Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Odessa, FL
Steph D. faced an unexpected obstacle during their home renovation project in Odessa, FL, when they uncovered a mold issue. Recognizing the urgency of addressing this problem not only for their renovation plans but also for their indoor air quality, they reached out to LRE Foundation Repair for immediate assistance. LRE's expert Design Specialist conducted a full-home inspection, revealing significant mold buildup in the crawl space beneath the home. A customized plan was devised to not only eradicate the mold but also ensure long-term crawl space protection by managing moisture, airflow, and pest control. To provide a long-term solution, the Design Specialist recommended the installation of our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The LRE team went to work sealing the crawl space with a waterproofing liner, preventing moisture accumulation and safeguarding wooden joists from mold growth. Steph D. was delighted to safeguard one of their most important investments—their home—by successfully implementing the CleanSpace Encapsulation System.
Crawl Space Mold Accumulation
Florida's frequent storms and humid climate create an environment where crawl spaces often become moisture traps, resulting in mold growth.
Crawl Space Deterioration
In addition to facilitating the growth of mold, excessive moisture buildup will cause the joists and other support components to deteriorate.
Mold and Mildew Damage
Mold and mildew can harm a home's structural integrity and cause air pollution, which can lead to a variety of health issues.
Drainage Matting Installation
Included with the CleanSpace Encapsulation System is the installation of drainage matting. Flooding water can travel through the raised dimples in this matting, which is positioned beneath the crawl space liner, and toward the perimeter drain or sump pump system.
Complete Encapsulation Installation
The installation of the CleanSpace Encapsulation System is complete. The plastic liner, which extends throughout the entire crawl space and covers the drainage matting underneath, offers superior waterproofing and insulation.
