This crawl space in Jeffersonville, KY, needed a proper repair system to help control the humidity levels. We started the encapsulation by insulating the walls with our SilverGlo insulation panels and by injecting spray foam over the rim joists. We then installed a dimpled waterproofing membrane across the crawl space floor, giving the CleanSpace vapor barrier we placed on top a raised, stable surface instead of sitting directly on the muddy ground. Next, we sealed the space with our white CleanSpace vapor barrier across the floor and up the walls. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the air in the sealed space conditioned and as dry as can be. The homeowner was happy with the outcome.
This crawl space was having trouble with moisture control. We fixed this problem by wrapping the crawl space in our CleanSpace lining, which is able to seal out moisture due to its inorganic composition. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which is built for keeping large spaces completely dry. We also added some rim joist insulation and some vent covers. Moisture won't be a problem any longer for this crawl space.
This home in Frenchburg, KY, was experiencing saggy floors above the crawl space. This was because the framing in their crawl space had started to rot from moisture damage. The concrete columns in the crawl space had settled as well, further causing the framing to warp. We replaced the main beam and sistered a large majority of the floor joists in the crawl space with new wood to ensure structural integrity. We then stabilized the main beam with our SmartJack crawl space posts to jack the framing back up to where it was before the sagging started. This process helped straightened out the floors above. This project displays what can happen to the framing in a crawl space if moisture is not contained.
After we encapsulated the crawl space, the homeowners finally had a reason to use it. They wanted to store some things down there, so they wanted a new access well that would make climbing in and out of the crawl space easier. We installed our Turtl door, which comes with a locking capability, perfect for anyone who wishes to store valuables in their crawl space. The Turtl is also super strong, weather resistant, and looks great.
