Crawlspace Entrance Fountain Inn, SC

Having a crawlspace door, or entrance, is a very important part of a healthy crawlspace. A lot of crawlspace entrances/doors have problems with them, whether it be that they don't shut all the way or because there are large gaps around the entrance. The product that was installed for this homeowner helps to solve all of these problems, and is called the Turtl Crawlspace Entrance.

The "before" photo shows off what the entrance to the crawlspace looked like before the Turtl was installed. As you can see, the homeowner actually had a pretty nice looking entrance, but an aesthetically pleasing entrance, does not mean it is a functional one. When these doors close, they leave huge  gaps for air to flow into the crawlspace. This allows moisture to accumulate in the crawlspace, especially during "wet" times when humidity levels are high.

The "after" picture shows a much different story than the previous picture. The solution in this photo is the Turtl, which does a much better job at keeping air out. It is hard plastic, so not only is it sturdy, but it won't absorb or let water into the crawlspace. One of the cool features that the Turtl has is that it has a built in area for a lock. While you probably won't have many people breaking into your crawlspace, this will help keep pests and children from getting into the crawlspace.
