Insulation Services Photo Album: Crawl Encapsulation in Little Silver, NJ

These customers had a few issues in their house that were affecting indoor air quality. One major problem being the two crawlspaces under the house. They were damp and musty, leaving the air in their house feeling thick and unclean. The thin plywood hatch was not doing much to stop the free flow of air into their home. Dr. Energy Saver knew how to help, we recommended encapsulating the crawlspace with our CleanSpace liner, insulating the exterior walls with polyiso foam board, and adding spray foam to the rim joists around the crawl to solve the customer's specific issues. This treatment will completely seal the house, separating it from the outside air that is coming in. To maximize the efficiency of the liner and to ensure that its warranty stays in tact, it is installed with dimple drainage mat on the floor underneath it. The dimple drainage mat will provide a thermal break from the cold ground and allow the water to drain towards the sump pump under the mat, keeping the area clean and dry. The customers were left with the fresh air they deserved in their house because their home was sealed blocking the outside air from coming in through the crawlspace.
