Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Millington, MD
This album showcases a homeowner in Millington, MD struggling with her crawl space that has been leaking groundwater.
Loose crawl space doors and crawl space walls built out of concrete allow water to leak into the crawl space. This saturates the dirt floor of the crawl space and creates a high level of moisture in the crawl space. The results are a messy crawlspace with mold, pests and odors.
To help solve this homeowner's problem, Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva installs a SmartSump, SmartPipe and CleanSpace Drainage Matting.
First, Dr. Energy Saver installs the SmartSump. The SmartSump is installed at the low spot of a crawl space to collect water and pump it outside. Next, Dr. Energy Saver installs a SmartPipe. The SmartPipe is installed around the perimeter of your crawl space to drain water from the walls. Finally, Dr. Energy Saver installs CleanSpace Drainage Matting along the dirt floor. The Drainage Matting is dimpled to create air space for water to flow to the SmartSump and the vapor barrier.
The results are a cleaner, water free crawl space! Not the homeowner can live comfortably in their home while reducing utility costs.
Leaky Crawl Space

Sagging Insulation
Due to the humidity in the crawl space, it has caused the insulation from the sub floor to begin to sag. This virtually makes the insulation useless. Once the insulation begins to sag, air can pass through it.
SaniDry Saves the Day!
Due to the high humidity in the crawl space, Dr. Energy Saver has installed the SaniDry CX Crawl Space Air System. SaniDry is a dehumidification and air filtration in one unit. It helps lower humidity in the crawl space to prevent future mold growth and odors.
SmartSump Installation
The SmartSump has been installed to collect access water in the crawl space and to pump it outside. Leaving a clean and dry crawl space.
The Encapsulation Process
Finally, the crawl space has been fully encapsulated by Dr. Energy Saver. Goodbye damp, moldy crawl space and say hello to the new, clean crawl space.
