Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation for Moisture Control in Hollywood, Florida
Clara from Hollywood, Florida, began noticing a musky odor throughout her home, which led her to suspect there might be problems in the crawl space beneath the house. She called us at LRE Foundation Repair, and our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a free appointment with one of our Design Specialists to conduct a full home inspection. Upon inspecting the crawl space, our specialist quickly observed significant mold and mildew growth throughout the wooden support joists, causing extensive damage and contaminating the indoor air quality.
We created a plan to remove the mold and encapsulate the crawl space with the CleanSpace™ Crawl Space Encapsulation System to provide year-round protection against moisture damage. With Clara's approval, our team began executing the plan, meticulously sealing the entire crawl space with the CleanSpace system and installing Everlast Crawl Space Doors to create an airtight seal, preventing humid air and rodents from entering.
Once the work was completed, Clara felt relieved, knowing that the crawl space beneath her home was now safeguarded against moisture damage, and the air inside her home was fresh and free from pollutants.
Crawl Space Moisture Damage
Upon inspecting the crawl space, the LRE Design Specialist quickly identified a significant amount of mold and mildew growth, which had severely damaged the wooden support joists and contaminated the air inside the home.
Drainage Matting Installation
The LRE team begins installing the CleanSpace system by first placing drainage matting on the crawl space floor to help direct any incoming rainwater out of the area.
Crawl Space Moisture Barrier
The entire crawl space is sealed with the CleanSpace moisture barrier to protect the wooden support structure from moisture penetration and prevent mold growth.
Crawl Space Dehumidifier
To keep the air in the crawl space clean and dry all year round, a specialized dehumidifier is included with the implementation of the CleanSpace system.
Sealing Crawl Space Entrance
For added protection, the LRE team installed the EverLast Crawl Space Door at the entrance, providing an airtight seal to prevent humid air and pests from entering the crawl space.
