Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Sealed & Encapsulated in Lapeer, MI
Project Manager: Keith Brown
Foreman: Blake Dushefski
This homeowner in Lapeer, Michigan reached out to HomeSpec to have his crawl space encapsulated. He knew that a lot of issues he was experiencing would be solved if the crawl space was sealed – such as cold floors and frozen pipes in the winter, and moisture with musty smells in the summer.
HomeSpec sealed the crawl space walls and floor with a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier (20-mil reinforced polymer liner) and SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation. These combined encapsulate the crawl space and prevent water and air leaks. Without moisture getting in, there's no need to worry about mold, mildew, rot or pests.
Once the encapsulation process is complete, the crawl space is officially a dry and healthy space!
Musty Crawl Space
The crawl space is not the best looking or best smelling part of the home - but it could be a much more usable (and worry-free) space if it's waterproofed and encapsulated.
Cold Floors Above Crawl Space
The homeowner often felt the floors above his crawl space were freezing in the winter. After encapsulation, he noticed an immediate difference.
Crawl Space Sealed Off From Outside
The crawl space is much drier, cleaner, healthier and reliable now.
