Crawl Space Encapsulation Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Rumson, NJ
Remove All the Debris
After completing our inspection, we removed all the debris out of the crawl space.
Drainage Matting
Then laid down a drainage matting. This dimpled plastic mat material is installed over a dirt-floored crawl space. The matting allows water to work its way over to the sump pump.
Put Down the Vapor Barrier
Next, we installed a vapor barrier. A vapor barrier is a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from getting into your crawl space. The vapor barrier is installed over the foundation walls and floor to create a continuous air and moisture barrier.
Install a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier.
Based on the size of the crawl space we installed a SaniDry XP commercial dehumidifier. These machines are a powerful energy-efficient dehumidifier that outperforms standard household dehumidifiers by as much as 10 times while using the same amount of energy to run. The SaniDry XP directs the extracted water pulled out of the air into the sump pump.
