Moisture + Organic Material (Wood) = Mold
When we encapsulate a crawl space we remove the water and reduce the humidity, preventing mold from growing.
Moisture Vapor
Although this crawl space may appear to be bone dry, you can't see the moisture vapor the earth is giving off. However, you can see evidence of excess humidity in the form of mold.
Falling Insulation due to Water Weight
There is nothing wrong with the underpinning that holds the insulation up, next to the subfloor. There is a problem with the humidity in the crawl space. The insulation has absorbed some of the water vapor, weighing it down, causing it to sink and fall from the underpinning.
