Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Grant, AL

This customer in Grant, AL, called Frontier to encapsulate their crawl space in their new home. To start this project, we installed drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We finished the project with a new EverLast crawl space door. Sealing Your Crawl Space controls mold & rot, saves money on utilities, keeps away pests, seals away odors, prevents drafty floors, and increases your home's value while adding additional storage space.

Crawl Space Before Project

Before the crawl space is sealed you can see grass growing on the ground. Meaning there is air flowing through the crawl space. Left unchecked it will start to accumulate moisture, mold growth, and wood rot.

Piers Wrapped in CleanSpace

Piers are wrapped in CleanSpace® poly to create a continuous air and moisture barrier.

Drainage Matting is Installed

Drainage matting forms a permanent seal for leaking crawl space floors.

CleanSpace Installed

One key ingredient in our encapsulation system is the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable 20-mil plastic sheet designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air, and pests from entering your crawl space.

Crawl Space Sealed

Crawl space sealing and insulation will help you avoid unnecessary repairs, create a healthier living space, and save money on your utility bills. And once you've encapsulated your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you've gained valuable storage space in your home.

The SaniDry Sedona

Mold and mildew are common in crawl spaces, but the Sedona keeps the relative humidity below 55%, so mold won't stand a chance. As a high-efficiency dehumidifier, the Sedona removes more moisture (100 pints per day) for less electricity cost than conventional models.

Project Finished

Crawl space insulation can make your whole house more comfortable, improve the air quality, and reduce your energy costs. It's especially important to seal and insulate your crawl space if there's heating and cooling equipment, ducts, or plumbing in there.
