Dirt Floor of Crawlspace
While all of the ground in this picture is completely dry, there were areas that were much worse, and unfortunately it doesn't really do much good to only encapsulate a small area, because the problem is not really being taken care of. This entire space was encapsulated to make sure that the water stayed out of the crawlspace and not cause any further problems.
Damp Ground and Old Crawlspace Liner
This photo gives a much different story than the last. This photo actually shows the moisture on the ground. The other big thing that can be seen in this photo is the previous crawlspace liner. Many homes have these liners, but very few of these liners are actually effective, this one is all balled up and there is wet ground all around the liner. As said before, the CleanSpace Liner covers the entire crawlspace floor and usually most of the walls, this prevents moisture from getting into the crawlspace.
Wet and Fallen Insulation
Here is another interesting picture showing how the moisture had gotten to the insulation. This is common when a lot of moisture is in a crawlspace, the water vapor drifts upwards and sticks to whatever has the least resistance, which is often the insulation or floor joists. When the water sticks to the insulation, it begins to weigh it down, which is exactly what happened to this piece of insulation.
Encapsulated Crawlspace
Here is a picture of the installed CleanSpace liner, and how it was wrapped around the pipes and wires. The crews do a great job of working around these obstacles, while still doing their very best in order to seal the crawlspace.
Another view of Installed CleanSpace
This picture shows more of the encapsulated crawlspace. This gives a wider view of the installed CleanSpace and actually shows one of the seams in the liner.
SaniDry Upright Dehumidifier
Here is the dehumidifier that we installed in this home, it wasn't actually installed in the crawlspace of the home, but in an adjacent room. Our crew installed a duct kit in order for the dehumidifier to cycle the air in the crawlspace, without actually having to be in the same area.
