Before We Got Started

As you can see, our Home Comfort Technicians had a lot of work ahead of them. This crawl space had a torn vapor barrier, a sump pump that wasn't working and open vents letting in the hot humid air in the summer, and cold air in the winter.

Installation of SmartSump

We began by removing all of the standing water in the crawl space which included the installation of a new SmartSump sump pump

CleanSpace Vapor Barrier

Other Companies will just lay a vapor barrier on the floor of the crawl. At Complete Home Solutions we bolt it too the wall to create a full seal. This keeps out any moisture or unwanted critters from entering the crawl space from below.

Spray Foam Added to Exterior Walls

After laying the rest of the vapor barrier our Technicians spray foamed the exterior walls of the crawl. This process covers the vents and also creates a fully insulated area. This allows the humidity to be more easily regulated.
