When the insulation in vented crawlspaces become wet due to moisture many homeowners notice odd & musty smells in the home. With proper crawlspace encapsulation this insulation is no longer needed. By removing the insulation homeowners increase the comfort in their homes and reduce crawlspace odors.
Dr. Energy Saver focuses strictly on the homeowner needs inside the home while finding any health or durability concerns. If our home comfort specialist finds anything that could potentially affect the living conditions inside the home, we bring it to your attention.

This home in Rock Hall, MD underwent a Clean Space™ crawlspace encapsulation by Lawson Home Services. Take a look at the difference in the before and after photos.
Homes in the past were built with ventilated crawlspaces. But looking back with the information we have today, we see how this resulted in big problems: cold floors in winter, and mold formation in the musty damp dirt-floor crawlspace that leads to rotting of the wooden structures. And that's just the start of the problems. The mold gives off spores in dry fall and winter weather, dangerous allergens that can result in sinus problems and asthma for sensitive occupants. No wonder everyone gets sick in the winter.
The occupants of this home will be more comfortable and healthier this winter, and will begin to see lower utility bills. That's a win-win situation all the way around!
