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

This album showcases a homeowner in Wilmington, DE struggling with their leaky crawl space. 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!

A Leaky Crawl Space

Water leaks from the outside into the crawl space through the concrete blocks. This saturates the dirt floor and creates humidity in the crawl space. The humidity can create odors and mold growth in the crawl space.

SilverGlo Installation

SilverGlo has been installed on the wall of the crawl space to keep the crawl space air sealed and to prevent air from flowing in or out of it.
