We deal with a lot of crawl spaces that are underwater or have constant moisture problems. In this case John's crawl space was not in bad shape when we entered, however, it was not set up to keep external temperatures from entering the crawl space and affecting the comfort of his home. On the day of the job our crew began by installing our Clean space vapor barrier which when bolted to the walls of the crawl space creates a seal that prevents any moisture or pest from entering the crawl from below. Following the installation of the vapor barrier, our Technicians used a 2 part closed cell spray foam to insulate and seal the walls. This process restricts any air from coming through the vents or cinder blocks in the crawl. The final step of this encapsulation is to install a dehumidifier that regulates the humidity to a consistent 50-55%.These improvements will help the temperatures throughout the home, as well as prevent any moisture damage that may arise in the future.

Anita called Complete Home Solutions to determine what was causing cold floors throughout the first floor of her home. Upon examination, it was determined that the conditions of the home crawl space were to blame, and a full encapsulation was in order. On the day of the installation, our Home Comfort Technicians began by removing all of the old batt insulation from the floor joist above, before laying down our 20mill CleanSpace vapor barrier, which when bolted to the wall creates a seal on the ground of the crawls space, making sure moisture and critters can not make their way in from below. They then sprayed the area with our 2 part closed cell spray foam insulation on all of the exterior walls. The final step to this encapsulation was to install a dehumidifier which was set to a consistent 50-55% humidity. Anita noticed a difference even in mild fall temperatures and can't wait to feel the warmth this winter.

This home in Shady Side, Maryland is below sea level which means that their crawl space is susceptible to moisture seeping into the area. By installing spray foam in the crawl space and sealing the floor with plastic, we prevented water from seeping in and helped to regulate the temperature of the crawl space and prevent the insulation from sagging. This made the home more energy efficient and comfortable.
This customer in Shady Side Maryland called too get their damp humid crawl space under control. By isolating the rawl space from the ground and sealing out hunid outside air, We transformed this crawl space into a insulated energy saving space.
Donna had been in been in her Shady Side, MD home for several years, and finally grew tired of cold floors in the winter and humidity-related problems in the summer. Donna took the right first step in addressing the problem by calling Complete Home Solutions to determine the root cause of her home's comfort issues. Upon arrival, our Home Comfort Specialist conducted a full inspection of the home to determine any areas of concern that could be resulting in uncomfortable temperatures. Following the inspection, the Specialist determined that the main source of any uncomfortable temperatures were coming from a crawl space that was in bad shape. The recommendation made was to fully encapsulate the crawl space to create an area isolated from the earth and outside elements. On the day of the encapsulation, our Home Comfort Technicians began by removing the old vapor barrier and insulation from the crawl space., this provided an empty area to begin the transformation. They then installed our Clean space vapor barrier which when bolted to the walls of the crawl space creates a seal that prevents any moisture or pest from entering the crawl from below. Following the installation of the vapor barrier, our Technicians used a 2 part closed cell spray foam to insulate and seal the walls. This process restricts any air from coming through the vents or cinder blocks in the crawl. The final step of this encapsulation is to install a dehumidifier that regulates the humidity to a consistent 50-55%.
Following the work, Donna could not be happier with the look or performance of her new crawl space and has already noticed a difference in the temperature of her home.
