Crawlspace Encapsulation in Wilmington, DE townhouse
Homes built in the last century, without basements, were typically built above dirt-floor crawlspaces which were ventilated to the outside. The floors above were insulated by pushing fiberglass batts up against the underside of the floor deck. But there are many problems with this type construction, some of which worsen over the years. For example the fiberglass begins to succumb to the effects of gravity, eventually pulling away from the subfloor deck, leaving it directly exposed to outdoor temperatures. As you might imagine, when this happens the floors above become very cold in winter. But the problems don't stop there. Changes in temperature and humidity result in the eventual growth of mold, which eventually leads to rotting of the floor deck. But even worse, this mold travels through small openings in the floor deck and makes its way into wall cavities on the first floor, infecting them with dangerous mold, which can grow in those spaces, and go undetected for years. Occupants often do not realize the gradual development of allergies and respiratory issues often come from inside their homes.
But years later we have a much better way of doing things. Its called "encapsulation". Lawson Homes Services specializes in the conversion of old traditional dirt floor crawlspaces, into modern, clean, well insulated crawlspaces. As you can see in the picture the crawlspace underneath this Wilmington, DE townhouse goes through a remarkable transition, from a musty creepy, moldy area, to a sparkling clean white space. The ventilation to the outside was blocked off, and new insulation has been installed on the walls of the foundation so that now, the crawlspace will remain at the same temperature as the rooms in the house above it.
NOTE: this crawlspace was extremely low. The fallen insulation is typically removed since with new insulation having been installed on the foundation walls, it is no longer necessary. However, this was left in place due to the tight working conditions.
