Before and After Pictures from West Point
Sealing a Crawl Space in West Point, VA

Sealing a Crawl Space in West Point, VA

Before After
Sealing a Crawl Space in West Point, VA Sealing a Crawl Space in West Point, VA

The ground cover in this crawl space was a 6-mil, a similar thickness to a trash bag, it is easily ripped and displaced. Because it is unsealed and has tears, the 6-mil ground cover allows moisture from the earth to affect the crawl space raising the relative humidity, damaging insulation, and causing microbial growth. 

After removing the 6-mil, we installed a 20-mil heavy-duty vapor barrier called CleanSpace, and is similar to the thickness of a pool liner. CleanSpace has a built-in Antimicrobial called UltraFresh. When we install the vapor barrier, we overlap and seal all seams, seal the liner to the walls 6-8 inches above outside grade, and wrap and seal all piers. By sealing the CleanSpace at all of these points, we are able to isolate the crawl space from the earth's moisture.

Want to get my house insulated better. It was built in 1943. Hot air/cold air comes in through the closets and attic during summer and winter. Looking to lower the electric bills and help improve efficiency.
Project Location: West Point, VA
Purchased house 2 years ago and had crawl space encapsulated with dehumidifier installed. Dehumidifier has Error Code that I cannot get to go away, the company that installed it is useless, the manufacturer of dehumidifier is out of North Carolina and they are offering no assistance. So, dehumidifier is not working and I need to purchase a new one. Can I purchase a dehumidifier from your company?

I have a bonus room above the garage that I would like to get a quote on having insulated. The floor space is about 408 square feet. The floor does not need to be insulated, the walls and cieling do. Total space for that is roughly 600 square feet. This room is a second floor room and the wall above the knee wall is the roof rafter. Thanks
