This customer found a big mess in their crawlspace with falling insulation, water, rodent infestation and mold. To address the issue we installed a full encapsulation.
Many companies still like to use fiberglass as insulation in a crawlspace, but since it is made to exist within a six sided box, a crawlspaces environment doesn't work for it. The access to moisture and critters causes many issues. It is an inviting bedding material for some animals, and also absorbs moisture, holding it against wooden portions of the foundation, leading to mold and mildew. This homes fiberglass was falling down from moisture and had mold spores. After clearing the crawlspace, we applied mold X and did a full encapsulation to give this home insulation made to last!
Fiberglass insulation absorbs water and droops from the weight. It grows mold and mildew, and can be an inviting nesting material for critters. With so many reasons not to use it, we are proud to provide proper insulation to another home. Ultimately keeping it dry, healthy, and lowering its heating and cooling costs.
Since 1974 we have been dedicated to provide the long term solutions for home waterproofing and health. For insulating a crawlspace this means removing old fiberglass insulation and installing TerraBlock over the floor and Spray Foam along the walls.
This homeowner called us up for a vapor barrier replacement. Their old fiberglass insulation had water vapor getting into it and that would pull the insulation down and cause the homes heating bills to go up. After a free inspection and hearing about our crawlspace encapsulation solution they were ready to upgrade to an insulation system that is made to last in a crawlspace!
