Home Insulation Services Photo Album: Encapsulating a Vented Crawl Space in Milford, DE

Vented crawl spaces create a very unwelcoming environment. Homeowners in Milford, DE wanted to change that.  Vents let in warm and cool air into the crawl space. This causes condensation and high humidity within the crawl space resulting in mold, odors, drafts and high utility costs. The humidity in the crawl space also causes the insulation to sag away from the subfloor making it useless. So solve this very common problem, Dr. Energy Saver installs CleanSpace encapsulation system. The vents and any other air leaks are sealed using insulated vent covers. Drainage matting is installed along the dirt floor of the crawl space. The drainage matting is dimpled to create air space for water to flow. SilverGLo is installed along the walls of the crawl space as an insulation barrier from the extreme temperatures outside. Finally, CleanSpace is installed on top of the drainage matting. After the encapsulation process is complete, the homeowner's will see results such as lower humidity, less drafts and lower utility costs.
