Home Insulation Services Photo Album: A Leaky Crawl Space in Newark, DE

This album showcases a homeowner in Newark, DE struggling with their crawl space that leaked ground water. Most crawl spaces are built out of concrete hollow block that allows water to leak through it. The water saturates the dirt floor in the crawl space causes humidity, mold and a messy crawl space. Dr. Energy Saver solves this homeowner's problem by installing a SmartSump and encapsulating the crawl space. The SmartSump collects access water in the crawl space and pumps it outside. The CleanSpace Encapsulation process includes drainage matting, SilverGlo on the walls and CleanSpace liner on top of the drainage matting. This leaves the crawl space water free, mold free and clean!

The Damage of Leaky Crawl Spaces

Crawl spaces that leak ground water can be a big mess! The water that leaks in from the hollow concrete blocks along the walls saturates the dirt floor and creates humidity and mold within the crawl space.

Removal of Old Insulation

Insulation in the crawl space unfortunately does not serve its purpose well. Due to gravity the insulation begins to sag. This allows air to flow through it causing humidity in the crawl space. This creates mold growth and makes the insulation useless.
