Crawl Space Repair Case Studies: Conditioning a Crawl Space in Louisa, VA

Moldy fiberglass batting was removed from under the floor and properly disposed of.

Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System is installed. A dimpled plastic drainage matting is put down on the crawl space floor first to create an air space between the CleanSpace and the earth. Our heavy duty, 20 mil thick CleanSpace liner is then installed permanently across the dirt floor.

The crawl space walls are insulated with SilverGlo insulation. SilverGlo foam has graphite infused into the foam to increase the R-value by 24% over standard EPS foam.

CleanSpace is sealed with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. CleanSpace features Ultrafresh antimicrobial ingredients in the product.

To reduce heat loss and infiltration of cold air, the rim joist area is sealed and insulated with closed cell polyurethane spray foam.

A SmartDrain is installed in the crawl space. A SmartDrain System is a crawl space drain that includes a bottomless liner and an airtight lid. If a plumbing failure occurs, this system will drain the water beneath the vapor barrier, preventing it from collecting in the space.

An EverLast crawl space door is installed. These doors are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Unlike wood crawl space doors, EverLast doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting.

The Clean Space System reduces moisture and humidity below the home, makes the home more energy efficient, and comes with a 25 year warranty!
