This crawl space in Clarksville Tennessee was suffering from an extremely high moisture content. This was weighing the installation down and it was beginning to fall. The only thing mold needs to grow is a little bit of moisture and organic material. Concerned the homeowners reached out to Frontier Basement Systems for a free inspection. A design specialist was sent to their home. Together with the homeowners it was decided that a full encapsulation of their crawl space with CleanSpace was the right solution for their home. CleanSpace is a 20-mil thick vapor barrier designed to keep moisture and water out of a crawl space.
This Tennessee home had a big problem with moisture in its crawl space. For starters, their "sealed" dirt ground was more of a facade than anything! When the ground is not encapsulated properly, the moisture from the soil evaporates into the home. They also had an open-air vent that was letting in outside air. In the summer, the warmer air meets the cooler crawl space air and creates a higher relative humidity in the space. In the winter, it lets in all of the cold winter drafts that make your floors cold!
The excessive moisture was causing the pink insulation to mold and fall out. It is never good when your moist insulation is touching an organic beam that can easily rot and mold! This can cause major foundation issues in the future.
The homeowners decided it was time to call experts to help them with their space!
They called us, Frontier Basement Systems, and scheduled a free inspection with one of our trained inspectors. Our inspector then came to their home, checked out their crawl space, taking reference photos, and also a few moisture tests.
