A nasty, wet crawl space can cause major concerns for the rest of the structure. As water vapor evaporates into the home, this can cause mold growth, pooling water, structural damage, and more. Luckily the experts at Lowcountry Foundation Repair have an efficient solution with the vapor barrier which has been proven to protect against water seepage, air leaks, water intrusion, and more. By sealing off a dirt crawl space from the rest of the home, we can better protect the entire structure while also creating a clean and secure storage area! By adding crawlspace installation, we can further protect home health, energy-efficiency, and value. We start by insulating and air sealing rim joists, as the perimeter zone can be a major source of air infiltration and heat loss. Then we add SilverGlo® foam board wall insulation, which resists water absorption, mold growth, and water infiltration!
Many homeowners think that because their home was built on a dirt crawl space that it will not negatively impact the rest of the structure. Environmental moisture will eventually saturate in the crawlspace causing wood rot and mold growth. By adding the vapor barrier, we can isolate the crawl space from the rest of the home while also protecting it from water leaks, moisture seepage, unsafe contaminants, and more. As an added benefit, the vapor barrier also seals the below-grade space, transforming it into a clean and secure storage space!
To seal and preserve this customers crawl space, we installed out CleanSpace Vapor Barrier liner. With its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface.
Moisture was a problem for this customers crawl space. To ensure outside elements don't leak in, we sealed the space and installed a new EverLast Crawl Space Door.
Our crew did a fantastic job eliminating moisture from this crawl space by installing our Cleanspace Encapsulation System along with a Sanidry Sedona, creating a healthier living environment for the homeowners!
