Photo Album: Crawlspace Encapsulation in Sarasota, FL

Murray H. was noticing strong odors coming from his crawlspace and knew there may be moisture damage. Before the odors could infiltrate his home, he decided to call LRE Foundation Repair for a possible solution. After a full home inspection, LRE discovered severe damage to the crawlspace area where water had pooled and humidity had caused mold growth and decay. LRE recommended a solution that would eliminate this homeowner's problems by installing our crawlspace encapsulation system. Crawlspace encapsulation involves a custom-designed system that covers and protects the crawlspace from floor to ceiling. First, the rotten wood supports are removed and replaced, and then materials like vapor barriers, buried drainage pipes, sump pumps to remove water, and dehumidifiers to keep the area dry and increase airflow are installed. Once this large project was complete, the homeowner was pleasantly surprised by the new and improved crawlspace area that was now odor-free and moisture-free.
