vapor barrier and spray foam on the walls.
