Photo Album: Crawlspace Moisture Problems Solved in Lecanto, FL

Dan and Wendy M. noticed that the subfloor of their Lecanto, Florida home was being damaged by water in the crawlspace. They reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for a permanent solution to dry out the area. LRE conducted a thorough home inspection and determined that excess moisture was entering through the walls and access doors. The ideal solution for this issue was crawlspace encapsulation. This process involves using vapor barriers, moisture matting, and dehumidifiers to eliminate excess water, prevent future moisture intrusion, and regulate the climate under the home. As a result, the homeowners now have a completely dry and protected crawlspace from top to bottom, and their problem has been solved once and for all.

Crawlspace Exposed to Elements

This crawlspace area was exposed to moisture and water buildup that started affecting the foundation and subfloor above.

Crawlspace in Need of Encapsulation

Like a lot of crawlspaces, this one suffered from failing supports, insulation, and moisture buildup.

Access Through Subfloor

LRE was able to access this particular crawlspace from above ground due to the damaged and removed subfloor.

Moisture Matting Laid Out

This matting material is specifically designed to direct water away from the crawlspace area and towards pumps that will push the water out.

Vapor Barrier Installation

The vapor barrier is made of a material that stops moisture from entering the crawlspace air.

Crawlspace Encapsulation Progress

Once the encapsulation process is complete, the whole area is protected from future moisture damage, and leaves a clean, dry and easy-to-access space.
