Photo Album: Damaged Insulation in a Crawl Space Ceiling in Denton, MD
A homeowner in Denton, MD was struggling with their damaged insulation in their crawl space ceiling.
Previously, in crawl space construction, the idea was to vent the crawl space by installing insulation on the crawl space ceiling. Unfortunately, this theory does not work. The insulation begins to sag from the ceiling due to gravity allowing air to pass through it. This causes the crawl space to become extremely humid which can cause mold and odors as well as crawl space with virtually no insulation.
Dr. Energy Saver's solution to damaged insulation in crawl spaces is to first remove it. After removing the damaged crawl space insulation, Dr. Energy Saver will prepare to encapsulate the crawl space. This will ensure a clean, mold free and insulated crawl space.

This photo captures what the original crawl space looked like. The insulation had begun to break away from the ceiling allowing air to pass through it, making the insulation useless.

SilverGlo Installation in Crawl Space
SilverGlo has been installed along the walls of the crawl space to prevent any air leakage from within or out of the crawl space. SilverGlo helps keep an airtight seal in the crawl space.
SilverGlo and CleanSpace Installation
SilverGlo Installation and CleanSpace Liner has been applied to the crawl space walls. This helps keep the crawl space air tight and clean.
