Home Insulation Services Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Ocean View, DE

This homeowner in Ocean View, DE was struggling with an uncomfortable home due to their vented crawl space. Unfortunately, vented crawl spaces do not serve their purpose well. The insulation begins to sag away allowing air to pass through it. This causes humidity in the crawl space which leads to condensation on ducts, mold, odors and wood rots. Dr. Energy Saver helps solve this problem by encapsulating the vented crawl space. First SilverGlo insulation is applied to the walls of the crawl space to seal off any air flow and leaks. Next, a dimpled drainage matting is applied to the dirt floor. This allows air space for water to flow. Lastly, the crawl space is encapsulated with the CleanSpace Encapsulation system on top of the drainage matting. This creates lower humidity in the crawlspace, lower utility costs and a more comfortable house for the homeowner.

The Downfalls of a Vented Crawl Space

Sadly, vented crawl spaces don't serve their purpose as well as contractors had previously hoped for. The insulation sags away and allows air to pass through it, making it useless.
