Photo Album: Vented Crawl Space in Wittman, MD

A homeowner in Wittman, MD was struggling with their vented crawl space. In the winter, vents let cold air directly into the home. The floor insulation sags away from the sub floor and the cold air gets above it making the insulation useless. In the summer, the vents let in warm air causing high humidity in the crawl space. This can cause condensation, mold, and odors. Dr. Energy Saver's solution to vented crawl spaces is the CleanSpace Encapsulation System with SilverGlo insulation on the walls. The vents and other air leaks in the crawl space are sealed and it is insulated with SilverGlo insulation. Then, CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation liner is installed along the dirt floor of the crawl space. The results are lower humidity in the crawl space, a more comfortable home and lower utility costs.

Sagging Fiberglass Insulation

In the winter, vents let cold air into the home. Floor insulation sags away from the sub floor and the cold air gets above it causing the insulation to become useless. In the summer, warm air leaks into the vents causing high humidity in the crawl space. This results in condensation, mold growth and odors.
