This homeowner in Savannah, GA noticed moisture problems and wood rot in their crawlspace.

This nasty dirt crawl space had a busted pipe and was filled with debris, pooling water, and a damaged, inefficient liner. Installing a barrier between the dirt crawl space and the home can prevent groundwater leaks, water seepage, moisture, mold growth, and other damage. However, if it is an ineffective barrier, it will under-perform and your problems will persist. By adding our CleanSpace vapor barrier, the waterproofing specialists at Lowcountry Foundation Repair were able to transform this nasty, damp crawl space into a clean storage area, protecting it against moisture seepage, water infiltration, air leaks, and fixing the busted pipe. Combined with our SilverGlo® foam board crawlspace installation, we further boosted home health, energy-efficiency, and value!

A nasty, wet crawl space can cause major concerns for the foundation of the home. As water vapor evaporates into the air in an unsealed crawlspace under the home, that moist air can cause mold growth, pooling water, wood rot, and insulation failure. Luckily the experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair have an effective, tried & tested solution to seal off moisture and protect the structure from damages related to high humidity. By sealing off a dirt crawl space from environmental moisture, the subfloor and supports of the structure are protected from rot while also creating a clean and secure area useful for storage. Also, by adding crawlspace insulation, there is an increase in the energy efficiency of the home. The team starts by insulating and air sealing rim joists, as the perimeter can be a major source of air infiltration and heat loss. Then Foamax wall insulation is added, which insulates the perimeter walls of the crawlspace. This is the best possible thing to do for heating and cooling in a home with a crawlspace, especially if the AC unit also happens to be located in the crawlspace. Without encapsulation, the AC unit would become a breeding ground for mold.

A unencapsulated crawl space can cause a whole host of problems if left unattended.If left unsealed the crawl space can invite mold, mildew, and indoor allergen problems, as well as leave the home above uncomfortable, or with spongy floors that will need to be replaced due to moisture damage. Using our Clean Space Vapor Barrier, a thick, moisture resistant barrier, we've sealed this crawl space off from the potential dangers of an unfinished crawl space.
