Crawlspace With Wet Insulation in Pendleton, SC Gets New CleanSpace Encapsulation

There are many different signs of an increased moisture level under a home. One of the most obvious signs of moisture in a crawlspace is sagging of falling insulation. This happens because the water is soaked up by the insulation, as it is extremely absorbent. This can easily lead to more problems such as mold growth if nothing is done about the moisture problems.

This is what had begun to happen in this crawlspace. The moisture levels in the crawlspace had been increasing and the insulation was just soaking it all up like a sponge. While this was not a good thing, they homeowners had caught the problem before any real damage had been done. This gave our System Design Specialist a chance to assess what the crawlspace needed and what the best fix would be for the area.

Once the crew got out there they began to install our system. This system mainly consisted of the CleanSpace liner to encapsulate the area. The picture does a pretty good at showing how well our crews install the CleanSpace, it is laid down very tight to the ground and walls in order to utilize space and help to prevent the CleanSpace from being punctured or ripped off of the wall easily. It also makes the crawlspace look much, much better! The other important part of the installation was the dehumidifier that was installed, this ensures that the moisture level in the crawlspace stays below the threshold where mold can grow.
