Eliminating Mold in a Crawlspace in Pittsfield, MA

This home owner in Pittsfield, Ma had us come out to see what we can do for the mold problem in his basement. When we went into the basement we realized that there was a huge crawlspace. These areas can be pretty nasty environments due to the high levels of humidity that can be in crawlspaces. Mold will grow at a relative humidity level of 70%. To stop the humidity from rising past this threshold we must encapsulate the entire area. First this we do is install our Silverglo on the walls. This stop the conductive temperatures from getting into the crawlspace. (heat/cold moving through a solid surface) Then we lay down our dimple mat drainage mat so if any moisture comes through the floor it will collect in the dimples and evaporate without rising the relative humidity. Next step is to lay down our Terra-block insulation board down for some much needed R-value. Next step is to install the 20mil Cleanspace vapor barrier making sure all seems are tapped for a good seal. Last thing to do is to spray the rim joist and tie it into the encapsulation for a complete seal. After we are done, this home will not have mold in the basement ever again!
