Crawl Encapsulation in Upper Marlboro, MD

This Upper Marlboro homeowner called in saying that they were worried that their crawl space insulation and vapor barrier was dated and in desperate need of an upgrade. Our Home Comfort Specialist, James, went out to their home to investigate and find out how we could help. After a thorough inspection, James confirmed their fears that the insulation was in need of an upgrade along with a new vapor barrier. Next, our Home Comfort Technicians, lead by Alfredo, dive into the crawl and begin removing the old insulation and vapor barrier. Once removed, we install the new 20 millimeter vapor barrier in order to block moisture from rising into the conditioned space. We follow that up with installing a dehumidifier, this way, we can allow air to constantly move and not sit still causing mold issues. The final step is to spray foam the exterior walls of the crawl space. The spray foam will act as an insulator and block any moisture that will eventually seep through the foundation. 

The happy homeowner loved the look of their new crawl and loved seeing their energy bill go down even more!
