Challenge

In Fairmont, MN, a homeowner noticed that his home was taking longer to heat up. Unsure of the cause, he decided to look into it and learned that having a poorly insulated crawl space could be the issue. The homeowner then decided to search for crawl space encapsulation and contacted us to schedule his FREE crawl space estimate.

Solution

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the crawl space. During the inspection, Lance noticed that the crawl space had dirt floors and explained to the homeowner that it was one of the common causes of high moisture levels. Having a dirt floor in your crawl space means that your home is not separated from the earth, causing insects, pets, moisture, and mold to easily enter the home. To fix this issue, Lance recommended CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating through the floors and walls, Drainage Matting, which creates a drainage space and between the CleanSpace and ground, Foamax, our foam insulation panel that helps control humidity, and SmartDrain, a plumbing system that drains water away to a drywell under the CleanSpace liner. After reviewing his proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with his suggestions.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 884 sqft of CleanSpace, 768 sqft of Drainage Matting, 224 sqft of Foamax, and 1 SmartDrain. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
