This crawl space has a full-size door as an entry, this creates a large gap in the insulation on the crawl space walls, and it is not airtight. Regardless of how large the crawl space door is, this is always a concern when encapsulating. This is why we always installed a custom friction fit door behind every exterior crawl space door. It meets code by filling the gap and ensuring a continuous R-10 of insulation on the crawl space walls and also air seals. Keeping as much air carrying moisture as possible out of the crawl space.
The old crawl space door has warped and doesn't fit neatly over the access, making it easy for small critters and pests to find their way in.
An interior friction fit door that offers an R-10 of insulation was installed behind the new Crawl space door. The new door will not rust, rot, warp or fade, and meets most HOA requirements.
Moisture has been wreaking havoc in this crawl space for years resulting in damage to the fiberglass insulation, mold/mildew growth on the floor joists, and poor indoor air quality.
All of the old and damaged materials have been cleaned out, mold and mildew were treated with antimicrobial, all vents were sealed, a heavy-duty vapor barrier installed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the crawl space walls, a friction fit crawl space door is installed, the rim band and sill plate are sealed, and a dehumidifier is installed to control the relative humidity in the crawl space and help prevent future microbial growth.
Cleaning out their crawl space in preparation for a project, this client used our Junkluggers of Williamsburg division to remove items that had been stored under their home. Lawn furniture, old toys, and outdoor equipment had been stacked in the crawl space and gone unused for quite some time.
The Junkluggers will focus on donating whatever they can. Any items that can't be donated will be delivered to local recycling centers to reduce waste going into our landfills.
