Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Hopkinsville, KY

This customer in Hopkinsville, KY, called due to their crawl space being very damp and a musty smell that was starting to permeate the first floor of the house. We recommended a crawl space encapsulation to mitigate the issue. This project included installing our drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. We also installed SilverGlo panels on the foundation walls for an added layer of insulation.

Crawl Space During Inspection

Moisture and musty smells are problems in this crawl space, which hasn't been properly sealed. The encapsulation treatment totally separates and protects the crawl space interior from outdoor conditions, keeping the space clean and dry.

Vents Sealed

Sealing your crawl space vents stops the cycle of cold, humidity, and moisture entering from the outside air.

Drainage Matting Installed

This dimpled plastic sheet material promotes good drainage over the entire crawl space floor.

Piers Wrapped with CleanSpace

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

SilverGlo Insulation Panels

Insulate crawl space walls with rigid foam: We install high-performance SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation against the crawl space walls. SilverGlo™ does what fiberglass can't: stop air leaks, never lose R-value, and never absorb or be damaged by moisture.

Crawl Space Insulation

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.

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

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

The SaniDry Sedona

The Sedona easily fits in small crawl spaces, yet has a powerful blower to effectively dry large crawl spaces. Mold and mildew are common in crawl spaces, but the Sedona keeps the relative humidity below 55%, so mold won't stand a chance.

Crawl Space Sealing Complete

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.
