Before - mold on joists
Mold needs warm temperatures, high relative humidity and organic material to grow. In our area, crawl spaces create the perfect environment for this. When wood moisture reaches 19% the opportunity for wood rot occurs.
After - Antimicrobial Wipedown
A physical wipedown of the joists with an antimicrobial killed and removed the mold growing on the wood.
Before - Falling insulation
Insulation becomes saturated with moisture and coupled with gravity, begins to fall from the floor joists.
Before - Falling insulation
Traditional R-19 fiberglass bats, between the joists, tend to act like a sponge and absorb moisture. This results in the batts falling as well as holding moisture against the joists, promoting wood rot and mold growth.
After - Foamboard
FoamBoard insulation is fastened to the wall to create a continuous layer of insulation on the foundation walls.
Before - Air Handler
The air handler is housed in the crawl space and surrounded by mold on joists, falling insulation, dirt and debris.
After - Air Handler
The air handler is now housed in a clean, dry space.
Before - Vapor Barrier
The vapor barrier in this crawl space is the traditional 6-mil installed at construction. In some areas it is completely missing. This typically occurs as service people crawl on the thin material and cause it to tear and shift.
After - CleanSpace
Clean Space is overlapped 12" and taped with heavy-duty tape, it is mechanically fastened to the crawl space walls and wrapped around piers. CleanSpace is durable and perfect for crawl spaces that are used for storage or house equipment because it can stand up to service people working and crawling on it.
Before - Well Pump In Crawl Space
The Well Pump is surrounded by dirt, debris, and falling insulation.
After - Well Pump in crawl space
The well pump is now in a clean, dry, controlled environment.
