Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Insulation & Encapsulation of Peaks Island, Maine Crawl Space

We recently helped property owners in Peaks Island, Maine to encapsulate and insulate their crawl space. They consistently experienced a musty smell, caused by moisture coming into the crawl space. We removed their old, failing fiberglass insulation and debris from the space. Our two-step encapsulation process involves a layer of drainage matting to control the groundwater, and then our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner which seals out moisture. CleanSpace is an inorganic material that is treated to prevent mold growth as well, keeping the home healthy and reducing odors. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists, providing immediate energy efficiency improvements to the home, as well as additional moisture protection. Not pictured, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which can remove over 100 pints of water from the air each day, and filters for allergens to reduce musty smells.
