Beginnings of Mold in Damp Crawl Space
Water damage is already affecting the support beams in the crawl space. Here, you can see slight warping and mold on a beam.
Fiberglass Insulation Absorbs Everything
One of the reasons fiberglass insulation is a bad choice for your crawl space is that it will basically turn into a giant filter - absorbing moisture and anything that's in the air, and ceasing to function as insulation.
Crawl Space Wreaks Havoc on Home
The other thing about fiberglass insulation is that, as it absorbs all of the moisture in the crawl space, it gets heavy. And then falls down. And then there's no insulation at all.
CleanSpace Installation in Progress
Before we could encapsulate the crawl space, we had to get rid of the debris already in there - plastic sheeting, old insulation, etc - and level out the area to create some clean, dry storage space.
Crawl Space No Longer a Nuisance
What was once dirty and damp and full of fallen insulation is now a clean, dry space that won't make your floors cold.
