Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

An unfinished crawl space can cause a ton of problems for homeowners, most notably moisture-related issues. Moisture can cause rot, mold, and other forms of decay, compromising the structural integrity of the home. Additionally, high levels of humidity can create an environment that attracts pests such as termites, rodents, and insects. Not only does this pose a health risk for the occupants of the home, but it can also make it difficult to sell the property in the future.

When our crew recommended the The CleanSpace Encapsulation system and SaniDry Sedona to help solve these moisture problems, the homeowners were more than happy to get the work started. The CleanSpace Encapsulation system involves installing a heavy-duty liner to the floor and walls of the crawl space, creating an impermeable barrier that prevents water and moisture from seeping in. The SaniDry Sedona, on the other hand, is a dehumidifier that helps control the level of humidity within the crawl space. The combination of these two systems helps create a dry, healthy, and pest-free environment in the crawl space, ensuring the longevity of the home and the family's health.

This homeowner in Wayne Mi. had noticed a slight uptake in their energy bills over the years, but their home never felt the right temperature and felt as if there was always a draft.

Project manager, Robert, used his expertise to conduct a thorough inspection of the house, which ultimately led him to their crawl space. That's where he found their aged and failing fiberglass insulation to be the problem, not to mention the debris and random sheet metal scattered about. While fiberglass batt insulation is the cheapest and easiest DIY choice for insulating the crawl space, there are several problems with using fiberglass batts in a vented crawl space including. Fiberglass can absorb water and lose its R-value when wet, air can easily pass through it, leading to uncomfortable living conditions and decayed or wet fiberglass insulation can lead to mold and other health hazards.

Robert recommended SilverGlo insulation. SilverGlo features a radiant barrier that reflects heat back into your crawl space for energy savings and is made with a mix of polystyrene foam and graphite to resist heat flow.

The crew cleaned out the crawl space, removing debris and replacing the failing old fiberglass insulation with the shiny SilverGlo insulation featured here. The homeowners were happy to report a more notably more comfortable living condition after the installation of this heat-reflective insulation. If your energy bill has been increasing, but your home still feels uncomfortable or drafty, it may be worth looking into reinsulating your crawl space.
