Old Crawlspace Door in Waynesville, NC Replaced with EverLast Door

There are many different ways for moisture to get into a crawlspace, from the floors, walls, and even the entrance. Seldom do we work in a crawlspace where the homeowner already has a proper door to keep the majority of moisture out. This doesn't mean that homeowners don't have nice-looking crawlspace doors, it is just that the doors aren't effective at keeping moisture out. 

This crawlspace door matched the outside of the home and looked great when it was shut. However, it didn't do a great job at keeping the moisture from getting into the crawlspace. It was also made of wood, which while it may not seem like a problem, it provides a great place for moisture to soak into and for mold to grow. Having an old door like this partially defeats the purpose of having the CleanSpace liner installed in the crawlspace because it's a huge area where moisture can get into the crawlspace at. 

In order to protect this crawlspace from as much moisture as possible, our crew removed the old crawlspace door and installed a new EverLast door. The EverLast door is a much better option for a few different reasons, one of the biggest being that it creates an airtight seal which prevents any moisture from getting into the crawlspace from the door. Another important feature of the door is that it is made of a completely inorganic material, which means that it will never rot and mold cannot grow on it.
