When we arrived at this home, the crawlspace was wet and debris-filled. It was letting unconditioned air into the house, increasing energy costs for the homeowners. By encapsulating the space with the CleanSpace vapor barrier, we were able to seal the crawlspace off from the outside and prevent mold-causing humidity from entering the home. The owners of this house now have a clean, dry, energy-efficient crawlspace environment!
The moisture in this Norwalk, CT crawlspace caused the fiberglass insulation to grow heavy and fall, where it became a perfect place for mold to grow. Fiberglass insulation is not the best choice for a space where moisture is a problem. Our SilverGlo insulation is different; it creates a vapor barrier on the walls that keeps moisture from making its way inside. SilverGlo is the ideal crawlspace insulation!
This old crawlspace used to have a moisture problem. Water and water vapor would seep into the home, causing the fiberglass insulation to grow heavy and fall. We put in new insulation to replace it. However, SilverGlo wall insulation and TerraBlock floor insulation won't absorb moisture, support mold or deteriorate over time, making them perfect for this crawlspace! They work alongside the CleanSpace vapor barrier to create a dry crawlspace environment that will last for years to come!
In this Norwalk home the homeowners had a continuing moisture issue in their crawlspace. The crawlspace was dirty and very humid when they would go down there. The homeowners called the experts at CT Basement Systems and we fixed the issue on the first visit. We installed our vapor barrier which not only keeps the moisture from coming through the walls and floor but it also keeps the crawl space clean. The homeowners also had us install our crawl space insulation which is a great way to seal off your walls, while also saving money on your energy bills!
SilverGlo™ combines highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. This gives your crawl space walls an unbroken plane of R-11 insulation.
A homeowner located in Norwalk, CT had a nasty crawlspace that they were looking to encapsulate. They called us at Connecticut Basement Systems to find a proper solution! After setting an appointment, one of our Salesmen, Mike Bourdeau, went to the home to evaluate and measure the crawlspace and then propose a solution with our encapsulation systems.
Soon after it would be time for one of our Foremen, Clive Burrel, and his crew to install this job. They installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier throughout the entire space, on the walls and floors. This will protect the entire space from moisture and eliminate any musty odors. Then they installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier that will eliminate moisture in the air and prevent mold growth. To keep the space energy efficient, RimJoist insulation was installed to keep the temperature throughout the space and the rest of the home regulated properly.
This crawlspace was truly transformed from something nasty to something clean and moisture-free! The homeowner has peace of mind knowing what is below them will keep their home healthy.
