This St. Augustine crawl space had an exposed dirt floor, allowing ground moisture and humid air to enter the space. Without a protective barrier, this moisture could contribute to musty odors, mold growth, and damage to the wooden structure above.
To address the moisture problem, our crew installed a durable vapor barrier across the crawl space floor and carefully sealed it around the support columns. This creates a cleaner, drier environment by preventing ground moisture from entering the space.
After encapsulating the crawl space, our team installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air. This powerful system helps maintain healthy humidity levels and protects the crawl space from mold, musty odors, and wood rot.
Next, our crew installed a tightly sealed crawl space door to help block humid outdoor air, moisture, and pests from entering. This completes the enclosed environment needed for the encapsulation and dehumidifier to work effectively.
Finally, our crew installed an exterior drainage solution to collect groundwater and direct it safely away from the home. This helps prevent water from reaching the foundation and provides added protection for the newly encapsulated crawl space.
