Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Sargentville, Maine

Homeowners in Sargentville, Maine reached out for a free estimate to have their crawl space encapsulated. The dirt floors were allowing moisture to easily seep in, and over time moisture had caused their old fiberglass insulation to fail. Water can also cause the wooden support beam and floor joists to have mold or rot over time, so encapsulation keeps your home protected from the ground up! We installed drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier liner, which work together to control groundwater and seal out moisture. A TripleSafe sump pump handles over 6,000 gallons of water per hour if needed, removing the groundwater and pumping it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. We installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which not only controls the humidity levels, but also has a MERV 8 filter to remove allergens from the air, like mold spores. Finally, Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists. Spray Foam expands as it is applied, so it easily fills any gaps and cracks, keeping outside air out. Spray Foam is also water and mold resistant, so it is a great option to use in crawl spaces.
