Crawl Space Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Lenox, MA called us to their home because they were experiencing water and moisture in their crawlspace. This home had a nasty, dirt crawlspace which most people assume does not effect your home's comfort and energy efficiency as much as it does! We got right to work.

We removed all of the old, nasty insulation any debris in the crawlspace. Now, we install our dimpled plastic drainage matting across the floor to create an airspace and thermal break. TerraBlock™ floor insulation is installed over the dimpled drainage mat. Finally, the heavy-duty, 20 mil thick CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner is installed permanently across the dirt floor - sealed with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. This will keep water and moisture out of the crawlspace, and make this home more comfortable and energy efficient!

This homeowner wanted to reduce energy loss through the basement of this home.  There was a vented crawl space with a dirt floor which allowed cold air to enter the home in the winter and warm humid air to enter in the summer.  Our Team installed our CleanSpace encapsulation System with Drainage Matting, TerraBlock floor insulation and SilverGlo Insulation on the walls.  This home will be less drafty, more comfortable year round and the fuel and electricity bills will be lower.  

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!
