An overview of the Crawl Space during our inspection
A crawl space that is not encapsulated can lead to moisture buildup, causing mold growth and wood rot, which weakens the home's structure. Additionally, it can attract pests and rodents, increasing the risk of infestation and poor air quality throughout the house.
Bad Crawl Space: Paradise for rodents and insects
This mouse had a happy life inside this crawl space since excess moisture attract rodents and insects to proliferate.
Rotting Wood
This is a nothing alarming sign of a bad crawl space. Wood rot could lead to settling floors, thus causing a serious foundation problem.
CleanSpace Drainage Matting
The CleanSpace drainage matting represents a durable, dimpled matting system, laid across the crawl space floor. This matting creates a space for water to flow beneath the encapsulation liner, directing it toward a drainage system or sump pump.
SilverGlo Thermal Insulation
These rigid foam panels with reflective foil create a highly effective thermal barrier. This insulation not only reduces heat loss but also helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, making your home more energy-efficient. Additionally, its moisture-resistant properties help prevent mold growth, contributing to a healthier living environment.
CleanSpace Vapor Barrier
The vapor barrier is a heavy-duty, puncture-resistant polyethylene liner. This vapor barrier effectively seals off the crawl space from outside moisture, preventing humidity and moisture infiltration from the ground. By creating a clean, dry environment, the CleanSpace vapor barrier deters pests and contributes to the overall health of the home.
