This formerly wet and humid crawl space got a brand new look and feel with our CleanSpace encapsulation system. Made from a 20mil thick, 7-layer polyethylene composition, our CleanSpace is the most durable vapor barrier on the market. Suitable for both floors and walls, once installed it provides the ultimate protection against moisture and humidity.
After moving into their new home in Lawtey just a month ago, this homeowner quickly noticed water pooling around the back porch was made worse by clogged gutters and poor drainage. While cleaning the gutters was a good first step, it wasn’t enough to keep moisture out of the crawl space.
To address the issue at its core, we installed a full encapsulation system featuring a SaniDry dehumidifier to control humidity levels and a SmartSump pump to actively remove water intrusion. This combination helps protect the foundation, reduce mold risk, and ensure a dry, healthy environment beneath the home.
Now, this crawl space is equipped to stay dry even when heavy rains hit.
Moisture causes a subfloor to rot by creating the perfect conditions for mold and decay. When wood gets wet, it absorbs water, softens, and becomes a breeding ground for fungi. Over time, these fungi eat away at the wood, causing it to weaken and rot. Poor ventilation, leaks, or standing water make the problem worse, speeding up the damage and putting the subfloor at risk.
Due to excess moisture in the crawl space, the floor joists began to warp and become damaged, affecting the floor above. Our team carefully removed and disposed of the rotted materials and replaced the floor with new lumber to ensure an even, safe, and structurally sound floor.
This formerly damp and musty crawl space got a brighter, drier, and healthier environment with our crawl space encapsulation system. Moisture nor humidity stand a chance against this crawl space now.
