Crawl Space Insulation Before & After Photos

Rebecca needed help with the crawlspace in her Moundsville, WV home.   She found evidence of mold and was having trouble keeping the temperature  in the rooms above the crawlspace comfortable.   Rebecca began looking online to find out how to deal with the problems.  She found the Home Environment Solutions website and the answers to all of her questions.   

Rebecca met with Russell Jenkins and explained her concerns.  Russ examined the crawlspace and drew up a free estimate for Rebecca.   They sat down together and Russ walked her through the process.  The Mold would need remediated, the loose falling insulation would need replaced and the crawlspace would need encapsulated.   The crawlspace was also air sealed with closed cell spray foam and an insulated vent cover.

Nick contacted Home Environment Solutions because of visible mold, musty odors, and concerns about the condition of the crawl space beneath his home. Many homeowners don't realize that the air in a crawl space naturally rises into the living areas above, meaning problems below the home can affect the entire indoor environment.

When we inspected the crawl space, we found moisture-related conditions that had led to mold growth and created the perfect environment for musty odors and poor air quality.

Our team began by cleaning and remediating the affected areas to safely remove microbial growth and restore a clean environment. Once the crawl space was sanitized, we focused on permanently controlling moisture.

We installed a complete crawl space encapsulation system using a durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, drainage matting, and insulation to separate the home from the damp earth below. We also sealed and insulated the rim joists to reduce outside air infiltration and improve energy efficiency.

Encapsulation does much more than make a crawl space look clean. It helps control moisture, discourages future mold growth, improves indoor air quality, and creates a healthier, more energy-efficient home from the ground up.

Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and protected, and the home above benefits from fresher air, improved comfort, and long-term moisture control.

The crawl space above was underneath an over 100 year old Victorian home.  When Home Environment Solutions first entered the home it wasn't safe for children or adults.  The mold spore count in this homes air was at dangerous levels.  As air leaks out of the attic it is replaced with air that enters through the basement, this is known as the stack effect.  This means that the majority of air in this persons home was coming from their crawl space.  This is why its so important to have your crawl space encapsulated.  

After removing the mold from this home, Home Environment Solutions encapsulated their crawl space using CleanSpace lining.  The lining prevents any future moisture from entering into the crawl space.  The process involves closing crawl space vents and insulating the walls.  Call Home Environment Solutions today for your free estimate. 

The end results are a safe clean space for your family.  Protect your largest investment, protect your family, have your crawl space encapsulated today! 

This single family home in Wheeling, WV has a crawl space under the entire span of the home. When our team began the job, the crawl space was vented and had a dirt floor creating humidity and mold issues as well as uncomfortable temperatures in the living space above.

Our Home Environment Solutions team went in and insulated the walls, installed vent covers and encapsulated the entire crawl space.

This family now has comfortable temperatures in their living spaces and humidity levels that do not promote mold growth, creating a healthier, safer home.
