Area Under Elberton, GA Home Encapsulated with CleanSpace Liner

This homeowner was worried about the area under their home because it had a strange smell and seemed wetter in this area. It was a problem that they had been experiencing for awhile, but finally decided to give us a call when they learned about the problems that could come along with the high humidity level. Our System Design Specialist was able to head out to the home and figure out exactly what to do to solve the problems they were having.

The "before" photo shows the area that the homeowner was worried about. As you can see, someone had laid out some plastic over the the dirt to try to keep the moisture in, but because nothing was sealed, the plastic did not do much to keep the moisture in. Another big issue that can be seen in the picture is the open vents at the top of the wall. Open vents allow outside air into the crawlspace, which is not something we want, especially with an encapsulation.

The "after" photo shows a much different place than before, it looks completely different! Our crew installed CleanSpace Liner that covered the entire area, covering all of the floor and the majority of the walls of the crawlspace. Every part of the CleanSpace is sealed up along the walls, which prevents water and moisture from getting through. We also installed a dehumidifier to make sure that the humidity level stays lower than 55%, so that mold in not able to grow.
