Home Insulation Services Photo Album: Encapsulating a Crawl Space in Bethany Beach, DE.
Homeowner's in Bethany Beach had problems with their moldy crawl space and needed a solution quickly.
Their crawl space was vented, which allows warm and cool air to flow in and out. The constant flow of air creates condensation and humidity within the crawl space. This allows the insulation to sag away from the sub floor, making it useless. This creates mold and smelly insulation.
Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva solves this problem by removing the existing insulation and encapsulating the crawl space. SilverGlo insulation is applied to the walls, drainage matting across the dirt floor and a CleanSpace liner with Ultrafresh anti-microbial ingredients.
Now the crawl space can be fresh and clean while also lowering humidity and utility costs.
Sagging Insulation
Due to the constant flow of warm and cool air, it creates humidity within the crawl space. This allows the insulation to sag away from the sub floor, making it useless.
