Photo Album: Humid Crawlspace in Saint Petersburg, FL

Sam and Rachel D. of Saint Petersburg, Florida were dealing with a lot of humidity inside their home and wanted to take measures to stop it. Being previous customers of LRE Foundation Repair, they called on LRE again for the solution. LRE completed a whole home inspection, even accessing the tight crawlspace area, and determined exposure to outside elements and water infiltration had caused the moisture and mold buildup under the home. Before any more damage could occur, LRE treated the entire crawlspace with its CleanSpace Encapsulation service. CleanSpace involves the installation of a variety of materials and equipment designed to control moisture, improve airflow, and divert water outside of the crawlspace. This system covers every square inch with drainage matting, vapor barriers, and other drainage materials to keep the outside elements at bay. Once complete, these homeowners were pleased once more with LRE's completed project and dry home.
