Jessica bought her home last year and called Complete Home Solutions to determine the cause of the cold floors throughout the first level of the home, as well as an odor that seemed to get worse when it rained. 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, Jessica 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.

A homeowner in LaPlata, Maryland called Complete Home Solutions with the complaint of a drafty and chilly home. We sent our Auditor to investigate the source of the problem. It was determined that the cause of the drafts was inssufficient insulation in our attic.
Our Production Team sealed in the attic with spray foam insulation to keep out drafts making the home warmer and more energy efficient.
Sara's basement was constantly uncomfortable regardless of how warm or cool she kept her central air. After calling Complete Home Solutions, our Home Comfort Specialist was able to discover a culprit behind the drop ceiling. The rim joist, where the main level of the home meets the basement was uninsulated. This would cause the outside temperatures to have a clear path into leak into the home. Our recommendation was our 2 part closed cell spray foam which after prayed creates a hard barrier between internal and external conditions.

Peter's crawl space was nothing short of nasty. It was not only causing comfort issues throughout the first floor of his home but also in danger of causing major issues to the structure of the house due to standing water and moisture throughout the space. following an examination from one of our Home Comfort Specialists, it was easy to determine that a full crawl space encapsulation was needed. 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. Peter noticed an immediate difference in the floor temperature of his home and can't wait to see the difference as the weather outside begins to change.
