Rodent in crawl space
Evidence of a rodent infestation
Mold on floor joist
High moisture levels contributed to the growth of mold and mildew
Moisture reading
We use a moisture reader during every crawl space evaluation to determine the level of moisture in the wood.
Ineffective vapor barrier
The vapor barrier is thin and has shifted away from the foundation wall.
Fallen, saggy insulation
This traditional batted insulation failed because of excessive moisture levels in the crawl space.
Messy crawl space
This messy crawl space has lots of moisture issues.
Dirt crawl space
Many areas in the crawl space were not covered in a vapor barrier and had exposed dirt.
After removing old insulation
We treated the wood with an antimicrobial.
After vapor barrier is installed
A durable vapor barrier now totally separates the home from the earth and is securely affixed to the wall.
After
The wood has a completely different appearance after being treated with an antimicrobial product.
