This crawlspace used to be a damp, humid space. By installing the CleanSpace vapor barrier around the perimeter of the crawlspace, we were able to seal off the crawlspace from the outside. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface. With this durable liner, we converted this crawl space into a usable storage area!
This crawlspace was letting water vapor and unconditioned air into the home, causing high heating and cooling costs and moisture problems. In addition to encapsulating the space, our team installed SilverGlo and TerraBlock insulations, increasing the energy efficiency of the whole home.
In the before picture you can see our Drain matting and SilverGlo rigid insulation already installed. From there we installed our CleanSpace liner, our specially designed Sanidry - CX air purifier dehumidifier, and a SmartSump pump to keep the space clean and dry.
When we arrived at this Stratford, CT crawl space, it was a damp, debris-filled space. The old fiberglass insulation was falling from the ceiling because it was too waterlogged and heavy to stay up. We removed all the ineffective fiberglass insulation and replaced it with our SilverGlo insulation. SilverGlo combines highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. Combined with the TerraBlock floor insulation, we were able to seal the walls from outside moisture and humidity infiltration.
Groundwater was a problem for this Stratford, CT basement. It was seeping into the crawlspace and causing problems with humidity and mold. The SmartSump system provides excellent protection from groundwater leaks, and has the added benefits of a cast-iron Zoeller sump pump, a reliable liner, a sump alarm, and an optional battery backup sump pump. It's exactly what this crawl space needed to ensure a dry space all the time!
