Wet Crawl Space in Fennville, MI
Sagging insulation is an unexpected but major sign of moisture problems in a crawl space. Fiberglass insulation absorbs the ambient moisture in the crawl space and eventually sags with the weight.
Musty Crawl Space Before Encapsulation
A crawl space doesn't have to be under 3 feet of water to be a menace. This one looks harmless on the surface, but its inadequate water drainage is wreaking havoc on the home that sits above it.
New Sump Pump Provides Solution to Slow Draining Water
Floor drains are great if you never have actual flooding problems. But the ground beneath the drain can only take so much water before it hits its saturation point and then you're left with water hanging out in your crawl space, stinking up the place. By installing a sump pump with discharge lines that carry the water away from the house, water will be removed proactively instead of passively.
Crawl Space Encapsulation in Progress
We install the CleanSpace vapor barrier system right up to the walls and extend it onto the SilverGlo insulation panels to ensure a tight seal against the elements.
Encapsulated Crawl Space in Fennville, MI
With CleanSpace and SilverGlo panels installed, the crawl space will be dry and the home above it will be warmer and without mildew. A win-win!
