Crawl Space Encapsulation Photo Album: Crawl Space Goes from Smelly and Dirty to Healthy and Clean in Morganville, NJ
We're going to transform this wet and dirty crawl space to a dry and clean one in Morganville, NJ
Level the Playing Field
First, we removed all the contaminated insulation and debris, leveled the ground for proper draining, and installed a drainage matting, which is a dimpled plastic mat material, over the dirt-floor crawl space.
Dimpled Plastic
This allows all excess moisture to work its way over to the new sump pump we installed.
Vapor Barrier
Next, we installed a vapor barrier which is a 20-mil 7-ply sandwich of high and low-density polyethylene that is treated with an antimicrobial finish that protects against mold and mildew growth.
SilverGlo™
Next, we installed SilverGlo™ which is a waterproof foam insulation that seals the walls from outside moisture and humidity to the walls of the crawl space.
A Healthy Crawl Space
Now the homeowner has a dry, clean, and healthy crawl space that is also perfect for storage!
