Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Farmhouse Crawl Space Encapsulated In Ovid, MI

This farmhouse crawl space had field stone walls and dirt floors which presented a high potential for moisture to get in. To limit the chances of moisture leading to rod, mold, musty smells, and a variety of other options, the homeowner chose to encapsulate the crawl space. We had just the product to help do that effectively. We installed out CleanSpace moisture barrier throughout. This material fastens well to walls and is difficult to tear, making it a far superior product to the plastic barriers that we generally find that have previously been installed in crawl spaces. In addition, we also spray foamed the rim joists and other entry points for humid air and moisture. This crawl space has undergone an incredible transformation. The homeowners now have a much dryer, brighter, and cleaner crawl space.

Field Stone Walls In Crawl Space

These stone walls in the crawl space are a great access point for moisture and were a cause for concern.

Insulation Falling

Over time, the insulation in the crawl space had fallen and had become ineffective. The underside of this home had become a mess of debris and moisture.

Humidity Is High

Mold only needs humidity levels of 70% to grow. The humidity level in this crawl space was in excess of 74%. The potential for damage to the home if this was remedied was fairly obvious.

CleanSpace Brightens The Space

CleanSpace makes the crawl space cleaner and more inviting. The space is dryer and safer.

Piers Wrapped With CleanSpace

The CleanSpace material was carried up both the walls and the piers as well to provide ultimate protection throughout and ensure that the crawl space stayed dry and safe.

Spray Foam Seals Access Points

Humid air and moisture can commonly enter the crawl space through rim joists. These were spray foamed to completely seal them and ensure that humidity levels were maintained at safe levels.
