The Drying Co. Case Studies: CleanSpace System and Spray Foam in Crawl Space - Midlothian, VA
Challenge
This Midlothian Home Owner contacted us because they were interested in encapsulating their crawl space. They knew they had moisture and mold concerns as well as falling insulation and an ineffective vapor barrier. They wanted to clean up their crawl space and keep it from ever looking like this again.
Solution
We started by removing all the old insulation, vapor barrier, and debris. We did a wipedown of the joists with an antimicrobial to remediate the mold. The CleanSpace System was installed next. All the seams were overlapped and sealed with vinyl tape. The liner is also attached to crawl space walls 6-8 inches above outside grade. The rim and band are sealed with foam and the vents are blocked from the inside and sealed. Spray Foam insulation is installed on the walls and a friction fit door is installed behind a new Everlast crawl space door.
