Photo Album: What a Difference the CleanSpace Made in an Atlanta, MI Home

Our friends Lorne & Linda began experiencing a cold and damp crawl space in Atlanta, MI. They could feel the cold air rising from the crawlspace below their home. The couple admitted to us that they had begun struggling with breathing issues. Upon sending a System Design Specialist to assess their crawl space, we recommended our patented CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system to address the issues at hand. The CleanSpace encapsulation product is a super durable plastic lining that entirely seals off the crawl space from the tough elements faced below. We also discovered moldy insulation and replaced it with spray foam insulation that is not prone to the formation and growth of mold. Lorne and Linda elected to stay with the sump pump they had put in only a few years prior. The couple wisely chose to have the SaniDry Sedona installed, the SaniDry is a high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system. In our friend’s crawl space, the Sedona will help prevent mold and reduce musty odors, giving them dry and healthy air.

Sometime You Can't Do Things Yourself

In the past Lorne & Linda tried to encapsulation their crawlspace on their own. The result was a continuously cold crawl space with a high moisture content.

Oh my Gosh, There's Mold!

There was a lot of moisture and condensation in this couple's crawl space. The mold feasting on their insulation sure didn't seem to mind! However, we were concerned because this was creating an extremely unsafe health hazard for our friends.

Eliminating the Hazards from Our Friend's Crawl Space

The first thing our crew did was remove the faulty encapsulation system, the moisture and all of the moldy insulation directly above it.

Look At The CleanSpace Difference

The CleanSpace encapsulation system has now been installed in Lorne & Linda's home. This system will begin lowering the moisture level and improving the energy efficiency of their home almost immediately.

SilverGlo Panels Create Warmth

Our friends elected for us to install SilverGlo wall paneling. SilverGlo panels are constructed very differently than other types of insulation. These panels contain tiny graphite particles that permeate its foam insulation, this is what gives the panel that silver shine. These tiny particles serve a functional purpose besides just looks, they reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity for superior R-value insulation.

Out With The Moldy, In With The Healthy

To replace the mold insulation previously removed, we used spray foam insulation. This will help ensure mold does not come back and provide maximum energy efficiency and comfort in this couple's home.

The EverLast Crawl Space Door Is A Lasting Solution

Lorne & Linda found the Everlast door to be a perfect crawlspace entrance solution. EverLast crawlspace doors are made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible. Unlike wood crawl space doors, EverLast doors will never warp, crack, shrink or require maintenance or painting. An air and water seal are certain, thanks to the heavy-duty weather stripping that comes with each EverLast door.
