Condensation Dripping from Wood
The humidity in the crawl space was so high that condensation was raining down from the wood supporting the floor.
Closer View of Condensation & Wet Joists
The condensation in this crawl space was collecting on the joists above the cold AC ducts.
Water Seeping in
The crawl space walls had efflorescence stains from water coming through the brick wall into the crawl space.
Wet Crawl Space Insulation
The high humidity in this crawl space was causing condensation to saturate the insulation.
Mold Growth on Ground
In some areas of the crawl space, there was mold growing on the ground from high humidity.
Very High Humidity Measurement
A 90 percent humidity measurement in the crawl space was measured. Once this humid air moves close to the cold AC ducts, condensation will form.
Animal Droppings in Fallen Insulation
The moist and cool conditions of the crawl space had drawn in critters to the hospitable environment. With a CleanSpace Encapsulation, these critters will be less interested in entering the space.
Falling Insulation
Once the insulation becomes saturated with moisture, it hangs or falls down, ultimately defeating the purpose of the subfloor insulation in the first place. Our vapor barrier system tackles both moisture and creating a thermal boundary.
Encapsulated Crawl Space with SaniDry
Here is a crawl space after a complete transformation from a nasty, moldy, wet space to a clean, dry, conditioned space.
Vapor Barrier Sealed Up the Walls
A proper vapor barrier system is sealed up the walls to the local termite gap standard.
Future Floor Support
After encapsulating the crawl space, the wood supporting the floor is protected from moisture & humidity damage. The areas of the floor that were weakened by the moisture issue can be supplementally supported later on with our SmartJack Support System.
