Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Seaford, DE homeowner was losing a lot of energy through the metal mesh access panel covering the crawl space. To remedy the situation our Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva team installed the TURTL. The TURTL is an innovative crawl space access system. A space is dug out in the ground so that the TURTL can rest snugly inside. The TURTL allows for a larger, more comfortable entry into the crawl space. It is durable, airtight and watertight. This installation will cut down on this home's energy loss significantly.  

To address the customer's concerns about dust, allergens, mold, and odors in their home, as well as issues with the dryer exhaust, we implemented a comprehensive set of solutions that significantly improved the indoor air quality and overall comfort.

Dust & Allergens:

• We began by providing our Platinum Air Duct Cleaning Service, thoroughly cleaning both the return and supply ducts, as well as the condenser and evaporator coils. This deep cleaning helps to remove dust, allergens, and other contaminants that can circulate through the home.
• To further enhance air quality, we sealed the ductwork using Aeroseal technology from the inside, ensuring that conditioned air is properly contained and preventing leaks.
• We also replaced any damaged flex ducts to ensure optimal airflow and cleanliness.
• Additionally, we installed a Breathe EZ UVC Light in the furnace, which works to neutralize airborne pathogens, reducing allergens and improving overall air quality.

Crawl Space Improvements:

• In the crawl space, we removed moldy and damaged insulation from the ceiling, treating the area with Mold-X Neutralizer to eliminate any existing mold.
• To enhance insulation and prevent future moisture issues, we sealed and insulated the rim joists with SilverGlo™ insulation and one-part foam.
• We then installed the CleanSpace™ Encapsulation System, including drainage matting, TerraBlock™ floor insulation, and SilverGlo™ insulation on the walls. This system creates a sealed and insulated environment, preventing moisture intrusion and mold growth.
• To maintain a dry and healthy crawl space, we installed the SaniDry™ Sedona Crawl Space Air System, which efficiently controls humidity and keeps the air clean.

Dryer Exhaust:

• We also replaced the damaged or improper dryer exhaust, ensuring safe and efficient venting.

The customer was able to take advantage of the Energize Delaware Rebate, making these critical home improvements even more affordable. As a result, the home is now significantly healthier, with reduced dust and allergens, a clean and dry crawl space, and a properly functioning dryer exhaust system.
