The Drying Company Before & After Photos

This crawl space has a full-size door as an entry, this creates a large gap in the insulation on the crawl space walls, and it is not airtight. Regardless of how large the crawl space door is, this is always a concern when encapsulating. This is why we always installed a custom friction fit door behind every exterior crawl space door. It meets code by filling the gap and ensuring a continuous R-10 of insulation on the crawl space walls and also air seals. Keeping as much air carrying moisture as possible out of the crawl space. 

The old crawl space door has warped and doesn't fit neatly over the access, making it easy for small critters and pests to find their way in. 

An interior friction fit door that offers an R-10 of insulation was installed behind the new Crawl space door. The new door will not rust, rot, warp or fade, and meets most HOA requirements. 

Moisture has been wreaking havoc in this crawl space for years resulting in damage to the fiberglass insulation, mold/mildew growth on the floor joists, and poor indoor air quality.

All of the old and damaged materials have been cleaned out, mold and mildew were treated with antimicrobial, all vents were sealed, a heavy-duty vapor barrier installed, Spray Foam insulation was applied to the crawl space walls, a friction fit crawl space door is installed, the rim band and sill plate are sealed, and a dehumidifier is installed to control the relative humidity in the crawl space and help prevent future microbial growth.

This Williamsburg, VA homeowner was looking for a solution to keeping leaves and debris out of their gutters and having to clean their gutters. We replaced their old open gutters with the Gutter Shutter system which includes a hood that allows water in but keeps leaves and debris out, keeping our client off of the roof and off of ladders cleaning their gutters. 

This Williamsburg homeowner had concerns about moisture damage in their crawl space and wanted to install an encapsulation system to help protect their home's foundation. The encapsulation system will help to control the relative humidity under the home, preventing moisture damage to the wood substructure such as microbial growth and wood rot. Further, it will also help with musty odors and humidity that had been finding their way into the home, reduce energy bills, and help with cold floors in the winter.
