Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Insulating a Crawl Space in Wilton, Maine

We helped homeowners of this Wilton, Maine crawl space with insulating the area because they had experienced frozen pipes and wanted to prevent it from happening again. Most crawl spaces are treated as "outdoor" space, with outside air and moisture easily coming in, which puts the home systems at risk for damage. We encapsulated the crawl space to bring it into the building envelope, by installing drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier. We also installed Spray Foam insulation on the walls and rim joists, creating an air tight seal. Spray Foam is an excellent option for insulation in crawl spaces because it is water and mold resistant. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump to manage the groundwater, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the air moisture free.
