Photo Album: Vapor Barrier Installation in Wells, Maine Crawl Space

We recently helped homeowners in Wells, Maine who wanted to have a vapor barrier installed in their crawl space. We removed their old failing fiberglass insulation and graded the crawl space in prep for encapsulation. We then installed our two step system, first a layer of drainage matting followed by a CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. The drainage matting controls the groundwater, while the CleanSpace seals out moisture, keeping the crawl space protected. Spray Foam insulation was installed around the perimeter along the rim joists. Spray Foam not only improves energy efficiency, but it is also water resistant, acting as a vapor barrier. A SmartSump pump handles pumping groundwater away from the crawl space, and their new SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system controls the humidity to a healthy level, removing moisture from the air.
