Home Insulation Services Photo Album: Vented Crawl Space in Harrington, DE
This homeowner in Harrington, DE was struggling with their vented crawl space. Many homes were built with vented crawl spaces and sadly they don't serve their purpose well. Insulation begins to sag away allowing air to flow through it making the insulation useless. This causes the humidity in the crawl space to rise and condensation to form on the ducts. Mold grows, wood rots and odors can be noticed from within the house.
Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva solves vented crawl spaces with CleanSpace Encapsulation system with SilverGlo Insulation on the walls. Vents and air leaks are sealed SilverGlo insulation so air can longer flow in or out of the crawl space. Then, the CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation liner is installed across the dirt floor. The results are lower humidity, a more comfortable home and lower utility costs.
