Before Encapsulation
Before encapsulation, this crawl space was a wet, humid dirty space.
High Wood Moisture & Mold
This joist in the crawl space with mold growth present had very high moisture readings of 20 percent.
Water Dripping From Joists
In some areas of the crawl space where the AC was blowing or leaking cold air, this allowed condensation to build up on the joists and contribute to mold or rot.
Duct Dripping Water
Here is an example of what condensation looks like from high humidity in the crawl space.
After Encapsulation
After the crawl space was encapsulated, the moisture & humidity was sealed out and any excessive groundwater or humidity will be taken care of by a combination of the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and a powerful crawl space sump pump like the SmartSump.
No More Condensation on Ducts
After the crawl space is encapsulated, it essentially creates a conditioned space, eliminating condensation.
After Encapsulation
The crawl space will be usable as a storage space after being encapsulated since stored items will not get moldy or water damaged.
